Crop Image

Crop an image to the area you want, with zoom and 90-degree rotation.

Crop Image

Upload an image to crop and rotate it.

What Crop Image does

Cropping is the most effective edit most photographs receive: removing what is irrelevant strengthens what remains, and it also reduces the file size.

Drag a selection over the image, adjust it, and export just that region.

  • Freeform crop area you drag directly on the image
  • Zoom in and out for precision
  • Rotate in 90-degree steps
  • Exports as PNG

How to use Crop Image

  1. 1

    Add your image

    Drop in a PNG, JPEG or WebP file.

  2. 2

    Drag the crop area

    Adjust the edges until the selection is right.

  3. 3

    Zoom or rotate if needed

    Zoom helps with precise edges; rotation fixes sideways photographs.

  4. 4

    Download the crop

    The selected region is exported as a PNG.

Limits and known behaviour

  • Output is always PNG. For a photograph that is a much larger file than JPEG would be; run it through the converter afterwards if size matters.
  • There are no aspect-ratio presets, so a square or 16:9 crop has to be judged by eye.
  • Rotation is in 90-degree steps only; a slightly tilted horizon cannot be levelled.
  • There is no output resizing: the crop keeps the original pixel density.
  • Supported formats are the ones your browser can decode and encode: PNG, JPEG and WebP. HEIC from iPhones, AVIF, TIFF and RAW camera files are not supported.

Privacy and data handling

Runs entirely in your browser

  • Your image is decoded and redrawn by the browser inside this page. It is never uploaded.
  • Nothing is stored; the file and the result disappear when you close the tab.

Site-wide data handling, including analytics and advertising, is described in the privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my cropped file bigger than the original?

Because the export is PNG, which is lossless. Cropping a JPEG photograph and saving it as PNG can easily produce a larger file even though the image is smaller. Convert it back to JPEG if that matters.

Can I crop to an exact size?

Not numerically. The crop is set by dragging, so exact pixel dimensions have to be judged visually.
