Crop an image online
Cut photos to exact dimensions with drag or keyboard entry, then download the result as a PNG.
How to use the editor
- 1
Upload one image and wait for the crop preview to appear.
- 2
Drag a selection on the preview, or type exact X, Y, width, and height values.
- 3
Rotate or flip first when the framing needs it, because either clears the current selection.
- 4
Check the output size readout, then download the cropped PNG.
Where to start in the editor
Start with the selection on the preview, then fine-tune with the X, Y, width, and height fields. The rotate and flip controls stay available above the crop fields.
Useful tip
Type exact pixel values when a platform demands specific dimensions, and drag when framing matters more than numbers.
Before you download
Rotating or flipping clears the crop selection, so always set the crop area last.
When to use it
- Cut a profile photo to a square without losing the subject.
- Remove distracting edges from a screenshot before sharing it.
- Extract a receipt from a larger photo for expense records.
Common mistakes
- Cropping before rotating, which clears the selection you just made.
- Typing dimensions larger than the image, which the fields refuse.
- Expecting the crop to change the file format: the output is always PNG.
What you download
Downloads as a PNG in the exact selected dimensions. Without a selection you get the full image, and reset restores the full area at any time.
Questions
How do I crop to exact pixels?
Type X, Y, width, and height into the crop fields. The output readout shows the resulting size before you download, so you can match platform requirements precisely.
Why did my selection disappear?
Rotating, flipping, or pressing reset clears the current selection. Set the crop area after any rotation or flip, as the last step before downloading.
What format is the download?
The crop editor always exports PNG. If you need JPG or WebP, convert the result afterwards on the converter page.
