Cropping removes part of an image. It is useful when the original composition contains unnecessary space or when a destination requires a fixed aspect ratio such as a square thumbnail.

Before you start

Cropping changes composition, not just file size. If the subject must stay in frame, keep the original and choose a crop that leaves enough space around important details.

Cropping solves a different problem from resizing

If you resize a wide image into a square, the whole image may become distorted. Cropping preserves proportions by removing areas outside the chosen frame.

Aspect ratio matters

The relationship between width and height determines the shape of the result. Square images use equal dimensions, while common landscape layouts are wider than they are tall.

Where cropping is useful

Product cards, profile images, article thumbnails and social graphics often benefit from predictable framing. Decide what must remain visible before choosing the crop.

Centered crop limitations

This lightweight tool creates a centered crop. If the subject is near an edge, a dedicated visual crop editor with a movable frame may give better control.

Keep the source

Cropping should create a new derivative. Keep the original so you can make another composition later without losing the source information.

Frequently asked questions

Can I create a square image?

Yes. Enter the same width and height.

Can I move the crop area?

This simple version uses a centered crop.

Does cropping modify my original?

No.

Keep your original file.

Image processing creates a derivative. Retaining the original makes it easier to create another size, crop or format later.
