About this tool
A crop that pulls the eye straight to the subject
Start from the point of interest
Before cropping, decide what you want to emphasize: a face, a product, or a mood. Place that point slightly off-center so the composition feels more alive, then make sure important parts are not cut off at the edges.
The ratio shapes the story
Profile photos are usually square, vertical posts offer more room, and wide banners need empty space for text. Choosing the ratio up front is safer than cropping again after the design is finished.
Check edges and safe areas
When cropping for a specific platform, leave some space around the subject. Edges that are too tight make a photo feel cramped and risk being cropped again by the app display.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the original photo change?
No. The original photo on your device is not modified; this tool creates a new result from the area you select. Keep the original file so you can crop it again later.
Which ratio works for Instagram?
Feed posts commonly use 1:1 or 4:5, while Stories and Reels use 9:16. Check the latest layout on the platform because it can change.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
This tool crops by ratio, focal position, and zoom. For an exact pixel size, crop with a matching ratio first, then set the dimensions in the Resize Image tool.
What if an important part gets cut off?
Change the focal position or zoom out until the subject fits fully. For photos with the subject near the edge, try a wider ratio instead of forcing a narrow one.
