- Drag a box over the part to keep.
- Download your cropped image.
What to expect
Draw it yourself
Drag a box of any shape right on your photo. Draw again to replace it.
Full quality
Cropping uses your original photo, not the smaller preview on the page.
Works on a phone
Draw the box with your finger, with no app to install.
When not to crop
To post a whole photo on Instagram without losing any of it, use Instagram Fit instead. To hide a face or number plate, Blur Face keeps the rest of the photo in place.
Common crops
- Passport-style photos Keep your head and shoulders, and then set the exact size with Resize Image.
- Screenshots Cut away menus and private tabs before you share them.
- Product photos Remove empty space, so that the item looks larger.
- Documents Trim the table or floor from a photo of a page.
If the result looks soft
A small crop from a big photo doesn't leave many pixels, so it can look soft when it's shown at a larger size. Start from the original photo rather than one sent over a messaging app, as those are often made smaller. Upscale Image can help a little.
