Crop to the shape here, then set the exact pixels on the resize page. Platforms change their sizes now and then; check their own help pages before a campaign.
Crops that work
- Crop first, then resize. The shape decides what stays in; the resize page then makes it exactly 1080 × 1080 or any other size.
- Leave the subject a little off-centre. The grid in the frame shows the thirds: eyes, horizons and products look best near those lines.
- Keep a margin around faces for round avatars. A circle cuts the corners, so give the head some room on every side.
- Smaller crops load faster. Fewer pixels make a lighter file; the free speed test shows whether images slow your page down.
Your images stay on your device
The cropping happens in your browser. Your images are not uploaded, stored or seen by anyone; closing the tab leaves nothing behind.
Questions about cropping
How do I crop an image to a square?
Pick 1:1. The frame becomes the largest square that fits, centred; drag it to the part you want and download.
How do I crop an image into a circle?
Pick Circle. The corners outside the circle become transparent, so the result is a PNG, ready for a profile photo or a round icon.
Can I crop several images at once?
Yes: up to 20 images at a time, each up to 30 MB. A shape applies to all of them, centred; press Edit on any image to move its frame, then download one by one or as a ZIP.
How do I crop to an exact size like 1080 × 1080?
Crop to 1:1 here, then set a width of 1080 on the free resize page: Resize images
Does cropping lower the quality?
The pixels you keep are not changed. A JPG is saved again at high quality (90), which looks the same; PNG stays lossless. The format stays as it was, except a circle, which becomes PNG.
Which formats can I crop?
JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF. An iPhone HEIC photo needs converting first: HEIC to JPG
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser, on your device.
Is it free? Is there a watermark?
It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Can I crop on a phone?
Yes: drag the frame and its corners with a finger. The shapes and the download work the same way.
