Frequently asked questions
Is this image cropper free?
Yes — completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many images you crop.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser — your images never leave your device and nothing is stored on our servers.
How do I crop an image to a square?
Choose the “Square 1:1” ratio, then drag the selection to frame what you want. The box stays perfectly square as you resize it.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
Yes. Type the width, height, left and top values directly into the boxes beside the preview — dragging over a scaled-down preview can't land on an exact pixel, but typing can. You can also tick “Resize the crop to an exact width” to scale the finished crop to a set size, with the height following the crop's shape so nothing is distorted.
Can I crop a portrait 4:3 instead of landscape?
Yes — pick the ratio you want and use the swap button beside it to flip between landscape and portrait. That works for 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, Passport and A4.
Can I crop a passport-size photo?
Pick the Passport (35:45) ratio to keep the standard proportions, and set an exact output width if you need specific pixels. If you want the full passport workflow — official sizes per country, head-position guides and a printable sheet — use the Passport Photo Maker instead.
What is the rule-of-thirds grid for?
It divides the selection into thirds both ways. Placing your subject along those lines, or where they cross, is a long-standing photographic guideline for a balanced composition. Turn it off with the checkbox if you'd rather not see it.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping keeps the original pixels inside your selection at full resolution. Saving as PNG is lossless; JPG and WebP re-encode the crop, so use the quality slider to keep detail where you need it.
