Key takeaways
- Crop Image lets you drag a selection box over a photo and keep just that part.
- Common uses: profile pictures, trimming a scanned document's edges, or removing distracting background from a photo.
- The crop happens in your browser — no upload, no app install.
Cropping a photo
Open Crop Image, drop in your photo, drag the selection box to the area you want to keep, and download.
Frequently asked questions
Can I crop to an exact aspect ratio, like square for a profile picture?
Check the aspect ratio option if the tool offers preset ratios — otherwise, drag the selection box to the proportions you need manually.
Does cropping reduce the file size?
Usually yes, since a cropped image has fewer total pixels than the original — if you need it smaller still, run it through [Compress Image](/compress-image) afterward.
