Crop image

Crop an image to a standard aspect ratio or to an exact rectangle you give in pixels. Runs in your browser, so the picture is never uploaded.

Which edge the kept rectangle is pushed against.

No upload

This tool does not upload your files

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your files stay on your device from start to finish, there is no server copy, and nothing is stored once you leave the page. That is true for every tool on FileFlip.

About this tool

Cropping is how you fix a photo that has too much sky in it, or make a picture fit a slot that expects one shape. This tool does it two ways. Pick an aspect ratio and it takes the largest rectangle of that shape it can, from the part of the picture you choose. Or give it exact pixels and it takes precisely that rectangle. Both run on your own machine, so the photo is never uploaded.

How to crop image

  1. 01

    Add your images

    Drop in one file or a whole batch. Every image gets the same treatment, and in aspect ratio mode the rectangle is worked out separately for each one, so mixed sizes are fine.

  2. 02

    Choose how to crop

    Aspect ratio mode is for shapes: square for an avatar, 16:9 for a video thumbnail, 9:16 for a phone screen. Exact rectangle mode is for when you already know the pixels you want.

  3. 03

    Say which part to keep

    In aspect ratio mode, the rectangle is centred by default. Choose top when the subject is a head, or bottom when the important part sits low in the frame.

  4. 04

    Pick a format and download

    PNG keeps transparency and stays lossless. JPG and WebP are smaller. The results appear in a list with their new sizes.

What to watch for

Cropping only removes pixels

The part you keep is copied across untouched, at its original resolution. Cropping never enlarges anything, so a small picture cropped tighter is a smaller picture, not a blurrier one.

A rectangle that runs off the edge is trimmed

If you ask for 1000 pixels starting 800 pixels in from the left of a 1200 pixel wide image, you get the 400 pixels that are actually there rather than an error.

Aspect ratio never adds bars

The rectangle is always inside the picture, so nothing is padded and no letterbox appears. To reshape without losing content you want the resize tool instead.

Frequently asked

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser using code that was downloaded to your device. Your file is never sent to us or to anyone else, so there is no copy to store or leak.
Can I drag a box to choose the area?
Not here. The tool works from a ratio or from numbers, which is what makes it possible to crop a hundred files the same way in one go.
Does cropping reduce quality?
The pixels themselves are untouched. If you save as JPG or WebP the encoder recompresses them, so choose PNG when you want the kept area to stay bit for bit identical.
Which ratio should I use for a profile picture?
1:1. Almost every site that shows a round avatar expects a square image and crops the circle out of it.
