Quick answer
Crop an image to the framing and aspect ratio you need
Drag the crop box over the part of the image you want to keep, choose a common or free aspect ratio, and download the cropped PNG.
Cropping removes content outside the selected area; it does not merely shrink the entire picture.

Common Crop Ratios
Cropping is about choosing the visible area, not just resizing. Pick a ratio that matches where the image will be used.
| Ratio | Common use | Reminder |
|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | Profile images and square thumbnails | Keep the subject near the center. |
| 16:9 | Wide covers and slide images | Leave room near the edges for platform cropping. |
| 9:16 | Stories and vertical posts | Check that important text is not too close to the top or bottom. |
Crop Before You Resize
When an image needs both framing and a smaller output size, crop first and resize second. This keeps the subject in the right place before dimensions are reduced.
| Task | Recommended order | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Profile photo | Crop to 1:1, then resize | Keeps the face or subject centered. |
| Cover image | Crop to the platform ratio, then resize | Avoids accidental edge cuts after upload. |
| Product photo | Crop distractions, then convert format | Keeps attention on the product. |
Avoid Cutting Off Important Content
A good crop keeps the subject, readable text, and important edges inside the final frame. This matters most for profile photos, cover images, product shots, and social posts where platforms may crop again after upload.
| Image type | What to protect | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| Profile photo | Face or main subject | Leave a little space around the subject. |
| Cover image | Text and key objects | Avoid putting text too close to edges. |
| Product image | Whole product outline | Crop distractions, not the product itself. |
| Screenshot | Labels and buttons | Keep UI text readable after cropping. |
FAQ
Is my image uploaded?
No. Cropping happens locally in your browser.
Which format do I download?
The cropped image downloads as a PNG file.
Can I use a fixed aspect ratio?
Yes. Choose ratios such as 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, or set a custom ratio.
Is cropping the same as resizing?
No. Cropping changes what part of the image is visible. Resizing changes the output dimensions.
