Crop & Resize Images

Cut it down, size it right, keep it on your device.

Everything happens on this device. No upload, no copy kept.

How to use

  1. Pick an image or drop it on the box. Drag the handles, or choose a shape like 1:1.
  2. Type a width or a height — the other follows while the lock is on — or set a percentage.
  3. Choose JPG, PNG or WebP and download.

Examples

A square for a profile picture

Most profile pictures are cropped to a square whether you like it or not. Doing it here means you choose which part survives.

A photo that is too big to attach

Halving the width quarters the pixels, which usually does more for the file size than any quality slider. Image Compressor

A portrait photo that keeps appearing sideways

A phone saves the picture as the sensor saw it and writes which way up it should be in a tag. This page reads the tag and draws it upright, so what you crop is what you saw.

A passport photo

Official sizes have their own rules — face position, background, exact pixels — and a separate tool for them. ID Photo Resize

FAQ

Is the photo uploaded?

No. It is decoded, cropped and re-encoded in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored.

Why do my phone photos come out sideways on other sites?

Because a camera stores the picture as the sensor read it and notes the rotation in an EXIF tag. Some decoders apply that tag and some ignore it. This page reads the tag itself and turns the picture before you crop, so the preview and the saved file agree.

What does the lock do?

With the lock on, typing a width sets the height to match the original proportions. Turn it off to stretch the picture deliberately.

Does enlarging improve the picture?

No. Pixels that were never recorded cannot be invented — a 2× enlargement is the same photo with softer edges. Scaling down is lossless in the way that matters; scaling up is not.

Which format should I save as?

JPG for photographs, PNG when you need a transparent background or crisp text, WebP when the destination accepts it and you want both small and sharp.

Does cropping lose quality?

The part you keep is redrawn at its own size, so a crop alone changes very little. The re-encode is the part that costs: JPG and WebP compress again, PNG does not.
