Crop a Photo Online
Crop a photo with exact coordinates and dimensions, then preview and download JPG, PNG, or WebP locally.
Crop a picture to exact dimensions
Set the starting X and Y coordinates, then enter the crop width and height. The preview shows the rectangular area that will be exported. Use equal width and height for a square image, and keep the crop inside the source dimensions.
This tool creates rectangular crops. For a circular profile photo with transparent corners, use the Circle Crop Tool. For pixel dimensions without removing part of the picture, use the Image Resizer. Photoshop, Word, and freeform selection instructions are outside this browser tool's workflow.
How to Use Free Image Cropper
Free Image Cropper helps frame real photos, screenshots, and graphics for the aspect ratio or subject area you need.
- Load the actual image so faces, labels, shadows, and important edges are visible while choosing the crop.
- Set the crop box around the subject and target aspect ratio instead of trimming randomly from the edges.
- Crop once, preview the result, and adjust if the subject feels cramped or off-center.
- Tight crops can remove shadows, hands, labels, or context that makes the image understandable.
- Name the cropped image for its placement, such as profile, banner, thumbnail, or product-card.
Things to Check
- Tight crops can remove shadows, labels, or hands.
- Huge photos can use extra canvas memory while cropping; downsize very large images before editing on mobile.
- Check the crop inside the layout, social preview, or upload slot that will display it.

Rectangular, circle, freehand, AI, and batch cropping
This page makes one rectangular crop from one local image and exports JPG, PNG, or WebP. Use Round/Circle Crop Image for a circular PNG avatar.
ToolZone does not currently provide freehand masks, arbitrary shape paths, automatic AI subject framing, Photoshop editing, HTML/CSS object-position code, or batch folder cropping. Choose a crop that preserves the subject and verify the exported dimensions before replacing the original.
CSS image cropping with object-fit
CSS cropping uses object-fit: cover with fixed dimensions to crop an image to a specific aspect ratio. Set width and height on the img tag, apply object-fit: cover, and use object-position to control which part of the image stays visible. This works for thumbnails, profile pictures, and card images.
For circular crops, combine object-fit: cover with border-radius: 50%. For freeform crops, use the Image Cropper tool above to select the exact region, then download the cropped PNG or JPG. CSS cropping is visual only — it does not reduce file size. Use the Image Resizer for dimension changes that affect the actual file.
