An image cropper — drag to select the area you want, then crop and download. Everything runs in your browser.

How cropping works here

The image is displayed at a scale that fits your screen, but the crop is calculated against the image's real pixel dimensions — so a selection made on a shrunk-down preview still produces a full-resolution crop, not a blurry downscaled one.

Tips for a clean crop

Drag from any corner of your intended selection; you can redraw the box as many times as you like before cropping. The output format matches your source image (PNG stays PNG, JPG stays JPG) so transparency is preserved where applicable.

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping reduce image quality?

No — the crop is taken directly from the original full-resolution pixels, not from the shrunk preview you see on screen. Only the dimensions change; nothing is recompressed unless the output format is lossy (like JPG).

Can I crop to an exact pixel size?

This tool uses freeform drag selection rather than fixed dimensions. For exact output dimensions, crop roughly here first, then use the Image Resizer to set a precise size.

Is my image uploaded when I use this tool?

No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — nothing is sent to a server.
