About Crop Image

Cropping decides what is in the picture and what is not. It is the fastest improvement available to most photographs — removing dead space and putting the subject where the eye goes first.

How to use it

1. Upload the image.
2. Drag out the area you want to keep.
3. Download the cropped image.

Worth knowing

Cropping discards pixels permanently, so the result is smaller and cannot be extended again. Crop from the largest original you have rather than from an already-resized copy.

Common questions

Can I crop to a fixed shape?

Set the selection to the proportions you need — square for profile pictures, 16:9 for video thumbnails.

Does cropping reduce quality?

The remaining pixels are untouched; you simply have fewer of them.
