Image Cropper
Drag or type exact pixels, lock a ratio, rotate, flip — then save.
Crop area
Drag inside the image to draw a new area, drag the box to move it, or drag a handle to resize. Keyboard: arrow keys move the box (Shift = 10 px), Alt/Option + arrows resize it.

About the Image Cropper
Crop a photo or graphic to exactly the part you want. Drag the crop box with a mouse, a finger or the keyboard, type exact X, Y, width and height values in pixels, or lock an aspect ratio such as 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9. You can also rotate in 90° steps, flip, crop to a circle and resize the result before saving it as JPEG, PNG or WebP.
The image is processed by your browser on your own device and is never uploaded. Cropped files are written fresh, without the original EXIF metadata, so GPS location and camera details are not carried over.
How to use it
- Choose an image, drag it onto the page, or paste it with Ctrl+V / ⌘V.
- Pick an aspect ratio (or Free), then drag the box and its handles — or type exact values into X, Y, Width and Height.
- Rotate or flip if needed, and choose Circle for a round profile picture.
- Choose the format, quality and (optionally) a width to resize to, check the preview, then press Download.
Examples
Aspect ratio 1:1 · Shape: Circle · Format: PNG · Resize to width 512
512 × 512 px PNG with transparent corners
4032 × 3024 px photo · Aspect ratio 16:9 · Resize to width 1280
1280 × 720 px JPEG
Free · X 120 · Y 80 · Width 600 · Height 400
600 × 400 px taken from that exact position
Common uses
- Square or round profile pictures for social networks, chat apps and ID cards.
- Cutting screenshots down to the part that matters before sharing them.
- Fitting photos to a slide, banner, thumbnail or print shape.
- Removing distracting edges, borders or people from the frame.
Common aspect ratios
- 1:1 — square: profile pictures, product photos, album art.
- 4:5 — tall portrait, popular in social feeds.
- 3:2 — the shape of most DSLR and mirrorless camera sensors, and of 6 × 4 inch prints.
- 4:3 — the default shape of most phone and compact cameras.
- 16:9 — widescreen video, presentations, monitors and TV.
- 9:16 — full-screen vertical video such as stories and shorts.
Use Swap to turn a landscape ratio into portrait (for example 3:2 into 2:3), or Custom for any other shape, such as 1.91:1.
Cropping versus resizing
Cropping removes everything outside the box; resizing changes the pixel dimensions of the whole picture. This tool can do both in one step: crop first, then type a value in Resize to width (the height follows the crop shape). Enlarging cannot add detail, so a small crop scaled up will look soft. To resize without cropping, use the Image Resizer.
Which format to save in
- JPEG — best for photos. Quality 85–92% is a good balance of size and detail. It has no transparency, so transparent areas become white.
- PNG — lossless: best for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges or transparency. Files are larger for photos.
- WebP — usually smaller than JPEG at similar quality and supports transparency; every current major browser can open it.
Every time a JPEG or WebP is saved it is compressed again, so keep the quality high if you plan to edit the image further.
Limitations
- Animated GIF and WebP files are cropped as a still image (the first frame).
- HEIC/HEIF photos open only in browsers that can decode them, such as Safari.
- Colours are saved in standard sRGB, so very wide-gamut photos (for example Display P3 from recent phones) can lose a little saturation.
- Phones limit how large an image the browser can create. If saving a very large crop fails, set a smaller Resize to width.

Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is opened, cropped and saved by your browser on your device. Nothing is sent to MySmartCoPilot or anyone else, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.
How do I crop to an exact size such as 1080 × 1080?
Choose 1:1, position the box, and type 1080 in Resize to width. Or choose Free and type the exact Width and Height of the area. The line under the preview shows exactly what will be saved.
Can I crop an image into a circle?
Yes. Choose Circle under Shape (pick 1:1 for a perfect circle). PNG and WebP keep the corners transparent; JPEG cannot store transparency, so the corners become white.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
The pixels you keep are not changed, but the file is saved again. PNG is lossless. For JPEG and WebP, a quality of 90% or more is visually very close to the original.
Does the cropped image keep EXIF data such as GPS location?
No. The browser writes a new file without EXIF, GPS or camera metadata (the photo is turned upright first). To inspect or strip the metadata of an original file, use the Image Metadata Viewer.
Can I crop with the keyboard?
Yes. Press Tab until the crop box is focused. Arrow keys move it by 1 pixel (10 with Shift), and Alt/Option + arrow keys make it wider, narrower, taller or shorter. You can also type exact numbers in the X, Y, Width and Height boxes.
