Crop Images Online

About this tool

The Image Cropper cuts a photo or screenshot down to the rectangle you pick, dropping whatever you don't need. Cropping pulls attention to the subject, clears out empty space, preps thumbnails, fixes lopsided composition and gets images to an exact aspect ratio.

Reach for it with product photos, profile pictures, blog images, screenshots, documents, social posts and design assets. Set the crop coordinates and size, run it, and you've got a trimmed version.

Cropping isn't the same as resizing. Cropping changes what part of the image you see; resizing changes the final dimensions. A lot of the time you'll crop first to nail the composition, then resize for wherever it's headed.

Common Cropping Use Cases

Crop to kill a distracting background, zero in on a product, isolate a person, trim the browser chrome off a screenshot, make a square profile picture, or shape an image card for a website. A good crop can make an ordinary shot feel deliberate.

It's useful for scanned documents and forms too. Cutting out extra table space or a dark border makes a document easier to read before you convert or share it.

Crop Before You Resize

If an image needs both a composition fix and a smaller size, crop it first. That keeps the part you care about and stops you from shrinking stuff you were going to throw out anyway. Once the crop looks right, use the resizer for the exact final dimensions.
