How to crop an image online
Cropping changes a photo or image's framing without installing an editor. Use a square format for a profile, landscape for a cover, or portrait for mobile content, all in the browser.

When image cropping helps
- To prepare a square photo for a profile or marketplace.
- To adapt an image for a cover, thumbnail, or vertical post.
- To remove unwanted edges without an unnecessary conversion.
Step by step

Open the crop tool and choose a JPG, PNG, or WEBP file.
- 2
Select a crop format: square, 16:9 landscape, 9:16 portrait, or 4:3 photo.

Adjust the horizontal and vertical positions to choose what stays in frame.

Crop and download the new image in the original file format.
Keep what matters in frame
- For a profile photo, keep the face near the center before selecting square.
- Compress the image after cropping when you also need a smaller file.
- Keep the original if you need other framings later.
