Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping only cuts away the outer part of the picture. The pixels you keep stay the same. The image just has fewer pixels overall because it is smaller.
What is the difference between crop and resize?
Crop removes parts of the image. Resize changes the whole image to a new width and height without cutting anything away.
Which aspect ratio should I use?
Use 1:1 for profile pictures and square posts, 4:3 for classic photos, and 16:9 for videos and wide banners. You can also crop freely to any shape.
Can I crop a PNG with a clear background?
Yes. A PNG keeps its transparent areas after cropping.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser.
Is this crop tool free?
Yes, it is free and there is no watermark on your image.
Understanding Aspect Ratios When You Crop
An aspect ratio is the shape of an image, written as width to height. A square is 1:1. A wide screen is 16:9. Many platforms want a certain shape, and if you upload the wrong one, they cut your picture automatically, often in the wrong place.
When you crop first, you decide what stays in the frame. Here are some common ones. 1:1 for profile photos and square posts. 4:5 for portrait posts. 16:9 for video thumbnails and website banners. 3:2 for standard camera photos.
After cropping, you might want to change the final size. Our Resize Image tool can set the exact width and height you need.
