How to crop an image in a few steps

Cropping an image takes under a minute.

Step 1: Open the tool

Go to Crop. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, no account to create.

Step 2: Add your image

Drag and drop your file, or click to browse. JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF are supported (up to 50 MB), and everything runs locally.

Step 3: Set the crop area

  • Drag handles to define the area you want to keep
  • Use a preset aspect ratio (like 1:1 or 16:9) to lock the shape
  • Move the selection to frame the subject as you like

Step 4: Download the result

Preview the framing, then download the cropped image. Repeat as often as you like.

Tips

  • Lock a preset ratio when the result must fit a specific size
  • Crop generously — you can't bring back parts you cut away
  • Keep the original if you may want a different crop later

What you need to get started

A modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge). The tool accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF up to 50 MB and does everything on your device.

Verdict

Skip installs, accounts, and uploads: open Crop and frame your image in seconds.
