    Crop an image to the exact frame you need

    This tool cuts away the parts of a picture you do not want and keeps the part that matters, right in your browser. Drag the crop box over your photo, pull its corners into place, and the readout shows the exact pixel size of the area you have framed. Nothing is uploaded, and the crop is taken from your original file at full resolution.

    Ratio presets do the measuring for you. Pick 1:1 for a square, 4:5 for a portrait post, 16:9 for a video thumbnail or 9:16 for a story, and the box holds that shape while you drag it. Free mode lets the box take any shape at all.

    How to crop an image

    1. Drop your image into the box above. It opens at full size with a crop box over it.
    2. Pick a ratio preset, or leave the box free if the frame you need has no fixed shape.
    3. Drag the box to move it, and pull the corner handles to resize it around your subject.
    4. Check the pixel readout so the framed area matches the size your destination asks for.
    5. Choose the output format, then download the cropped image.

    Ratio presets and where each one fits

    The 1:1 square is the default shape for profile pictures, product listings and grid posts. The 4:5 portrait fills more of a phone screen in a feed without going full height. The 3:2 shape matches the frame most cameras shoot, so it trims a photo gently instead of reshaping it. The 4:3 shape suits slides, older screens and many document layouts.

    Wide and tall shapes serve video and stories. The 16:9 box frames thumbnails and video stills. The 9:16 box is the tall mirror of it, built for stories and full-screen phone video covers. If the destination gives you pixel dimensions instead of a ratio, watch the readout while you drag and stop on the exact numbers. A crop sets the frame, and the separate resize image tool sets the final pixel size when the framed area still needs scaling. Both sit in the image tools collection.

    What cropping keeps, and what the save changes

    Here is the plain version. The pixels inside your crop box are kept exactly as they are, with no shrinking, stretching or filtering applied to them. Cropping throws away the area outside the box and nothing more. A face inside the frame keeps every pixel it had in the original.

    The save is a separate step. When you download the result as a JPG, the browser re-encodes those pixels into a fresh JPG file, and re-encoding always costs a small amount of fine detail. So this is an honest crop, not a bit-for-bit lossless one. Download as PNG when the cropped area must stay pixel-perfect, for example a diagram or a screenshot headed for documentation. And know the limit in the other direction too: cropping cannot add detail. A small framed area enlarged later will look soft, because the pixels for a bigger picture were never there.

    Your files stay on your device

    The crop box, the readout and the final cut all run in this browser tab. Your picture is never uploaded, never stored on a server and never seen by anyone at ToolPeko. Close the tab and nothing remains. There is no account, no daily limit and no watermark.

    FAQs

    Can I crop to an exact pixel size?

    Yes. The readout shows the width and height of the framed area in pixels as you drag. Match those numbers to the size your form, listing or platform asks for, then download.

    Does cropping reduce image quality?

    The framed pixels themselves are untouched. Saving as JPG re-encodes them and costs a little fine detail, as any JPG save does. Choose PNG output when the cropped area has to stay exact.

    Which ratio should I pick for social posts?

    Use 1:1 for profile pictures and grid posts, 4:5 for feed portraits, 16:9 for video thumbnails and 9:16 for stories. The presets hold the shape while you position the box.

    Can I crop an image into a circle?

    No. This tool cuts rectangles and squares. A round profile picture is a square image that the platform displays inside a circle mask, so frame your subject in a 1:1 box with some room around it.

    Why is my cropped file smaller than the original?

    Because it holds fewer pixels. The area outside the box is gone, so the file carries only the framed part of the picture. Smaller dimensions mean a smaller file.

    Are my images uploaded anywhere?

    No. Everything happens in your browser on your device. Nothing is sent or stored, and there is no sign-up.
