About Image Cropper
Avatars, thumbnails and banners all want a particular shape. Instead of a draggable box this cropper works in numbers: the four fields start at the full image, and the ratio buttons set the largest centered area that fits. You then nudge X and Y to slide the area, or change the width and height, and the crop is cut on our servers. The result keeps the format of the file you uploaded.
Features
- Crop box set by X, Y, width and height in pixels
- Ratio presets for 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 and 9:16
- Presets center the largest area that fits the image
- Checks the area stays inside the image before it enables the button
- Output keeps the format of the upload
Limitations
- There is no draggable selection on the picture; you set the crop with numbers.
- Typing a new width or height switches the ratio back to Free, so a preset is not kept while you edit it.
- JPG and WebP results are re-encoded at a fixed quality of 95 and EXIF tags are not copied. Uploads can be up to 60 MB.
- Downloading the cropped file needs a free account; without one you see a reduced-size preview.
How it works
- Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP file onto the upload area, or browse for it.
- Optionally click a ratio: Free, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 or 9:16. The crop area jumps to the largest centered rectangle with that shape.
- Adjust X and Y, the distance in pixels from the left and top edges, and the Width and Height of the area.
- Select Crop Image once no red error message is showing.
- Compare the cropped result with the original, then press Download.
Frequently asked questions
- Click 1:1 or 16:9. The fields fill with the largest rectangle of that shape that fits, centered in the picture. If you want a different part of the image, change X or Y to slide the area, and then crop.
- X plus width cannot be larger than the image width, and Y plus height cannot be larger than its height. The message includes the image size in pixels, so you can see the limit. The Crop Image button stays disabled until the numbers fit.
- From the top-left corner of the image. X is the distance in pixels from the left edge and Y is the distance from the top edge, applied after any camera rotation flag has been used to turn the photo upright.
- The file type stays as uploaded. PNG remains lossless, while JPG and WebP are saved again at quality 95, so cropping once is a mild change. EXIF tags are not copied to the new file.
- Yes, the cut is made on our server. A result created while signed out expires after 24 hours and is deleted automatically.
