How to use this tool

  1. Select JPG, PNG or static WebP images.
  2. Drag the region, enter pixel dimensions or use arrow keys to adjust it.
  3. Review the result and download it before clearing the workspace.

When this tool helps

Crop when you need to remove empty margins or focus on one part of an image. Cropping keeps a selected region; resizing changes the dimensions of the whole image.

Choose the right settings

Position and size
Left and top locate the region in original-image pixels. Width and height define the kept area. Check all four values before downloading a precise crop.
Touch and keyboard
Move the selection in the preview and resize it with its corner controls. Arrow keys move the region; Shift increases the movement. Choose PNG or WebP when transparency matters.

A practical example

Keep the center of the illustration

  1. Use the 480 × 300 example image.
  2. Set left to 80, top to 40, width to 320 and height to 220 pixels.
  3. Choose PNG and crop. Compare the margins and the position of the book.

The actual output below is 320 × 220 pixels. It preserves the selected part without stretching the book. Keep the source if you may need another region later.

These examples use our own test illustration. The checkerboard shows transparent areas; it is not part of the image.

Common mistakes

Cutting too close to the subject
Leave room around a product or face, especially when the image will be used with text or in a layout.
Choosing the wrong output format
JPG cannot keep transparent areas. Choose PNG or WebP when the cropped image needs transparency.

Tool limits

One image up to 10 MiB and 20 million pixels. Static JPG, PNG and WebP only.

Frequently asked questions

Are crop dimensions measured on the preview?

Coordinates and sizes refer to the original oriented image, even when the preview is smaller. Arrow keys move the region; Shift makes larger steps.
