Image Cropper: Crop, Rotate and Flip Photos

Marukit's Image Cropper is a free web tool that crops a photo by dragging a box, or to a fixed shape: square 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16. Rotate or flip it, then save it as JPG, PNG or WebP.

Your images are processed inside your browser and are never uploaded to our servers.

About this tool

Need an exact size such as 1080 × 1350 px? Choose Custom size: the box keeps that shape and the result is saved at exactly those pixels. On a phone, drag the box with your finger; the corner handles are large enough to grab.

How to use the Image Cropper

  1. Choose an image.
  2. Drag the box to move it, or drag a corner to resize it. Pick a shape (Free, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16 or Custom size) to keep it in proportion.
  3. Rotate or flip the picture if needed.
  4. Choose the output format, press Crop image and download the result.

Not working? Quick fixes

  • The box won't get any bigger: it stops at the edge of the image, and with a fixed shape it stops as soon as one side reaches the edge.
  • The result looks soft: Custom size made it larger than the area you selected. Select a bigger area or type a smaller size.
  • Need a smaller file after cropping? Use the Image Compressor or Compress Image to 100KB.

Supported formats

Input
JPG, PNG, WebP (plus GIF, BMP and AVIF if your browser can open them)

JPG, PNG or WebP (the original's format by default)
Processing
In your browser

Limitations

  • Rotating resets the box to the largest one of the chosen shape.
  • Custom size goes up to 8000 × 8000 px. If it's bigger than the area you selected, the image is enlarged and looks softer.
  • JPG output turns transparent areas white.
  • Animated GIFs are cropped as a single still frame.
  • Camera details and GPS location are not kept in the output image.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop an image to a square?

Choose 1:1. The box becomes the largest square that fits; drag it over the part you want to keep and press Crop image.

How do I crop to an exact size in pixels?

Choose Custom size and type the width and height, for example 1080 and 1350. The box keeps that shape, and the result is resized to exactly that size.

Does cropping reduce quality?

Cropping only removes the outside parts. PNG keeps every pixel; JPG and WebP are saved at quality 92 by default, which looks the same as the original. You can change the quality before cropping.

Can I crop a photo on my phone?

Yes. It works in the browser on iPhone and Android: drag the box or its corner handles with your finger.

Can I rotate or flip a photo without cropping it?

Yes. Keep the shape on Free so the box covers the whole picture, rotate or flip it, and press Crop image.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Cropping runs in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.
