Crop Image — free online tool
Crop an image to an exact aspect ratio: square for a profile picture, 4:3 or 3:2 for photos, 16:9 for a slide or banner, 2:3 for a portrait print. Choose the ratio, position the crop frame over the part you want to keep, and download the result as a lossless PNG. It runs entirely in your browser — your photo never leaves your device, there is nothing to install, and it is free with no sign-up. Because cropping only removes pixels, the kept area is exactly as sharp as the original.
- Five ratios: 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 and 2:3
- Drag the frame to choose which part of the image survives
- Lossless — the pixels you keep are unchanged
- Accepts JPG, PNG and WebP; transparency preserved in the PNG output
- Runs in the browser; nothing is uploaded

Frequently asked questions
Can I crop freely without a fixed ratio?
The tool is built around fixed ratios because that is what forms, profiles and print sizes require. For a free-form crop, open the image in Edit PDF after converting it with JPG to PDF, or use your device's photo editor.
Which ratio should I use for a resume or LinkedIn photo?
Square (1:1), framed from the top of the head to just below the shoulders with a little space above the head. Most professional platforms display a circle cut from a square, so keep your face centred.
Does cropping reduce the resolution?
It reduces the pixel count to the area kept, but every remaining pixel is untouched. A 4000 × 3000 photo cropped to a centred square becomes 3000 × 3000 at full sharpness. Only Resize Image changes pixel density.
Is metadata removed?
Yes. Like the other image tools, the output is re-encoded through the browser canvas, which drops EXIF data including GPS location. Keep the original if you need the capture details.
