Crop Image
You drag a box across the picture and the corners follow your pointer. While you drag it tells you how many pixels you have selected, so you can stop at 1080 wide without doing the arithmetic yourself. Rotate or flip first if the photo came out sideways — the box turns with it. A JPEG comes back a JPEG and a PNG comes back a PNG, so a picture with a transparent background does not quietly gain a white one.

Your files
Press Start and the editor opens below, with the picture and a box you can drag.

Where your file goes
Nowhere. This page downloads a small program into your browser, and that program reads the file straight from your disk. The program comes from this site like any image or stylesheet — but your file only ever travels from your disk into your own browser tab.
Why this one
What you get that the big converters cannot offer.
The box is the interface
Four corners you can grab, a middle you can drag, and a live count of the pixels inside. Nothing asks you to type four numbers into boxes and guess what they mean.
Photos from a phone come out the right way up
A phone often writes the picture sideways and adds a note saying which way to turn it. Browsers do not agree on who reads that note, which is why some crop tools show the box in one place and cut somewhere else. This page reads the note itself and turns the picture before you ever see it.
You get back the kind of file you gave it
PNG stays PNG, JPEG stays JPEG, WebP stays WebP. Transparency survives the crop. Tools that convert everything to JPEG turn a transparent logo into one with a black or white rectangle behind it.
Several pictures in one sitting
Load a batch and each one keeps its own box, its own rotation and its own ratio. One picture downloads on its own; four or more arrive as a single zip, because browsers quietly block a run of downloads.
How to use it
Choose one or more images, then press Start. The editor opens under the panel.
Drag a box over the picture. Pick a ratio if you need one, or leave it free. Rotate or flip if the photo is the wrong way round.
Press Export. The pixel size of each crop is shown before you commit to it.
When people use it
A profile picture that has to be square
Upload forms that want 1:1 usually crop for you, and usually from the middle, which is rarely where your face is.
A photo that came out of the camera sideways
Turning it a quarter turn and cutting the edges is two seconds of work that some editors make you install something for.
Cutting the clutter off a screenshot
The browser chrome, the dock, the notification that appeared halfway through. Nobody needs those in a bug report.
Questions
Does cropping cost quality?
PNG and WebP-lossless keep every pixel you kept. JPEG cannot: a JPEG has to go back through the encoder to be saved, so the crop is re-compressed. We write it at quality 92, which is high enough that you will not see it, but it is not free and it is worth knowing before you crop the same file five times in a row.
Can I rotate by three degrees to straighten a horizon?
No. Only quarter turns and mirror flips. A free-angle rotation needs a crop-and-resample step to hide the corners, and we have not built it. If that is what you came for, this page will not help.
Why is my photo already the right way up before I touch anything?
Because the orientation tag in the file has already been applied. Many phones store the image sideways with a note attached. The page reads that note, turns the pixels, and works in the upright picture from then on, so the box you drag is the box that gets cut.
How large an image can it take?
There is no limit from us. The real ceiling is your own memory and your browser: a 6000 × 4000 photo is comfortable, and much beyond 100 megapixels a browser canvas starts refusing. If it cannot be done you get a message, not a blank result.
Is the picture uploaded?
No. There is no server here to upload it to. The page reads the file off your disk and everything happens inside the tab.
