About this resizer and cropper
Two jobs that usually come together: keep the part of a photo you actually want, and hand it over at the exact pixel size something is asking for. This tool does both in one pass — you drag a crop box, or lock it to a shape like 1:1 or 16:9, then type the width and height you need and save as JPG, PNG or WebP.
It runs entirely in your browser. There is no account, no watermark and no upload: the photo is decoded, cropped, resized and re-encoded on your own device, and the download comes straight back to you. Need to hit a file-size limit in kilobytes instead? Use theimage compressor — this one is about dimensions and shape.
How to resize and crop a photo
- Drop a photo onto the box above, or tap it to pick one from your gallery, camera or files.
- Drag the crop box to keep the part you want, or pick a ratio like 1:1 or 16:9 — then set the exact width and height in pixels.
- Choose JPG, PNG or WebP, press Apply, rename the file if you like, then Download. Everything happens on your device.
The crop box works with a mouse, a finger or the keyboard — focus it and the arrow keys nudge it, with Shift to resize. The width and height fields keep the crop’s shape while the lock is on, so a resize never stretches the picture; turn the lock off to force an exact size on purpose.
Crop, resize, or both — what each one does
Cropping changes what is in the frame
It throws away the edges you do not want and keeps the rest at full detail — nothing is scaled, so nothing softens. Use it to straighten a composition, cut a square profile picture out of a wide photo, or drop a distracting background.
Resizing changes how many pixels there are
Making an image smaller is the safe direction: the tool uses high-quality smoothing, so a downscaled photo stays clean. Making it larger than the source cannot add detail that was never captured, so it will look softer — that is true of every resizer, not just this one.
Doing both at once
Crop first to the shape you want, then resize the result to the pixel size you need. Because the two happen in a single draw, there is only one re-encode and one chance for quality to drop — not two.
Which image formats can I use?
The reading is done by your browser's own image decoder rather than by a converter shipped with the page, so the list is long and the format is worked out from the file's own first bytes — a photo someone renamed to.jpg is still read correctly.
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, APNG and SVG open in every modern browser. HEIC photos straight off an iPhone, TIFF scans and JPEG XL open in Safari on iPhone and Mac, because that support comes from the browser rather than from us. Whatever goes in, you save the result as JPG, PNG or WebP.
Nothing is uploaded — and how to check
There is no server to upload to. Your photo is decoded, cropped, resized and re-encoded by this browser, and the Download button points at the result sitting in your own device's memory. Every step happens in the tab you are looking at.
You do not have to take that on trust. Open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network panel, and run the tool: no request goes out carrying your image. Or turn your Wi-Fi off once this page has loaded — it keeps working, because there was never anything on the other end. Theprivacy policy walks through the same check in more detail.
Re-encoding has a side effect worth knowing about: the metadata block does not survive it. The file you download carries no camera model, no timestamp and no GPS coordinates.
Questions and answers
Does my photo get uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is decoded, cropped, resized and re-encoded inside your browser using the Canvas API. It is never sent to a server, and your browser’s network tab will show no request carrying it.
Can I resize an image to an exact width and height?
Yes. Type the pixel width and height you need and the tool scales the image to fill exactly that. Keep the lock on to hold the crop’s shape and avoid stretching, or turn it off to force an exact size even if it distorts the picture.
How do I crop to a square or a fixed ratio?
Pick a ratio chip — 1:1 for a square, or 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 3:2 and 2:3 for the common ones. The crop box snaps to that shape and stays locked to it as you drag the corners. Choose Free to crop to any shape by hand.
Which image formats can I use?
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, APNG and SVG all work in every modern browser. HEIC photos from an iPhone, along with TIFF scans and JPEG XL, work in Safari on iPhone and Mac, because the format support comes from your browser rather than from us. You can save the result as JPG, PNG or WebP.
Will cropping or resizing lose quality?
Cropping keeps every pixel it does not remove, so it loses nothing. Resizing smaller is done with high-quality smoothing, which stays crisp; resizing larger than the source cannot invent detail, so it softens — as any tool must. JPG and WebP have a quality slider so you can trade size against sharpness; PNG is lossless.
What happens to a transparent PNG or an animated GIF?
Keep transparency by saving as PNG or WebP. If you save as JPG, which has no transparency, see-through areas come out white — the tool says so under the result. An animation keeps only its first frame, because a still image holds one frame.
Is EXIF and GPS data removed?
Yes, as a side effect of re-encoding. The file you download carries no camera, date or location metadata.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Tap the box to pick a photo, drag the crop handles with your finger, set the size, and download. The work uses your phone’s own processor, so a very large photo takes a moment on an older device.
