The tool cuts the photo down to the box and saves only those pixels, at full quality, in the same format as before (HEIC becomes JPG). The box is stored as a share of the width and height, so the same crop can be used on every image in a batch, and a fixed shape is kept exact even when the photos differ in size.

Cropping is the quickest way to improve a photo: it removes clutter at the edges and puts the subject where the eye lands first. It also fixes shape problems, because many sites show only a square or a tall rectangle and cut off whatever does not fit. Crop Image lets you decide which part stays instead of leaving it to the site.

Start with the shape the destination uses. Square suits most profile pictures, 4:5 fills a phone feed, 9:16 fits a story and 16:9 matches video thumbnails and slides. Free lets you draw any rectangle; if you never move it, the tool trims a tenth from each edge, which is what the preview shows. Most browsers cannot preview HEIC photos, so for those pick a shape and the centre is kept.

A crop changes the shape, not the number of pixels in the part you keep. To hit an exact size such as 1080 × 1080 after cropping, run the result through Resize Image. A sideways photo should be turned first with Rotate Image, and Compress Image to KB brings a crop under a form limit. For PDF pages rather than pictures, Crop PDF trims margins.

All of this happens in your browser. The photo is read and cut on your device and never leaves it. The tool is free for personal use, takes up to 20 images in one task and needs no account.
