Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop an image online for free?

Simply upload your file to the tool above, select your desired shape (like Square or Circle), and click "Crop Image". The tool handles the calculations automatically and lets you download the result instantly without any watermarks or sign-up requirements.

Can I crop a photo without losing quality?

Yes. Because this tool manipulates the image data locally using the browser's canvas engine, it avoids the heavy compression algorithms often used by server-side scripts. This ensures your cropped image retains maximum clarity and sharpness.

How do I crop an image to a specific size?

This tool focuses on aspect ratios (the shape of the image). To get a specific pixel size (e.g., 500x500), first use this tool to crop the image to the correct shape (like Square), and then use our Image Resizer to scale it to your exact dimensions.

What is the best online image cropper?

The best cropper is one that respects your privacy and works fast. Our tool is rated highly because it does not require uploading sensitive files to a cloud server, works on mobile and desktop, and supports transparent circular cropping for PNGs.

How do I crop a circular or square area from an image?

To crop a circle, check the "Circle" box in the options panel. The tool will automatically detect the center of your image and cut a perfect circle, making the corners transparent (for PNGs). For a square, simply check "Square (1:1)".
