Runs in your browser — your file never leaves your device.

Cut an image down to exactly the area you want, in your browser, without uploading it. Crop Image takes an X and Y offset from the top-left corner plus a width and height, and keeps only that rectangle. Leave width or height blank to crop all the way to the edge. The pixels inside the rectangle are copied as they are, so nothing is resampled or softened.

How to use Crop Image

Click "Select image files" and choose the picture.
Set X and Y to where the top-left corner of the kept area should start. Coordinates begin at the top-left of the image.
Set Width and Height, or leave either blank to extend that dimension to the edge.
Click "Crop Image" and download. If you cut too far, reload the original and adjust.

Who it is for

Crop Image is for removing what should not be in the frame: the desk around a scanned document, a second person in a photo, a UI chrome around a screenshot, or the empty half of a badly composed shot. It is also how you square an image for a profile picture without a dedicated tool.

How it works

Four values describe the kept rectangle: an X and Y offset from the top-left, then a width and a height. Leaving a dimension blank extends it to the edge.
The kept pixels are copied as they are, with no re-encoding, so the cropped area is exactly as sharp as the original.
The file gets smaller because there is less of it, not because anything was compressed.

What it cannot do

An X or Y outside the image is refused with a message rather than clamped; only width and height overflow is clamped to the bounds.
Coordinates are counted from the top-left, which is the opposite of how a PDF measures a page — an easy mistake when the same number is used in both tools.
There is no visual crop handle: you type numbers, so the first attempt often needs a second pass.
Cropping cannot recover what was never in the file — an edge that was cut off at capture stays cut off.

Frequently asked questions

How do I work out the coordinates?

Open the image in any viewer that shows the cursor position — most do — and hover over the corner you want to keep. Failing that, crop generously and crop again: X and Y are measured from the top-left, and leaving a dimension blank always extends to the edge, so you can trim in two passes without losing anything.

Does cropping reduce quality?

No. The kept pixels are copied as they are, with no re-encoding, so the cropped area is exactly as sharp as the original. The file gets smaller because there is less of it, not because anything was compressed.

Can I crop to a square for a profile picture?

Yes — set Width and Height to the same number. Work out the smaller of the image's two dimensions first, and use that as the size so you do not run off the edge.

What if my crop values go outside the image?

An over-large width or height is clamped to the image bounds, so a height that runs past the bottom simply crops to the edge. An X or Y position outside the image is refused with a message instead — check the corner you measured from, remembering that both are counted from the top-left.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The crop happens on your device, so personal photos never leave your browser.
