Crop, rotate and flip images
Open an image and drag the frame to keep just the part you want. Lock a ratio such as square or 35 × 45 mm, rotate sideways photos and flip mirror-image selfies. Then download it, or resize and compress it in the same step.

How to crop an image
- Add the image. The crop window opens automatically. For a batch, each image has its own Crop & rotate button.
- Choose a ratio (or Free) and drag the frame or its handles. With the keyboard: focus the frame, then use the arrow keys to move it and Alt + arrow keys to resize it.
- Rotate or flip if needed. Rotation is in 90° steps, which keeps every pixel sharp.
- Apply, then set the output format, size or KB limit in the panel and download.
Aspect ratios and where they are used
Aspect ratios| Ratio | Typical use |
|---|
| 1:1 square | Profile pictures, product photos on marketplaces, many ID-photo uploads |
| 4:3 and 3:4 | Most phone and compact camera photos |
| 3:2 | DSLR and mirrorless camera photos, 6×4 inch prints |
| 16:9 and 9:16 | Video thumbnails, slides and wallpapers; phone stories and reels |
| 35 × 45 mm | Printed UK passport photos (GOV.UK); also the shape of the 630 × 810 px Indian passport photo given by an Indian consulate |
| 2 × 2 in (square) | US visa photos: 2 × 2 in prints, 600 × 600 to 1200 × 1200 px digital (U.S. Department of State) |
Official sources read on 21 October 2026. Requirements change; check the form you are filling in.
A ratio only fixes the shape. To also get exact pixels, enter the width and height under Dimensions after cropping; for official photos, check the exact pixel and file size requirements of the form you are filling in.
Cropping is lossless until you save
Changing the frame does not touch your original file, and the crop is applied to the full-resolution image, not to the preview. Only the final step encodes a new file. Choose PNG under Output format if you want to avoid any further compression.
Questions and answers
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. Cropping only removes pixels at the edges; the pixels you keep are unchanged. The new file is encoded once at the quality you choose, or losslessly as PNG.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
Crop with the ratio you need, then enter the width and height under Dimensions. For example crop 1:1, then set 600 × 600 pixels.
How do I straighten a sideways photo?
Use the rotate buttons in the crop window. Photos that only look sideways in some apps are usually fixed automatically, because the orientation saved by the camera is applied before processing.
Can I crop several images the same way?
Each image has its own crop, because the subject is rarely in the same place. For identical framing, use Dimensions with “Fill exactly (crop the edges)”, which crops every image to the same centred shape.
Is there a limit on file size or number of images?
There is no upload limit because there is no upload. The practical limit is your device’s memory: images up to 100 megapixels (and 16,384 pixels per side) are accepted. Large batches are processed a few at a time.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The images are read and compressed by code running in this browser tab, and the results are created in your device’s memory. Nothing is sent anywhere, which you can confirm in your browser’s developer tools (Network tab) while you work. See Privacy.
