Image cropper.

How to crop an image

1. Choose a JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF image and wait for the preview.
2. Pick a shape: Free for any rectangle, or 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 or 2:3 to lock the proportions.
3. Drag a rectangle on the picture, or type the exact width, height and X and Y position and press Apply dimensions.
4. Press Crop image, look over the result, and download it.

Which ratio should you use?

Cropping is mostly about meeting a destination's shape. A square 1:1 crop suits profile pictures, app icons and many feed posts. 4:3 matches older monitors and most presentation slides. 16:9 is the standard for video thumbnails and banner images. 3:2 is what many cameras shoot and what photo prints expect, and 2:3 is its upright twin, used for posters and stories. When you are not sure, crop to the shape the site or print shop asks for rather than guessing.

Think about where the subject sits before you crop. Leaving a little room around faces and avoiding cuts through hands and edges gives a more natural result, and you can always crop again from the original.

What happens to your picture

The cropping tool runs in a sealed frame that cannot make network requests. Your image is cut out by your browser and returned as a download, so private photos and screenshots are not uploaded to TNAADO or anyone else. The adverts on this page sit outside the frame and cannot read it.

Good to know

• The tool crops in place; it does not resize, so the cropped area keeps the original pixel density.
• Cropping to a very small area leaves few pixels, so the result will look coarse if displayed large.
• Use the Reset button to start again from the untouched original.
