Crop an image online, free

Cut a photo down to the part that matters, at a free-form size or a fixed ratio such as 1:1 for profile pictures or 16:9 for thumbnails. You can straighten a tilted horizon in the same step.

Crop an image No sign-up. Files never leave your device.

How to crop an image

  1. Click Crop an image and open your photo with File › Open or by dropping it on the canvas. The Crop tool is already selected.
  2. In the options bar choose a ratio (1:1, 4:5, 16:9…) or leave it on Ratio blank to crop freely.
  3. Drag the handles to frame your shot. Drag outside the box to rotate and straighten.
  4. Press Enter to apply, then save with File › Export As.

Tips

  • Turn off Delete Cropped Pixels to keep the hidden area so you can re-crop later.
  • Hold Shift while dragging a corner to keep the current proportions.

Questions

How do I crop to a circle?

Use the Elliptical Marquee tool with Shift held to draw a circle, then Image › Crop and add a layer mask from the selection. Export as PNG to keep the corners transparent.

Can I crop a PSD without flattening it?

Yes. Cropping keeps every layer, and you can save back to PSD.
