About the Crop Image
Img Stop Crop Image cuts away the parts of a photo you do not want, so the subject fills the frame. You move and resize a crop box directly on the picture, and the current size is shown in pixels. For exact work you can type the X and Y position and the width and height. The cropped part keeps its full original resolution.
Fixed aspect ratios help when a platform needs a certain shape: 1:1 for profile pictures, 4:5 for Instagram portrait posts, 16:9 for YouTube and presentations, and 9:16 for Stories, Reels and Shorts. Photo print ratios like 3:2, 2:3, 4:3 and 3:4 are also included, plus an option to keep the original ratio.

When to use it
- Crop a group photo into a square 1:1 profile picture.
- Cut a landscape picture to 4:5 so it fills the Instagram feed.
- Make a 16:9 thumbnail or slide image from a wider or taller photo.
- Remove unwanted edges, people or objects from the side of a picture.
- Cut one area out of a screenshot to share only the important part.
Tips for the best result
- Crop first, then resize. Cropping keeps the original pixels, and resizing after gives you the exact final size.
- For portraits, leave a little space above the head; tight crops at the top look cramped.
- Choose PNG output when cropping screenshots or graphics so text stays perfectly sharp.
Frequently asked questions
How do I crop a photo into a perfect square?
Select the 1:1 aspect ratio. The crop box becomes square and stays square while you drag its corners. Move it over the part you want and click Crop image. The width and height shown under the box will always be equal.
What ratio should I use for Instagram?
Use 1:1 for square posts and 4:5 for portrait posts, which take up more space in the feed. For Stories and Reels use 9:16. After cropping, you can use the Social Media Resizer if you also need the exact pixel size.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
Yes. Choose Free and type the width (W) and height (H) in pixels, plus the X and Y position of the top-left corner. The box updates as you type. This is useful when a website asks for an exact area like 800×400 pixels.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping only removes pixels outside the box; the pixels you keep are not changed. The file is saved again, so set Quality high, around 90%, or choose PNG for a lossless result.
Can I crop more than one image at a time?
This tool crops one image at a time because each photo needs its own crop area. Click Change image to load the next one. If you need the same shape for many images, the Resize Image tool with Crop to fill can do it in bulk.
