Crop image
Crop a photo to any aspect ratio with a draggable selection — free, browser-only, no upload.
About the Crop image
Handytool's image cropper trims a photo down to exactly the area you want — square for social, 16:9 for video, or any free shape — with a draggable selection box. The whole tool runs in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device. Choose an aspect ratio, position the selection, and download the result as PNG, JPG, WebP, or AVIF.
Crop image features
- 01
Drag to position, drag corners to resize
An interactive selection box sits on top of your image. Move it to reframe, drag a corner to resize, or pick an aspect-ratio preset to lock the proportions.
- 02
Common aspect-ratio presets
Free, square (1:1), 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, and 9:16 cover social posts, prints, video thumbnails, stories, and reels. Switch presets at any time without losing your image.
- 03
Choose the output format
Keep the original format or convert the cropped result to PNG, JPG, WebP, or AVIF in the same step.
Crop image FAQ
- How do I crop an image online?
- Drop or pick an image, choose an aspect ratio (or 'Free' for any shape), drag the selection box to position it, then click Crop. The cropped image appears below ready to download.
- Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?
- Yes. Pick from 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, or 9:16 and the selection will stay locked to that ratio while you drag and resize. 'Free' lets you draw any shape you want.
- Does cropping change the image quality?
- No. Cropping just removes pixels outside the selection — the remaining area is saved at its original resolution. Quality only changes if you pick a lossy output format like JPG, WebP, or AVIF.
- What formats are supported?
- JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and HEIC/HEIF. Output can be PNG, JPG, WebP, or AVIF.
- Is my image uploaded?
- No. The cropper runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is never sent to a server.
