About the Image Crop Tool

Cropping removes the parts of a picture you don’t want and can change its shape: a square for a profile photo, 16:9 for a video thumbnail or slide, 2:3 for a portrait print. This tool shows your image with a selection box on top. Drag inside the box to move it and drag the white handle at its bottom-right corner to resize it. Everything outside the box is darkened, and a rule-of-thirds grid helps with composition.

Choose Free to crop to any shape, or pick 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 or 2:3 to keep the box locked to that ratio. Under the image you see the output size in the real pixels of your original, not the smaller size it is displayed at, so you know exactly how big the cropped file will be. The crop itself is cut from the full-resolution image.

PNG images are saved as PNG and keep their transparency. JPG and WebP images are saved as JPG at 92% quality. The selection box responds to mouse, touch and pen input, so cropping also works on a phone or tablet. If the first result isn’t quite right, Re-crop takes you back with your selection still in place.

After cropping, use Resize Image if you need an exact pixel size such as 1080×1080, or the Image Compressor to make the file smaller.

What it can do

Free or fixed ratio

Six options: Free, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 and 2:3.

Real output size

The crop size is shown in the pixels of the original image.

Full-resolution crop

Pixels are copied from the original image, not from the scaled-down preview.

Touch support

Pointer events make the box work with a mouse, a touch screen or a pen.

Re-crop

Return to the editor with your last selection kept, instead of starting over.

Limitations

  • The box is resized from its bottom-right corner only; move the box to adjust the other edges.
  • You can’t type exact crop dimensions. Crop to the ratio you need, then use Resize Image for an exact size.
  • There is no rotation, flipping or circular crop.
  • WebP input is saved as JPG, and transparent areas in it become white.

Privacy

Cropping happens in your browser; the image is not uploaded to FlexyPdf’s servers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop an image to a square?

Select 1:1 and the box becomes square. Move and resize it over the part you want to keep, then click Crop Image. The line under the image shows the resulting size in pixels.

Does cropping reduce image quality?

The pixels inside the box are copied at full resolution. PNG output is lossless; JPG output is re-encoded at 92% quality, which adds a small amount of compression.

Can I crop to exact dimensions like 1080×1080?

Not in one step. Crop with the 1:1 ratio first, then open Resize Image and set 1080×1080.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Drag inside the selection box to move it and drag the corner handle to resize it; the page doesn’t scroll while you are dragging the box.

What file type do I get?

PNG stays PNG. JPG and WebP files are saved as JPG. The download is named after your file with “-cropped” added.
