About this tool

Cut a rectangle out of an image without uploading the file anywhere. Pick percent mode for a quick proportional crop (X=10, Y=10, width=80, height=80 trims a 10% border off every side) or pixels mode for exact dimensions when you know the target. The cropper clamps your rectangle to the actual image bounds, so an over-large width quietly snaps to the right edge instead of erroring. Output keeps the source format by default, or you can flip to JPEG / PNG / WebP and adjust quality. Best used for trimming whitespace, focusing on a subject, or pulling thumbnail tiles out of a larger image. For free-hand visual cropping the desktop apps still win, but for numeric crops this is the fastest option.

Frequently asked questions

Which mode should I use — percent or pixels?
Percent is easier when you do not know the source dimensions and just want to trim a margin. Pixels is right when you have a target spec (e.g. crop the top 200 pixels of a screenshot to remove a status bar).
What does X and Y mean?
X is the distance from the left edge to the start of the crop rectangle. Y is the distance from the top edge. Width and height extend from that starting point right and down.
My crop rectangle goes off the image — what happens?
The rectangle is clamped to the actual image. If you ask for width 5000 on a 4000-wide image starting at X=0, you get a 4000-pixel-wide crop. No error.
Will the cropped image be sharper than just resizing?
Same sharpness — cropping copies pixels directly without resampling. Resizing changes pixel counts and softens edges slightly. If you crop then resize, do them in that order to keep the most detail.
Does this lose quality?
Cropping itself is lossless (pixel-perfect copy). Re-encoding to JPEG or WebP at less than 100 quality applies normal lossy compression. Pick PNG output to keep every pixel exact.
Can I crop in a non-rectangle shape?
No, this tool is rectangle-only. For circles, rounded corners, or irregular shapes you need a vector / mask-aware editor like Photopea or GIMP.
