Free Online Image Cropper
Crop images online with a live interactive editor — drag the frame, lock aspect ratios, and export JPG, PNG or WebP.
About the Crop Image
A real interactive cropping editor — drag the frame, pull the corner handles, lock to popular ratios like 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or free-form. Because everything renders on your device canvas, there's no upload wait: adjust and export instantly, even on phones and Chromebooks.
How it works
This is a hands-on editor, not a preset: your image loads onto an interactive canvas where you drag, move and resize the crop frame freely, with ratio locks (free, 1:1, 16:9 and more) and straightening controls when the horizon needs help. The final pixels come from a clean canvas crop — no re-compression round trips in between.
How to use it
Drop one image, drag the frame handles until the composition looks right, optionally lock a ratio or nudge rotation in fine steps, then apply. Choose your output format and quality, and download the crop instantly.
Supported formats & limitations
Accepts .jpg, .png and .webp up to 30MB; single-image editing. PNG output preserves transparency outside rotated corners; JPEG fills them with your background color. Works with mouse, trackpad and touch alike.
Common use cases
Framing product shots, tightening headshots, trimming slides from screenshots, and any composition call a human should make. When you know the target ratio, the ratio presets (square, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2) get you there in one lock and one drag.
Frequently asked questions
Can I crop on a phone?
Yes — the crop frame supports touch dragging and pinch-friendly handles on mobile and Chromebook trackpads.
Which ratios are supported?
Free, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16 and custom numeric ratios you type.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping keeps the original pixels of the remaining area untouched, so the part you keep stays as sharp as the source. You only lose the areas you cut away. The quality slider affects the re-encode step, not the crop itself.
Which aspect ratios can I crop to?
The editor is free-form with ratio locks, and dedicated tools cover the common ratios in one click: 1:1 square, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3 and 3:2, plus circle crops. Open the ratio list in the editor for all presets.
