Why Use Crop Image Online?
Auto-Zoom to Crop Area
After you position your crop selection, the tool automatically zooms into the cropped region so you can inspect every pixel before downloading. No more guessing whether that LinkedIn banner at 1584x396 looks sharp enough.
Touch-Friendly Mobile Controls
Drag, pinch, and resize your crop area on any phone or tablet. Corner handles are sized for fingertips, not just mouse cursors, so cropping a quick Instagram Story at 1080x1920 from your phone is painless.
Transparent Backgrounds for Circles
Circle and ellipse crops export as PNG with a fully transparent background. Upload a circle-cropped headshot to Slack, Discord, or Google Workspace and the platform fills the rest seamlessly.
Platform-Specific Aspect Ratios
Presets for every platform you manage: 1:1 for Instagram posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails, 3:1 for Twitter/X headers, 2.7:1 for Facebook covers. Skip the mental math and crop to spec.
Adjustable Border Radius
Not everything needs a hard circle or sharp rectangle. Dial the corner radius anywhere from 0 to fully rounded. Perfect for iOS-style app icon previews or cards with soft corners.
100% Client-Side Privacy
Your images never leave your browser. No server upload, no temporary storage, no third-party processing. Close the tab and every trace is gone. Critical when cropping ID documents or confidential headshots.
Who Uses This
Profile Pictures Across Platforms
Circle crop a headshot once and use it everywhere: LinkedIn (400x400), Instagram (320x320 display, upload 1080x1080), Twitter/X (400x400), Facebook (170x170 display), Slack (512x512), and Discord (128x128 minimum). Crop to 1080x1080 square and each platform scales it down.
Social Media Content Creation
Crop landscape photos into 1080x1080 squares for Instagram feed posts, 1080x1920 vertical frames for Stories and Reels, 1200x630 for Facebook shared links, and 1600x900 for Twitter/X post images. Manage ten accounts with different specs without opening Photoshop.
Website Banners and Hero Images
Crop hero images to common website banner ratios: 16:9 for full-width heros, 3:1 for slim headers, 21:9 for ultra-wide layouts. E-commerce product images typically need 1:1 squares at 1000x1000 or 2000x2000 for zoom functionality.
Documents, IDs & Print Materials
Crop passport photos to 600x600 (2x2 inches at 300 DPI), employee badges to 300x375, or product catalog images to 4:3. For print flyers, crop at a resolution that gives you at least 300 pixels per inch at your final print size.
How It Works
Drop Your Image
Drag and drop any image onto the upload area or tap to browse your files. Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG up to any file size.
Choose Shape, Ratio & Position
Pick circle, square, rectangle, or ellipse. Select an aspect ratio preset or go freeform. Drag the crop box to position it, pull corner handles to resize, and watch the auto-zoom preview update in real time.
Crop & Download as PNG
Hit the Crop button. Your cropped image downloads instantly as a high-quality PNG. Circle and ellipse crops include a transparent background automatically.
Platform-Specific Tips
One Crop Fits All Profiles
Crop your headshot to 1080x1080 at 1:1 ratio. This single image works for Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, and Slack profiles since every platform downscales from a square source.
YouTube Thumbnail Framing
Use the 16:9 preset for YouTube thumbnails (1280x720). Position faces in the right two-thirds of the frame since YouTube overlays the video duration badge on the bottom-right corner.
Twitter/X Header Safe Zone
When cropping a 1500x500 Twitter/X header, keep key content away from the bottom-left (profile picture overlap) and outer 60 pixels top and bottom (mobile crop zone).
Print-Ready Cropping
For 300 DPI print quality, multiply your desired print size in inches by 300 to get required pixels. A 5x7 inch print needs a 1500x2100 pixel crop area minimum.
