Visual crop overlay

No upload

Formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC

Crop image is composition, not file size. You throw away edges: a stranger in the corner, extra sky, or a landscape that must become a square avatar.

This listed cropper uses a visual rectangle. Processing stays in the browser. Format-specific URLs (crop JPG, crop PNG) exist for those searches; the engine is the same.

If a network wants 1080×1080, crop to square here, then resize if the box is still too large. Cropping alone does not guarantee a pixel size.

What cropping changes

It deletes pixels outside the box. The remaining scene is the new picture. That is different from resize (whole scene, new grid) and from compress (same pixels, new encoding).

How to crop on this page

Upload a photo. Drag the handles. Crop and download. On a phone, zoom the page if the handles feel small. Batch is per file — composition is rarely identical across a set.

When to use a dedicated square or circle crop

Profile slots that insist on 1:1 or a round mask have their own tools so you are not eyeballing a rectangle. Use those when the platform is picky; use this page for a freeform cut.

Frequently asked questions

Can I crop to a square?

Yes. Shape the rectangle into a square, or use the Social Media resizer for exact network sizes.

Does crop image upload the photo?

No. The cut runs on a canvas in this tab.

Crop vs resize — which first?

Crop to the composition you want, then resize to the pixel box a site named. Doing resize first can leave the wrong edges.

Will cropping reduce quality?

You keep the pixels inside the box, then re-encode. Start from the original, not from a file you already cropped five times.

Can I crop HEIC?

When the browser decodes HEIC, yes. Otherwise export JPG from Photos and crop that.
