Image Cropper (Beta)

Crop one picture or a whole batch to the same area or an exact shape, keeping the format, the quality and even the animation of GIFs.

    One or many pictures, or a .zip of a folder (sub-folders are kept in the result). Animated GIF, WebP and PNG stay animated.

    Options
    Area to keep

    Drawn on the first picture. For a batch, the same part of every picture is kept (measured as a share of its width and height).

    Choose the area

    Measured on the upright picture, from its top-left corner.

    An area reaching past a picture's edge is cut off at the edge.

    Makes every result exactly this shape: the largest area of that shape inside the area above, centred.

    Cut-out

    Circle: everything outside the circle (or oval) becomes transparent; JPEGs are saved as PNG.

    More options

    JPEG and WebP. 0 = the original's quality (read from each JPEG; 90 otherwise).

    0 = keep the cropped size. For example 1080 for 1080 × 1080 squares. Smaller crops are not enlarged.

    Fills transparent areas when saving as JPEG (a hex colour such as #ffffff).

    Off by default so photos you share don't reveal where they were taken. JPEG, PNG and WebP.

    Your files are deleted after processing.

    Crop one picture or a whole folder

    Upload pictures (or a .zip of a folder), choose the part to keep and download the results, all together as a ZIP that keeps your sub-folders, or one by one.

    • Draw the area on the first picture. In a batch the same part of every picture is kept, measured as a share of its width and height, so it fits pictures of different sizes.
    • Exact shapes: square, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 2:1 or 3:1. Every result gets exactly that shape: the largest area of that shape inside the chosen area, centred.
    • Exact pixels: enter left, top, width and height instead of drawing.
    • Circle: cut a round picture out of the area, with transparent corners (saved as PNG when the original was a JPEG).
    • Shrink afterwards: optionally make the longest side a set number of pixels, for example 1080 × 1080 squares.

    Format, quality and animation are kept

    The result has the format of the original. PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF and lossless WebP stay lossless. A JPEG must be saved again after cropping, so the cropper reads the quality setting it was saved with and uses the same one, with the same colour sampling.

    Animated GIF, WebP and PNG (APNG) files stay animated: every frame is cropped, and the frame timing and loop count are kept. GIF colours are kept exactly whenever a frame has 256 colours or fewer.

    Photos from phones and cameras are turned upright first (they are often stored sideways with a rotation flag), so the area you draw matches what you see. Camera info (EXIF), including GPS location, is removed unless you choose to keep it; the colour profile is kept.

    Supported formats

    HEIC and AVIF photos are cropped directly and saved as JPEG (PNG when they have transparent areas) unless you choose another format. Transparent areas stay transparent in PNG, WebP and GIF; JPEG has none, so they are filled with the background colour and the result says so. PSD, SVG and camera RAW files can be converted to PNG or JPEG first with the Image Converter.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I crop many pictures at once?

    Yes. Upload up to 200 files or a .zip of a folder. The same area is kept in every picture, measured as a share of its width and height, so it fits pictures of different sizes. Pick an exact shape such as square to make every result exactly that shape.

    Does cropping lower the quality?

    PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF and lossless WebP stay lossless. A JPEG has to be saved again, so the cropper reads its original quality setting and uses the same one, and keeps its colour sampling, so the result looks the same and has a similar file size per pixel.

    Can I crop an animated GIF?

    Yes. Every frame is cropped and the frame timing and loop count are kept. Animated WebP and animated PNG (APNG) work the same way. GIF colours are kept exactly whenever a frame has 256 colours or fewer, which is almost always the case.

    Why is the crop area in the wrong place on my phone photo?

    It isn't: phones store many photos sideways with a rotation flag, and the cropper turns them upright first, so the area you draw matches the picture as you see it.

    How do I crop a picture into a circle?

    Choose “Circle” as the cut-out. Everything outside the circle becomes transparent, so the result is a PNG (or WebP/GIF if that was the original format). Combine it with the square shape for a perfect circle, for example for a profile picture.

    Are my pictures kept on your server?

    No. Uploads are deleted as soon as the job finishes, and the results are deleted automatically after 30 minutes (or immediately with “Delete now”).
