What is cropping?

Cropping cuts away the outer parts of an image to keep only the area you want. It changes the composition and aspect ratio — useful for removing distractions, focusing on a subject, or fitting an image to a required shape like a square avatar.

How cropping works here

You drag a selection box over the image and the area inside it is redrawn as a new image on a canvas, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. The pixels you keep are unchanged — cropping only removes what is outside the selection, with no quality loss.

When to crop an image

Trim out background or bystanders, straighten a composition, make a square or banner-shaped image for social media, or zoom in on the important part of a photo before sharing it.

Crop vs resize

Cropping removes part of the image to change its shape or focus; resizing scales the whole image to new dimensions while keeping everything in frame. Crop to choose what stays in the picture, resize to change how big it is.
