About this tool
Free Image Cropper Online
Use this free Image Cropper Online to remove unwanted edges, improve composition, or prepare a photo for a website, profile, document, marketplace, or social-media post. Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, drag it inside the crop frame, zoom in on the important area, rotate or flip it, and download the cropped result without installing editing software. Choose a square 1:1 crop for profile pictures and product thumbnails, 4:3 for general landscape images, 3:2 for common photo proportions, or 16:9 for banners and video thumbnails. Original Ratio keeps the source proportions. Custom Ratio lets you enter your own relative width and height when a platform or design requires a less common frame. The crop editor is interactive: drag the image to reposition it while the crop frame stays visible, then use the zoom control for precise framing. Rotation supports fine degree adjustments as well as quick 90-degree left and right controls. Horizontal and vertical flip options are useful for correcting mirrored images or changing visual direction. The downloaded file reflects the crop, rotation, and flip settings shown in the editor. Export the result as JPG, PNG, or WebP. JPG is broadly compatible and works well for photographs but cannot preserve transparency. PNG is lossless and suitable for screenshots, text, graphics, and transparent images. WebP often creates smaller modern web images while supporting transparency. JPG and WebP quality controls let you balance image detail and download size. Cropping changes the visible area but does not guarantee a particular pixel dimension or maximum file size. After cropping, use the Image Resizer to Exact Dimensions when a form or platform requires a fixed width and height. Use the Image Compressor to Specific KB when the destination also imposes a strict upload-size limit. The complete editing process runs locally in your browser. Your selected image is not uploaded to WebToolsEdge for cropping, previewing, or downloading. This makes the tool useful for personal photos, product pictures, application images, document scans, and other files you prefer to keep on your device.
Need a fixed pixel size after cropping? Continue with the Image Resizer to Exact Dimensions, then meet a strict upload limit using the Image Compressor to Specific KB. Browse all Image Tools for related browser-based workflows.

Questions
Image Cropper Online FAQ
How do I crop an image online?+
Upload an image, choose a ratio, drag and zoom it inside the crop frame, then click Crop image and download the result.
Can I crop an image to a square 1:1 ratio?+
Yes. Select Square 1:1, reposition the image, and export it as JPG, PNG, or WebP.
Can I use a custom crop ratio?+
Yes. Choose Custom Ratio and enter relative width and height values such as 5:4 or 7:5.
Can I rotate and flip the image before cropping?+
Yes. Use fine rotation, 90-degree left or right controls, and horizontal or vertical flip buttons.
What is the best crop ratio for social media?+
It depends on the destination. Square 1:1 is common for profile images and posts, while 16:9 is common for video thumbnails and banners. Confirm current platform specifications before publishing.
Does cropping reduce image quality?+
Cropping removes pixels outside the selected area. JPG and WebP may also lose detail at lower quality settings, while PNG output is lossless.
Can the tool preserve transparency?+
PNG and WebP output can preserve transparent pixels. JPG replaces transparent areas with white.
Will the cropped image have exact pixel dimensions?+
The output dimensions depend on the selected crop area. Use the Image Resizer to Exact Dimensions afterward when a specific width and height are required.
Can I crop an image to a specific KB size?+
Cropping alone does not guarantee file size. Use the Image Compressor to Specific KB after downloading the cropped image.
Is my image uploaded to a server?+
No. Cropping, rotation, flipping, previewing, and file generation happen locally in your browser.
