When to use this tool
- You want to remove distractions or unwanted edges from a photo.
- You need an image to fit an exact aspect ratio or pixel size.
- You're framing a subject for a thumbnail, banner or profile picture.
Best for
- Thumbnails
- Profile pictures
- Banners and headers
- Removing watermarks at the edge
Quality & file size notes
- • Cropping is lossless when the output format matches the input (PNG → PNG, WEBP → WEBP).
- • If you also resize while cropping, choose dimensions close to where the image will actually be displayed.
Things to watch out for
- — Cropping smaller than the display target forces the browser/app to upscale, which looks soft.
- — Once exported, the cropped-out pixels are gone — keep the original.
Not sure which format to choose?
Compare JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, SVG, BMP, TIFF and PDF side-by-side with use cases and trade-offs.

Can I crop to an exact pixel size?+
Yes — set the width and height directly, or choose one of the social media presets and the tool will lock to the right aspect ratio.
Does cropping reduce image quality?+
No. We don't re-encode pixels that stay inside the crop, so quality is preserved.
Can I undo a crop after downloading?+
Not from the downloaded file — always keep your original. Inside the editor you can drag the crop box freely before exporting.
