How to use Crop Image

Cut a picture to the shape a profile, a thumbnail or a social post needs. Drag the crop box on your picture, pick a ratio or type exact pixels, see the result before you save, and crop several pictures at once.

  1. Drop a picture (or several) onto the page.
  2. Drag the box to move it and its handles to resize it. Pick a ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9, or leave it free. Type exact pixel values if you need them.
  3. Optional: rotate or flip the picture, choose a rounded or circle shape, set an output width.
  4. Pick a format and quality, press Start and download the cropped pictures.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop a picture to a square?

Choose 1:1 and drag the box where you want it. The box stays square as you resize it, and the result preview shows exactly what you will get.

Can I crop several pictures at the same time?

Yes. Add them all. By default the same crop is applied to every picture in proportion; switch to Each separately to crop each one on its own.

Can I make a round profile picture?

Yes. Choose the Circle shape (it sets a 1:1 box), position it and save as PNG or WebP to keep the transparent corners. JPG has no transparency, so the corners are filled with white.

Does cropping reduce quality?

Cropping only removes the parts outside the box. Saving as JPG or WebP applies the quality setting, and PNG keeps every pixel. You can also resize the result to a set width.

Is Crop Image free?

Yes, and you do not need an account. The free plan allows up to 20 MB and 5 files at a time, and 10 free uses a day. After that you can come back tomorrow or choose a plan. The paid plans (Plus and Pro) remove the wait and raise the file size limit to 250 MB and 500 MB.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Open the page and use it. There is nothing to install, and it works on phones, tablets and computers.

What if something goes wrong?

Open Support from the menu at the top of the page and tell us what happened. A use that fails is not counted against your limit.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on phones, tablets and computers. Very large files can be slow on older phones.
