How to use

  1. Drop an image or click browse.
  2. Optionally rotate (±90°, 180°) or flip (horizontal / vertical) first — these apply immediately and update the crop overlay.
  3. Enter crop X / Y / Width / Height in pixels. Lock an aspect ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, etc.) if you want width and height to stay proportional.
  4. Pick an output format (PNG / JPG / WebP), click Apply, then Download.

What does it do?

Crop cuts a rectangle from the source image; rotate turns it by 90° or 180° without interpolation; flip mirrors it horizontally or vertically. All three are pixel-exact — nothing is blurred or resampled until the final encode step. Output format is independent of input: you can crop a JPG and save as PNG, or vice versa.

Example

Input:  4000 × 3000 JPG landscape, 2.8 MB
Action: rotate 90° clockwise, crop to 1:1 at x=0 y=500 w=3000 h=3000
Output: 3000 × 3000 JPG, quality 92 → ~520 KB

Common cropping pitfalls

  • Aspect ratio locked to the wrong number. If you want a 9:16 reel thumbnail but the dropdown says 16:9, the result is landscape instead of portrait. Check the ratio dropdown before typing width / height.
  • Crop region exceeds the image. Asking for a 3000-px wide crop from a 2400-px wide source gets clamped to the source edge. If the preview box is shorter than expected, your crop went out of bounds.
  • Rotate after crop instead of before. If you crop to a tight rectangle and then rotate 90°, the rectangle is now sideways. Rotate and flip first — that's why the buttons are grouped above the crop fields.
  • Saved as PNG when you wanted a small file. PNG on a photo crop stays large. Switch Format to JPG or WebP for photos; keep PNG for screenshots, text, or images with transparency.
  • Forgot to click Apply. Changing the crop inputs updates the overlay, but Download sends the last applied result. Hit Apply after every change you want to persist.
  • Cropping an EXIF-rotated phone photo. Some phones store photos physically landscape but with a rotation flag. This tool respects the flag, but if another app in your pipeline does not, the crop coordinates may shift.

Is my data private?

Yes. We don't save the image you drop here, or the cropped result you download. Nothing is stored, logged, or retained — everything is discarded as soon as you close or refresh the tab. There's no record on our side of what you cropped, rotated, or flipped. Feel free to verify in your browser's developer tools.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my crop X / Y / Width / Height numbers in pixels, not percent?

Pixels are unambiguous and match what image editors use. If you know the source is 4000 × 3000, a crop of x=500, y=300, w=3000, h=2250 is exact and reproducible. Percent-based crops drift when the image is rotated or re-sized first.

Does rotating or flipping reduce image quality?

90° and 180° rotations and horizontal / vertical flips are lossless pixel shuffles — no interpolation, no quality loss. The final crop step re-encodes to your chosen format (PNG is lossless, JPG / WebP depend on quality setting).

What aspect ratios does the tool support?

Free (any W × H), 1:1 (square), 4:3 and 3:4 (standard photo), and 16:9 and 9:16 (widescreen / vertical video). Locking an aspect ratio auto-updates the height when you change width, so the crop region cannot go out of ratio.

Which formats can I export to?

Output can be PNG, JPG, or WebP regardless of the input format. PNG is lossless and best for screenshots or graphics with flat color. JPG and WebP are lossy and produce much smaller files for photos. WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than equivalent JPG.

Can I crop a very large photo?

Yes up to browser memory. The source is decoded with createImageBitmap and drawn to a canvas. Photos over ~100 megapixels may fail to decode on low-memory phones. If that happens, resize the source first and then crop.

Do you save the images I crop here?

No. We don't save the image you drop in, and we don't keep the cropped version you download either. Everything is discarded the moment you close or refresh the tab — no logs, no record on our side of what you cropped. If you want extra reassurance, your browser's developer tools will confirm.
