  • Profile pictures – square crops for WhatsApp and LinkedIn.
  • Screenshots – keep only the important part.

Good to know

Cropping keeps full resolution in the area you choose. Combine it with Resize image in KB for form uploads.

Private by design. Crop Image works inside your browser. Your file is processed on your device and is not uploaded to our server.

Which crop ratio should I use?

For a complete passport or visa photo with a plain background and the head at the right size, use the Passport Photo Maker. For a signature photographed on paper, the Signature Background Remover also removes the paper.

Limits to know before you start

  • Cropping cannot add pixels. A small crop from a small photo stays small; check the pixel size if a form sets one.
  • One image at a time.

If something goes wrong

A picture will not open. The file may be damaged or in a format your browser cannot read. Convert it to JPG with Convert Image, or take a screenshot of it, and try again.

The crop box will not reach the edge. Drag the box edge right to the border, or type X, Y, width and height.

Crop Image – questions

How do I crop to a passport photo ratio?

Choose “Passport 3.5×4.5” and position the box around the face.

Can I enter exact pixels?

Yes. Type X, Y, width and height.

How do I crop a signature for an exam form?

Choose “Signature 7:3” – the shape of a 140 × 60 pixel signature – put the box tightly around it and save. Then set the exact size and KB with Resize Signature to 10–20 KB.

Does cropping reduce the quality?

No pixels inside the box are changed. A JPG is saved again at high quality, which looks the same.
