This runs on your device. Your images are never uploaded.

How it works

The largest region matching your chosen ratio is taken from the image, so nothing is stretched. Position controls which part survives — centre suits most photos, but a portrait usually wants top so faces are not cut off.

Your privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser — your images are never uploaded anywhere. Very large files fall back to our server, and the tool tells you before you run it when that applies. Either way, no account is needed.

Crop an image to a specific aspect ratio — square, 16:9, 4:5, and more — in your browser. Cropping to a ratio is the fast way to make a picture fit where it is going without measuring pixels, so it fills the frame instead of being letterboxed or auto-cropped.

Crop to the right aspect ratio

Cropping to a ratio — 1:1 square, 16:9, 4:5, 9:16 and more — is the fast way to make a picture fit where it is going without measuring pixels. Position the crop over the part you want to keep, and the image fills the frame instead of being letterboxed or auto-cropped by the platform later.

Cropping keeps full quality

Cropping only removes area from the edges; the pixels you keep are completely untouched, so there is no quality loss. It all happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

When to use Crop to aspect ratio
