Image Cropper

Crop images to any size or aspect ratio right in your browser.

ToolsSoup's Image Cropper is a free online tool that crops photos and pictures to any size or aspect ratio right in your browser. Drag a selection over your image or type exact pixel coordinates, then download the cropped result in seconds — with no uploads, no watermarks, and no sign-up. Your images never leave your device.

What is an image cropper?

An image cropper trims away the parts of a picture you do not want, keeping only the rectangular area you select. People crop images to remove distracting backgrounds, straighten compositions, focus on a subject, or fit a photo to a required shape such as a square profile picture or a 16:9 banner. This tool redraws only the region you choose onto a fresh canvas and lets you download it as a new file.

How to crop an image online

Cropping an image with ToolsSoup takes just a few seconds:

  1. Click Choose an image and select the photo you want to crop.
  2. Drag across the preview to draw a crop area, or type exact Left, Top, Width, and Height values.
  3. Optionally pick an aspect ratio like 1:1 or 16:9 to lock the shape of your selection.
  4. Choose an output format (PNG, JPEG, or WebP), click Crop image, and download the result.

How to crop an image to a specific aspect ratio

An aspect ratio is the relationship between the width and height of your crop. Pick a preset such as 1:1 for a perfect square, 4:3 for a classic photo, or 16:9 for a widescreen banner, and the tool keeps your selection locked to that shape as you resize it. Choose Free to crop to any custom dimensions, or type exact pixel values into the Width and Height fields for full control.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image cropper free?

Yes. Every tool on ToolsSoup is completely free to use, with no account, sign-up, watermarks, or hidden limits.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All cropping happens locally in your browser using the HTML canvas, so your images are never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone but you.

Will cropping reduce the quality of my image?

Cropping keeps the original pixels inside the area you select, so the kept region stays exactly as sharp as the source. Exporting as JPEG or WebP applies normal compression, while PNG keeps the cropped region lossless.

How do I crop an image to a square?

Set the aspect ratio to 1:1 and draw or size your selection — the tool keeps the width and height equal so the result is a perfect square, ideal for profile pictures and avatars.

What image formats are supported?

You can load common formats such as JPG, PNG, and WebP, and export the cropped result as PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
