How do I crop an image to a specific ratio?
Select a preset ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, etc.) from the dropdown, then drag on the image. The selection will maintain the chosen ratio.
Can I crop for Instagram or YouTube?
Yes — use 1:1 for Instagram posts, 9:16 for Stories/Reels, and 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails. Afterward, use the Resize tool to get exact pixel dimensions.
Is the original image quality preserved?
Yes — cropping extracts pixels without recompression (with PNG output). If the result looks soft, try our Sharpen tool for improved clarity. Then use Compress to optimize file size.
