How do I crop an image to a specific size?

Upload your image, then select a preset aspect ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, etc.) or use free-form cropping to select any custom size. The crop box can be resized by dragging the corners or edges.

Can I crop a photo into a circle?

Yes! Select the 1:1 aspect ratio to create a square crop, which is perfect for circular profile pictures. Export as PNG to preserve transparency if needed.

Does cropping reduce image quality?

No. Our tool crops without recompressing your image, so you keep the original quality. You can export at 100% quality with no compression artifacts.

Tips for Better Crops

1. Rule of thirds - Position important elements along the grid lines
2. Leave breathing room - Don't crop too tight around faces
