What is Image Cropper?
Cropping is the most common image edit there is, and it rarely warrants heavy software. Every platform has its own preferred ratio: Instagram favours 1:1 and 4:5, stories and Reels use 9:16, YouTube and cover images use 16:9. Upload the wrong ratio and the platform crops it for you — usually cutting off the part that mattered.
This tool lets you drag the crop region directly on the image, or pick a preset ratio to lock the frame. Everything runs through the Canvas API on your own machine — the file is never uploaded, and the crop keeps the original resolution of that region rather than being scaled down.
How to use
- Drop an image onto the box, or click to choose a file.
- Pick a preset ratio, or leave it on Free to crop however you like.
- Drag inside the bright region to move it; drag outside to draw a new region.
- Check the pixel dimensions shown below, then click Download.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce quality?
There is no downscaling — the selected region is cut at its original resolution. JPGs are re-encoded at 92% quality, which is visually indistinguishable; PNGs stay lossless.
Which ratio suits which platform?
Instagram feed posts use 1:1 or 4:5, stories and Reels 9:16, TikTok 9:16, YouTube thumbnails 16:9, and Facebook covers are close to 16:9. Getting it right up front stops the platform from cropping for you.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping uses the browser's Canvas API. Disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still crops and downloads normally.
