About this tool
Cuts a picture down to the part you actually want. Turn it upright first if the camera held it sideways, level a crooked horizon, then drag a selection, or lock it to a shape when the result has to fit somewhere particular like a profile picture or a video thumbnail.
How to use it
- 1Drop in a photo or a screenshot, or paste one straight from the clipboard.
- 2Turn or mirror it if it is the wrong way up, and straighten it if it is off level.
- 3Pick a shape, or leave it free to select any rectangle.
- 4Drag a selection over the part you want to keep.
- 5Choose a format and download the result.
Good to know
The selection is kept as proportions, not pixels
The picture on screen is smaller than the file behind it, so a selection has to be translated back before anything is cut. Storing it as a percentage of the image rather than as a position on screen means resizing the window, collapsing a panel or turning a phone between choosing and saving cannot move the crop. The file is read into memory by your own browser and processed there, so it is never uploaded and never reaches a server.
Turning happens before the selection
The picture is turned first and the selection is taken out of the result, so the rectangle you drag is the rectangle you get. Straightening leaves empty corners, which is exactly why cropping afterwards is the usual next step: pull the selection inside the picture and the gaps go with the trimmings.
Cropping never re-scales what it keeps
The pixels inside the selection are copied out at their original size, so a crop of a large photograph is still a large photograph. Choose a lossless format if you intend to keep editing, since re-saving as JPEG each time compounds the compression.
