Is the crop pixel-accurate?

Yes. The on-screen box is scaled back to the image's full resolution, so the output matches your selection exactly, down to the pixel.

Does cropping reduce quality?

No. The kept pixels are copied through without resizing or recompression, and the PNG output is lossless, so they stay identical to the source.

What format is the output?

PNG, regardless of the input format. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, so nothing inside the crop is degraded.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes. PNG has an alpha channel, so transparent areas of a PNG or other transparent source stay transparent in the crop.

What happens to EXIF and other metadata?

It is dropped. The crop is re-encoded from the raw pixels, so camera data, GPS tags, and color-profile information do not carry into the PNG.

What can I do with the aspect ratio?

Leave it on Free to drag any shape, or pick a fixed ratio to lock the box so it keeps those proportions as you move and resize it.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is read, cropped, and encoded in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and there is no sign-up or watermark.

Which formats can I open?

Any image your browser can decode, including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF. Whatever you open, the cropped output is saved as a PNG.

Crop Image

Drag a box around the part you want and throw away the rest.

What this does

Crop Image cuts a rectangle out of your picture and discards everything outside it. You drag the box over the part you want; the on-screen selection maps back to the image's native resolution, so the pixels inside your box are copied through unchanged with no scaling or resampling.

The result is encoded as a PNG. PNG is lossless, so the kept pixels stay bit-exact and any transparency carries over. The original file's EXIF metadata is not copied into the output.

How it works

1Drop your image.
2Drag the box to move it, drag a corner to resize. Pick an aspect ratio to lock the shape.
3Download the cropped image.
