# Crop an image

> Drag the crop box on your picture, lock it to a shape like 1:1 or 16:9, or type the exact width and height in pixels.

Drag a box, pick a shape, or type the exact size in pixels. Free, no signup. Runs entirely in your browser; files are never uploaded.

## How it works

The crop box sits on the picture itself. Drag it to move it, pull any edge or corner to resize it, or draw a new box; everything outside is dimmed so you can see what will be kept. Pick a shape (original, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 4:5, 9:16) and the box keeps that ratio while you resize it. For precise work, type the width and height of the selection in pixels and its distance from the left and top edges, or nudge the box one pixel at a time with the arrow keys. Choose Exact size when a form or website asks for a specific pixel size, for example 200 × 230: the box takes that shape and whatever is inside it is saved at exactly that size. Save as JPG, PNG or WebP; PNG and WebP keep transparency. The saved size in pixels and the file size are shown before you download. Useful for grabbing a face from a group photo, cutting a chart out of a screenshot, making a square profile picture, or trimming a photo to the size an application form wants.

3. **Choose a format.** Save as JPG, PNG or WebP. Pick Exact size if you need a specific pixel size.
4. **Download.** The cropped image is ready as you adjust; download it, or send it straight to another tool.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I crop an image online?

Drop the image, then drag the box or its edges until it covers the part you want. The result is ready to download straight away; there is no separate crop button.

### Can I crop to an exact width and height in pixels?

Yes. Type the width and height of the selection in pixels, and its position from the left and top. To get a file of a specific size, such as 200 × 230 px for a form, choose Exact size and type that size: the selected part of the picture is scaled to exactly those pixels.

### Can I lock the crop to an aspect ratio?

Yes. Pick 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 4:5 or 9:16, or keep the original shape. You can also press the lock between width and height to keep whatever shape the box has now.

### Which format is the cropped image saved in?

JPG, PNG or WebP, your choice. It starts on the format closest to your original. PNG keeps every pixel and transparency; JPG is smaller and works everywhere.

### Is my image uploaded?

No. The crop runs in a canvas in your browser, so the picture never leaves your device.
