How do I move or resize the crop box?

Drag inside the crop box to move it. Drag corner handles to resize. The box respects your selected aspect ratio when one is locked.

What aspect ratio options are available?

Free (any shape), 1:1 square, 4:3, 16:9 widescreen, and 9:16 portrait/stories format.

How does circle crop work?

Enable circle crop and your export is clipped into a circle inscribed within the crop selection — ideal for profile pictures.

Can I rotate before cropping?

Yes. Use 90° rotate buttons or the free-rotate slider for any angle between 0 and 359 degrees.

What format is the exported file?

Circle crop or PNG sources export as PNG. Other crops typically export as JPG.

Is cropping accurate for high-resolution images?

Yes. Crop coordinates map to full original resolution, not just the on-screen preview size.

Does cropping happen on a server?

No. All cropping, rotation, and zoom math runs locally via the canvas API.

Is Image Cropper free?

Yes. Free on ToolifHub with no account or usage limits.

Overview

Image Cropper on ToolifHub delivers desktop-editor precision in the browser — drag the crop box, resize from corner handles, lock aspect ratios, zoom into details, rotate freely or in 90-degree steps, and export at full native resolution. Presets cover 1:1 square profile photos, 16:9 widescreen thumbnails, 9:16 vertical Stories and Reels, 4:3 traditional framing, and free-form creative crops. Circle crop mode inscribes a perfect circle within your selection for avatars and social profile images. The zoom slider lets you crop tighter on a subject without shrinking the crop box itself. Rotation controls straighten tilted photos before final export. Exports as transparent PNG when circle crop is enabled or the source was PNG; otherwise JPG. All canvas math runs locally — no uploads. Ideal after Remove Background when you need to tighten product cutouts or portrait framing.

About Image Cropper

Image Cropper is a free, browser-based tool on ToolifHub with a draggable, resizable crop box, aspect ratio presets (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16, free-form), circle crop mode, zoom slider, and rotation controls. Export full-resolution crops directly to downloadable PNG or JPG — all processed locally.

Crop coordinates map back to your image's native resolution, so exports match full quality rather than screen preview size. Circle crop mode clips selections into perfect avatars and profile pictures.

Remove backgrounds first with Remove Background, then crop and resize with the Image Resizer. Browse Image Tools or read our Privacy Policy.

Use Cases

Profile picture avatars

Use circle crop with 1:1 ratio for round profile photos on LinkedIn, Discord, or forums.

Story and reel formatting

Crop to 9:16 for Instagram Stories, Reels, or TikTok-style vertical video covers.

Removing distracting backgrounds

Tighten the crop around the subject when a full background removal is not needed.

Straightening tilted photos

Use the free-rotate slider to level a slightly tilted photo before applying the final crop.

Examples

A landscape vacation photo cropped to 16:9 becomes a clean YouTube community post banner.
A square 1:1 circle crop on a headshot produces a ready-to-upload avatar PNG with transparency.

Tips for Best Results

Choose your aspect ratio preset before fine-tuning position — the crop box snaps to the locked ratio.
Zoom in before cropping small details like product labels or document text regions.
Straighten with rotation first, then adjust the crop box for cleaner horizontal lines.

Limitations

Single-image workflow — crop one file per session before resetting for the next.
Extreme rotation plus heavy zoom on very large sources may feel slower on low-end devices.
Circle crop exports PNG; very large circle crops produce larger files than equivalent JPG crops.
Does not perform content-aware fill outside the crop — cropped areas are discarded permanently.
