About this tool

Drag the box to move it and the corner handles to resize. For precise work, type the position and size in pixels, or focus the box and use the arrow keys (hold Shift to resize, Alt for single pixels).

Ratio presets match common uses: 1:1 for profile pictures and marketplace listings, 4:5 for Instagram feed posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and presentations, 9:16 for stories and Reels, and 1.91:1 for link previews on Facebook, LinkedIn and X. Cropping keeps full resolution; the cut area is not resampled.

Good to know

One image at a time, up to 50 megapixels.
Metadata (camera, location) is not copied to the cropped file.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop a photo to a square?

Choose the 1:1 ratio, drag the square over the part you want, and download.

What size is best for an Instagram post?

A 4:5 portrait crop (for example 1080 × 1350 px) uses the most space in the feed. Crop with 4:5, then resize to 1080 px wide if needed.

Does cropping reduce quality?

No. The pixels inside the box are copied as they are. Saving as JPEG adds slight compression at quality 92.
