Crop away the parts that do not help the picture. Draw a free selection, choose a familiar aspect ratio, or enter exact pixel coordinates when precision matters.
Start cropping ↘The crop frame is adjustable. Drag on the image to draw a new one, drag inside it to move it, or pull the lower-right corner to resize. You can also enter exact coordinates.
Keyboard: focus the image and use arrow keys to nudge the selection one pixel. Hold Shift for ten pixels.
Selected: —

Removing a distracting edge helps. Removing context can mislead. Keep enough of the scene to explain what viewers are looking at.
A hand pointing at a product, a person's gaze, or the space between two people may carry the meaning of the photo. A tighter crop is not automatically a better crop. Inspect the small thumbnail after export; a face near the edge can feel cramped there.
For a product listing, do not cut straps, handles, feet, or the shadow that shows how the object sits. A square frame can be useful for a consistent grid, but a narrow item may need more breathing room than the square first suggests.
A photo used as evidence or documentation can tell a different story if surroundings disappear. Preserve the original and use the cropped version as a presentation copy, clearly labelled when context matters.
A ratio describes the shape, not a fixed pixel size. A 1:1 crop can be 800 × 800 or 2000 × 2000. The number of remaining source pixels determines how large the saved crop is.
Say your original is 3000 × 2000 px and you select a 1500 × 1500 square. The crop contains 2.25 million original pixels. It does not become sharper if you later export it at 3000 × 3000. For an exact 1000 × 1000 destination, save the crop here, then use Resize Image to scale that square down.
PNG preserves transparent edges. JPG fills transparency with white. WebP is useful where the destination accepts it. The editor limits output to 24 megapixels to avoid memory failures on smaller devices.
This crop tool runs in the browser. The photo is not sent to our server for cropping. The downloaded result is a separate file; keep the original when you may need a different composition or the uncropped context later.
Yes. Drag inside the white frame. Pull its lower-right corner to resize; drag outside to draw a new frame. The number fields provide exact placement.
The crop only keeps pixels that already existed inside the chosen area. A 300 × 300 region has limited detail even when displayed in a much larger box.
No. Shape and dimensions are separate requirements. After cropping, check the destination's size and file type rules.
