REAL TEST RESULTS · EXAMPLE
See exactly what cropping removes from a photo
This real test uses one PNG photo of a camera and notebook. Compare the original with square (1:1) and widescreen (16:9) crops. The pixels inside each crop stay unchanged; only the area outside the crop is removed.

Measurements refer to the actual PNG source and PNG outputs, not the lightweight WebP previews displayed on this page. The supplied 4:3 output is byte-for-byte identical to the original, so it correctly produces no crop. Cropping does not guarantee a particular file-size reduction; compression settings also matter. This permanent example is separate from images you edit using the tool above.
Crop, rotate and flip images directly in your browser
Cropping removes unwanted areas and changes the composition of an image. It is useful for tightening a photo around the subject, matching a required aspect ratio, removing empty borders or preparing a picture before resizing it for a website, profile or post.
The crop tool also includes 90-degree rotation and horizontal or vertical flipping, so common orientation fixes can be completed in the same workflow. Processing takes place locally in the browser and the original file remains unchanged.
How it works
2
Adjust the composition
Use free cropping or an available aspect ratio, then rotate or flip the image when needed.
3
Export the result
Create a new cropped copy locally and download it in the available output format.
Cropping and composition tips
- Choose the final aspect ratio before fine-tuning the crop when the image is intended for a specific layout.
- Leave a little space around faces and important objects so later resizing or platform cropping does not cut into the subject.
- Use 90-degree rotation for camera-orientation problems instead of trying to correct them with an awkward crop.
- If you need exact final pixel dimensions after cropping, use the Resize Image tool as the next step.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce image dimensions?
Yes. Cropping removes pixels outside the selected area, so the resulting image normally has smaller width, height, or both.
Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?
The tool supports crop controls intended for free cropping and common proportions. Choose the ratio that best matches the destination, then position the crop around the subject.
Can I rotate an image that is sideways?
Yes. You can rotate the image in 90-degree steps, which is useful for correcting photos that were saved with the wrong orientation.
What does flipping an image do?
Horizontal flip mirrors the image left-to-right, while vertical flip mirrors it top-to-bottom.
Is the original image changed?
No. The crop workflow creates a separate output file and leaves the original image on your device unchanged.
