TOOL-SPECIFIC GUIDE

How to use Crop Image

1. Select your input

Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device using the file button or supported drop area. The standard file picker accepts browser-readable images up to 25 MB; decoding support depends on the file and browser.

2. Understand the settings

Set X/Y position and crop width/height in pixels. Ratio controls help keep a square or other common shape.

3. Process and review

Set a ratio if needed, position the selection around the subject, process and check that important edges remain inside the crop.

4. Save your result

Use the result’s Download control after processing. Keep your original separately and inspect the exported copy at its intended display size; the preview alone is not the file you will share.

Supported formats

Input: browser-readable images, normally JPG, PNG and WebP, up to 25 MB. Output controls include the shown Keep, JPG, PNG or WebP choices. Keep preserves a supported source encoding choice, not byte-for-byte original data; animation is not preserved.

When to use this tool

Remove unwanted outer areas and improve the composition. A crop chooses which pixels remain, while resizing changes the size of the chosen view.

What to check in the result

Check faces, text and product edges near the crop boundary. Keep the original if you may need the discarded area later.

Continue with Resize Image when that step fits your workflow.

A practical example

Make a square portrait by moving the crop to keep the face and shoulders visible.

Capabilities and limitations

Cropping discards excluded pixels in the output. Keep an original copy so a later crop can start from the full frame.

Troubleshooting

If the crop excludes the subject, reduce the offsets or enlarge the crop area. Check that the width and height stay within the original bounds.

Processing and privacy

Image pixels are processed on your device. Loading the website and processing assets still uses a network connection, and hosting may receive normal request information. Keep original files backed up.

Questions about Crop Image

What do the X and Y values mean?

They identify the starting position of the crop from the left and top of the source image.

Does cropping stretch the remaining image?

Cropping selects a smaller source region. It does not need to stretch that region to change the composition.
