Crop an image

Quick Crop is an online image cropper for reframing photos, trimming screenshots and removing unwanted edges. Select the part you want to keep, choose an output format and save a separate image. Your original stays unchanged and your image is not uploaded.

Which crop ratio fits the image I need?

Choose 1:1 for square product photos or profile pictures, 16:9 for landscape thumbnails, and 9:16 for portrait stills. The 3:2 preset matches a 6 × 4 inch print, while 4:3 keeps a more compact landscape frame. Choose Free for an unconstrained rectangle; it means free-form cropping, not a different pricing plan. Keep important faces, text and product edges inside the selection, with room for the destination's own cropping or overlays.

How do I get the right pixel dimensions?

An aspect ratio describes the shape, not the resolution. A 16:9 crop is not automatically 1280 × 720 pixels. The Width and Height fields report the selected area in source pixels and cannot be typed into. Drag the handles to choose the area, then use the Image Resizer if an upload form needs exact dimensions. For prints, check that enough pixels remain for your intended print size; cropping more tightly leaves fewer pixels to print.

Which format keeps text, transparency or photo detail?

PNG is a practical choice for screenshots with small text and crops with transparent edges. JPG works well for photographs and broad compatibility, but transparent areas become white. WebP is useful when the destination supports it. JPG and WebP quality starts at 92% and can be adjusted from 30% to 100%. Lower settings often reduce the file size but can soften detail; PNG has no lossy quality setting.

Check the generated preview and output size before downloading. Removing pixels does not guarantee a smaller file because the output is newly encoded and may use a different format. For a strict upload-size limit, try the Image Compressor after cropping. To cut out a product rather than just trim its edges, use the Background Remover.

What does Pro add, and what still depends on my browser?

Free handles one image up to 10 MB, with 3 completed crops (3 as a guest, 5 with a free account) or other counted conversions a day shared across tools. Pro removes those file-size and daily restrictions, but still crops one image at a time. All ratios, formats and quality controls are available on both plans. Very large images can exceed your device's memory or your browser's maximum image dimensions, even when the compressed source file is small.

Personal photos and document screenshots stay on your device. Keep the source if you need its metadata or want to change the framing later: the cropped download cannot restore the discarded edges. This tool saves still images; for a moving clip, use the Vertical Video Converter.
