FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the Image Cropper.

What does the Image Cropper do?

It lets you draw a draggable, resizable selection box over a photo, optionally locked to a fixed aspect ratio, and download just that selected area as a new image.

Is the Image Cropper free to use?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it.

Is my image safe when I use this tool?

Yes. The photo is cropped entirely on your own device using your browser's built-in Canvas API — nothing is uploaded to a server.

Can I crop to an exact aspect ratio like 1:1 or 16:9?

Yes. Choose a ratio from the "Aspect ratio" dropdown before drawing your crop box, and it will be constrained to that shape as you drag and resize it.

Can I move or resize the crop box after drawing it?

Yes. Drag inside the box to move it without changing its size, or drag one of its corner or edge handles to resize it.

Does cropping reduce my image's quality?

No. Cropping just selects a rectangular region of the original pixels — it doesn't recompress or resample anything outside of that selection.

Can I use the Image Cropper on my phone?

Yes. Touch dragging works the same as mouse dragging for drawing, moving and resizing the crop box.

Does the Image Cropper have any limitations?

It crops a single image at a time to a single rectangular selection; it doesn't support non-rectangular or multi-region crops.
