Image Cropper — Free Aspect Ratio Crop
Crop any image to a target aspect ratio or freeform selection. Drag to reposition, resize from any edge or corner, and use the rule-of-thirds grid to frame your shot — export as PNG.
How to crop an image to a specific aspect ratio
- Drop your image. Drag and drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, or GIF into the canvas.
- Pick an aspect preset. Choose Free (any ratio), 1:1 (square), 4:3, 16:9 (video/widescreen), 3:2, or 2:3 (portrait).
- Drag to position. Move the crop box over the focal area using the rule-of-thirds grid as a guide. Drag any corner or edge handle to resize.
- Download. Click Download to save the cropped image. Original is untouched.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. Cropping runs in your browser via canvas. Files never leave your device.
What is the rule-of-thirds grid for?
It overlays two horizontal and two vertical guide lines dividing the crop area into thirds — a classic composition aid for placing the subject off-center.
What aspect ratios are available?
Free (any ratio), 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2, and 2:3 — pick the preset that matches where the image is going, or use Free for a custom crop.
Does it preserve quality?
Yes. Cropping is non-destructive. Output uses the same pixel data as the input region, re-encoded as PNG.
Can I crop multiple at once?
Single image at a time for accurate framing. For batch crops to a fixed center area, use the Image Resizer tool.
What formats does it support?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and GIF as input; output is always a PNG.
