How to crop an image
- Add your photo.
- Drag the handles to frame the part you want — or pick a preset ratio like 1:1 or 16:9.
- Download the cropped image as JPG, PNG or WebP.
Why crop images?
Cropping removes distractions, straightens a shot and fits your image to the exact ratio a platform needs — a square for Instagram, a wide banner for a header, or a clean close-up.
