What this tool does
Image Cropper lets you keep only part of a picture. Drag the box over the area you want, pull its corners or edges to change its size, or type the exact position and size in pixels. Choose a ratio such as 1:1 for a profile photo or 16:9 for a video thumbnail, and the box keeps that shape.
Cropping keeps the original pixels of the part you choose, so the cropped area is exactly as sharp as before. To also change its size in pixels, use the Image Resizer afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
How do I crop a photo into a square?
Choose 1:1 under Ratio. The crop box becomes square and stays square while you resize it. Drag it over the part you want, then select Crop image.
Can I crop to an exact size in pixels?
Yes. Choose Free, then type the width and height (and the X and Y position from the top-left corner) in the boxes. To end up with a fixed size like 600 × 600, crop to the right shape here and then resize it with the Image Resizer.
Does cropping reduce quality?
No pixels inside the crop are changed. If you save as JPG or WebP, the image is compressed again; at 92% quality the difference is very hard to see. Choose PNG to keep it completely lossless.
Can I use the keyboard?
Yes. Select the crop box, then use the arrow keys to move it by 1 pixel, or hold Shift to move it by 10. You can also type exact values in the boxes.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Your browser crops it on your own device. Nothing is sent to Freetol or stored anywhere.
