Why it is different
Why this image cropper is better
Many online croppers need an upload or an account, or only offer a free-hand box. This one gives you precise control and keeps your photos on your device.
Ratios for every platform
One click sets 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, 4:3, 2:3 or 3:1, so posts, stories, thumbnails and banners fit first time.
Circle crop
Crop into a perfect circle for profile pictures and logos, saved as a PNG with transparent corners.
Exact pixel control
Type the X, Y, width and height in pixels, or drag the handles. Both stay in sync as you work.
Rotate and flip
Fix sideways photos and mirror selfies before cropping, all in the same place.
Full-quality export
Save as JPG, PNG or WebP at full resolution, or resize the crop to a set width in the same step.

Ratios
Which aspect ratio should you crop to?
Match the ratio to where the image will appear, so the platform does not crop it for you.
| Ratio | Common size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | 1080 × 1080 px | Instagram and Facebook posts, profile pictures, product photos |
| 4:5 | 1080 × 1350 px | Instagram portrait posts that fill more of the feed |
| 16:9 | 1920 × 1080 px | YouTube thumbnails, presentations, desktop wallpapers |
| 9:16 | 1080 × 1920 px | Stories, Reels, Shorts and phone wallpapers |
| 3:2 | 1800 × 1200 px | Standard camera photos and 6 × 4 inch prints |
| 4:3 | 1600 × 1200 px | Phone camera photos, tablets and slides |
| 3:1 | 1500 × 500 px | X (Twitter) headers and website banners |

Tips
Tips for better crops
- Follow the grid. Place eyes or the horizon on a third line for a balanced photo.
- Leave some space. Do not crop right up to the edge of a face or object.
- Check the size. Cropping removes pixels, so start with the largest photo you have.
- Keep the original. Your file is never changed, so you can always crop again.
