How to crop an image

1
Drop your JPEG, PNG or WebP files onto the box above, or pick them from disk. Nothing uploads.
2
Drag the box over the part you want to keep — move it, pull the handles, or drag anywhere on the image to start a fresh selection.
3
Lock it to a ratio if you need one, or type exact width, height and position values in pixels.
4
Press Crop, then download the files individually or all at once as a zip. Close the tab and every trace is gone.

Questions

Is cropping an image here really private?
Yes. The crop runs on your device using the browser's own image codecs — the file is never sent over the network.
Can I choose exactly which part of the image to keep?
Yes. Drag the selection box anywhere on the image, pull any of its eight handles to resize it, or drag on a blank part of the image to draw a new area from scratch. If you need an exact result, type the width, height and position straight into the pixel fields instead — they're measured against the full-size image, not the preview, so what you type is what you get.
Can I lock the crop to a fixed ratio?
Yes. Pick Square, Portrait, Widescreen or Original and the selection reshapes immediately, then stays locked to that ratio while you drag it or type into the pixel fields. Free is the default, so nothing constrains you unless you ask for it.
What happens if I drop several images at once?
You crop one of them on screen and the same selection is applied to every image in proportion to its own size — so a set of photos with different dimensions all keep the same framing rather than the same pixel box. Use the arrows under the preview to check the selection against each image before you crop. If your images need genuinely different crops, run them one at a time.
Does cropping reduce the quality of the rest of the image?
The pixels you keep aren't resampled or scaled, so they're unchanged. JPEG and WebP are lossy formats, so saving the result re-encodes it once at high quality; PNG is lossless and comes out pixel-identical inside the crop.
Is there a file size limit?
100 MB per file, and 30 files per batch, limited by your device's memory rather than a paid tier.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no usage cap. Nothing about your files is logged.

About cropping images

Cropping is the one image edit that never degrades what it keeps: you're selecting a rectangular window of the existing pixel grid and discarding everything outside it, so the pixels inside the selection are copied across untouched. That's why the fields here are given in real pixels of the source image rather than percentages — a 1200 × 1200 crop is exactly 1200 × 1200 pixels of the original, whatever size the preview happens to be on your screen.
Locking a ratio simply constrains that rectangle: a 1:1 lock keeps width and height equal as you drag, and because the constraint is applied in pixels rather than in fractions of the frame, a square really is square even on a very wide or very tall photo. This runs entirely in the codecs already built into your browser, so the crop happens in memory with no upload step and no server-side queue. Your file is never uploaded, never queued on a server, and never deleted from one — because it was never there.
