About the Crop Image
Cropping removes unwanted edges, people or background and helps you focus on what matters. It is also the easiest way to turn a photo into a square profile picture or a wide banner.
Our free Crop Image tool gives you a simple drag-and-resize box with popular presets — square 1:1 for profile photos, 16:9 for YouTube and presentations, 9:16 for stories and reels, and more. Your photo is processed locally and never uploaded.

- Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
