What is Crop Image

Last reviewed: April 18, 2026

Cropping extracts a rectangular portion of an image and discards the rest. It is the most common image edit — every avatar, social post, and hero image starts with a crop.

Crop Image lets you type exact X/Y/Width/Height in pixels or pick a 1:1, 4:3, or 16:9 preset that auto-centers the crop box.

Why use it

Produce an exact 1:1 avatar or 16:9 social banner without opening an image editor.
Trim screenshots down to the relevant area for a bug report.
Prepare a thumbnail with exact pixel precision — no dragging required.
All processing is in-browser; files stay private.

Common errors

Crop box outside the image

Entering X/Y values that exceed the image bounds yields an empty output.

Fix: Coordinates are clamped automatically, but keep values below the image width/height for predictable results.

Aspect ratio buttons do nothing on narrow images

16:9 requires enough width; a narrow image cannot satisfy the ratio.

Fix: Try the 1:1 preset first, or type the crop rectangle manually.

FAQ

Can I crop non-standard ratios?

Yes — type any X/Y/Width/Height in pixels and the crop box follows.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Cropping runs locally via the Canvas API.

Do aspect ratio presets auto-center?

Yes. 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9 presets pick the largest centered rectangle that fits.

Does it preserve transparency?

Yes when you export as PNG. JPG flattens transparency to white.
