Crop image

Drag a box over the part of a picture you want to keep, or type its size in pixels, right in your browser.

What it does

Crop image keeps the part of a picture you choose and cuts away the rest: a face from a group photo, a square for a profile picture, or a wide strip for a banner. You set the crop box on the image itself, and the new file is exactly that box.

How to use it

  1. Drop your image on the box, paste it, or select Choose a file. Select “Try a sample” to see an example photo.
  2. Set the crop box. With a mouse, drag the box or one of its handles. On a touch screen, drag the box or a handle; a swipe on the image outside the box scrolls the page.
  3. With the keyboard, press Tab to reach the crop box and use the arrow keys to move it; Shift moves it further. Type an exact size in the fields.
  4. Select the download button, which names the format, such as Download JPG, or press Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on a Mac). Press Esc to stop a save that’s still working.

Limits

You can crop one image at a time, up to 50 MB and 50 megapixels. Adding another image replaces the one there.

Privacy

Your image stays on your device: the tool runs in your browser and doesn’t upload it. The new image is made from the pixels alone, so camera details and location data from the original are always removed. When the site shows ads, Google can use cookies for them: in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google asks for your consent first, and elsewhere Google’s own policies apply. The Privacy page explains how.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop to a square or to 16:9?

Choose Square (1:1) or 16:9 under Aspect ratio. The crop box becomes the largest box of that shape that fits the image, centred, and keeps its shape as you drag a corner. Original keeps the image's own shape, and Free lets you set any width and height.

Can I crop to an exact size in pixels?

Yes. Type the size in Width and Height, and where the box starts in Left and Top, counted in pixels from the image's top-left corner. With a fixed aspect ratio, Height follows Width and Width follows Height. A size that doesn't fit shows how much does, such as "Up to 2,400 px.", and the box stays as it was.

Does cropping change the quality?

The pixels you keep are copied one for one, never stretched or smoothed. A PNG keeps every one of them exactly. JPG and WebP files are saved again at quality 92 out of 100, so most photos look the same at normal viewing size, but the file isn't a byte-for-byte copy of the original.

What format is the cropped image?

The same as yours: a JPG stays JPG, a PNG stays PNG and a WebP stays WebP. GIF and BMP images come out as PNG, and AVIF images as WebP, because browsers can't save those formats. The file is named after yours, such as photo-cropped.jpg.

Is my image uploaded? What happens to location data?

No. Your image is cropped by your browser, on your device, and it isn't uploaded. The new image is made from the pixels alone, so camera details, the date and any GPS location in the original are left out.
