Move eight handles visually or enter X, Y, width, and height values for pixel-level control.
Keep exactlywhat matters.
Draw a precise crop with your mouse, trackpad, keyboard, or touchscreen. Use a free selection or common aspect ratio, rotate or flip the result, then export PNG, JPG, or WebP without uploading the source.

Drag inside the frame to move it. Drag a corner or edge handle to resize. Arrow keys move by 1 px; Shift + arrow moves by 10 px.
Cropped result
Correct orientation with quarter turns and mirror the final crop horizontally or vertically.
Decoding, preview, cropping, encoding, and download all happen on your current device.
Frame the subject once, then export for the exact placement
Cropping changes composition rather than image quality. Decide where the image will appear, choose a matching aspect ratio, and leave enough space around faces, products, text, or logos before exporting.
Step by step
- Inspect the full source
Check the image orientation and identify details that must stay visible. If a platform will overlay buttons or captions, reserve safe space for them.
- Choose free or fixed ratio
Free crop is useful for cleanup. Fixed ratios such as 1:1, 16:9, 4:5, and 9:16 prevent surprises in profile, video, feed, and story placements.
- Fine-tune the selection
Drag the eight handles, enter exact X, Y, width, and height values, or use the arrow keys for one-pixel adjustments.
- Export and verify
Choose PNG for transparency, JPG for photos, or WebP for a smaller modern file. Open the result at its intended display size before publishing it.
Decision guide
- Free crop
- Best when removing unwanted edges or creating a custom composition.
- 1:1 square
- Common for avatars, product tiles, and balanced social posts.
- 16:9 or 9:16
- Use landscape for presentations and video covers; use portrait for stories and short-form video covers.
- PNG, JPG, WebP
- Match the format to transparency, compatibility, and file-size needs rather than exporting every crop the same way.
Important limits
- Cropping removes pixels outside the selection and cannot add detail to a small source.
- HEIC support depends on the browser and operating system; convert the source first if it cannot be decoded.
- Very small selections can look soft when enlarged in the final layout.
- Keep a copy of the source because a downloaded crop cannot restore the removed area.
Common questions
Does cropping reduce image resolution?
The output contains only the selected pixels, so its width and height are smaller than the full source unless the whole image is selected.
Which ratio should I use for Instagram?
A square post commonly uses 1:1, portrait feed images often use 4:5, and stories use 9:16. Confirm current platform requirements before a campaign.
Are images uploaded to OmniKit?
No. Decoding, selection, preview, encoding, and download run in the current browser.
Crop an image freely without uploading it
Choose a JPG, PNG, WebP, or browser-readable HEIC image and drag the crop frame over the exact area you want to keep. Resize from any edge or corner, select a common aspect ratio, or enter precise pixel coordinates.
OmniKit crops and re-encodes the result in browser memory. Export PNG for transparency, JPG for broad photo compatibility, or WebP for compact web images.
