How to use the image resizer and cropper
Crop, resize and rotate in one place
This tool combines the four edits people ask for most: cropping, resizing to exact pixels, rotating and flipping. It works on one image at a time and everything stays on your device.
Step by step
- Drop an image on the box or click to choose it.
- Fix the orientation first. Use Rotate left, Rotate right and the flip buttons until the picture looks the way you want it to end up.
- Pick a ratio. Free lets you draw any box. 1:1 suits avatars and Instagram posts, 16:9 suits video and slides, 4:5 suits portrait social posts and 9:16 suits stories and reels.
- Drag the box to move it and drag a corner dot to resize it. With a fixed ratio the shape is held for you.
- Set the output size. Type a width or a height and the other follows. Percent buttons scale the crop to 25, 50, 75 or 100 percent, and presets jump to common sizes.
- Choose PNG, JPG or WebP, set quality for the lossy formats and download.
Tips for sharp results
- Crop first, then set the size. Resizing a large uncropped photo and then cropping wastes pixels.
- Never enlarge past the original size if you can avoid it. If you need a bigger picture, start from a higher resolution source.
- For web use, 1600 pixels wide is plenty for full-width photos and 800 pixels for article images.
- Use PNG for screenshots and graphics with text, JPG for photos and WebP when you want the smallest file.
Common sizes
- Profile photo: 400 x 400
- Blog header: 1600 x 900
- HD video frame: 1280 x 720
- Email banner: 600 pixels wide
Privacy
Your image is decoded and re-drawn on a canvas inside the browser tab. No upload happens, so the tool is safe for private photos and client work.
Frequently asked questions
Does resizing reduce quality?
Making an image smaller keeps it sharp, because the tool halves it in steps before the final scale. Making it bigger than the original cannot add detail, so enlarged images look soft.
How do I crop to an exact size?
Choose a ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9, drag the box over the part you want, then type the final width in pixels. The height follows automatically while the lock is on.
Can I stretch an image to a size with a different ratio?
Yes. Turn off the proportions lock and type both values. A warning appears because the picture will be distorted. Cropping to the right ratio first avoids that.
What does flip do?
Flip mirrors the picture left to right or top to bottom. Rotate turns it by 90 degrees. Both are applied before you crop, so the crop box always matches what you see.
Is my picture uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and processed by your browser only and never sent to a server.
