Precise cropping without an app
Cropping is the quickest way to improve a photo: remove clutter at the edges, straighten the focus onto your subject, or cut an image to the exact shape a platform expects. Drag the frame and its handles, or type the X, Y, width and height when you need pixel-perfect results.
Pick a ratio such as 1:1 for profile pictures, 4:5 for Instagram, 16:9 for YouTube or the 35:45 passport shape and the box keeps that proportion while you resize it. The crop is taken from the full-resolution original and saved in its original format.

Common uses
- Profile photos: Crop to a centred square for WhatsApp, LinkedIn or Google.
- Passport and form photos: Frame your face in the 35:45 shape, then resize to the required pixels.
- Screenshots: Cut out just the part of the screen you want to share.
Tips and good to know
- After cropping, use the Image Resizer to reach exact pixel dimensions, then the Image Compressor for a KB limit.
- To straighten a tilted horizon first, rotate by a small angle with the Image Rotator.
- Cropping a photo removes the cut-off area permanently in the new file — your original file is not changed.
