Drag out a crop box, with optional locked aspect ratios. Free, runs entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded.
How to use Crop Image
Add the image you want to crop.
Drag out the area to keep, or lock an aspect ratio such as square or 16:9 first.
Crop and download the result.
Frequently asked questions
Is the image uploaded?
Nothing is uploaded. The file is read into memory by the page and processed by your own browser, and the site’s Content Security Policy blocks outbound connections entirely — so it cannot send your file anywhere even if it tried.
Can I crop without a mouse?
Yes. Arrow keys move and resize the crop box, and holding Shift moves in larger steps. The handles were focusable but inert until an accessibility audit caught it, which made the tool unusable by keyboard.
How do I get an exact square?
Lock the aspect ratio to 1:1 before dragging, and the box stays square whichever handle you pull.
Does cropping re-compress the photo?
The cropped area is re-encoded, so a JPEG is written out again. The visible difference is negligible for a single crop.
