Crop a photo online
Cropping is the quickest way to fix a picture: cut off the empty space around a document, straighten up a screenshot, or turn a wide photo into the square a profile picture needs. This cropper works entirely in your browser, so a photo of your ID or a private screenshot never gets uploaded anywhere.
Fixed ratios
1:1 is the square used by profile pictures and most marketplace listings. 4:3 matches the classic photo shape and most printed sizes. 16:9 is the widescreen banner and video thumbnail shape. Choose Free when nothing is fixed and you just want to cut away what you do not need.
Full quality out
The selection you drag is scaled back to the picture’s real pixels before cropping, so the result is saved at original resolution — not at the size of the preview on screen. If the cropped picture then needs to be a particular size, run it through Resize Image afterwards.
