Aspect Ratio Presets
- Free — Draw any rectangle without constraints
- 1:1 — Perfect square, ideal for profile photos and Instagram posts
- 16:9 — Widescreen, great for YouTube thumbnails and presentations
- 4:3 — Traditional photo ratio, common in digital cameras
- 3:2 — Classic 35mm film ratio
- 9:16 — Vertical video format for Stories and Reels
How It Works
Select an aspect ratio preset, then click and drag on the image to define your crop area. The rule-of-thirds grid overlay helps with composition. Click "Crop" to extract the selected region.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I crop to a specific pixel size?
The cropper lets you define the crop area visually. For exact pixel dimensions, use the Image Resizer tool after cropping to set precise width and height.
What aspect ratio should I use for social media?
Use 1:1 for Instagram feed posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails, 9:16 for Stories and Reels, and 4:3 for Facebook posts.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping extracts pixels from the original image at full resolution. The output quality is identical to the original within the selected region.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All cropping happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
