How to crop a photo to 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 or a custom aspect ratio

  1. Choose a photo to crop

    Open a JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 20 MB and 24 megapixels. Your photo stays in your browser during editing.

  2. Select a ratio and position the frame

    Choose 1:1 for a square, 4:5 or 9:16 for portrait layouts, 16:9 for landscape, or enter a custom ratio. Adjust the horizontal and vertical positions to place your subject.

  3. Check the crop preview and download

    Review the selected area, process the image and save the cropped result. Cropping removes the content outside the frame, so keep the original if you may need it later.

Crop square product images, portrait posts and wide cover photos

A consistent crop helps product grids and social layouts feel more organized. Keep faces and products away from the edges and check each platform’s current upload requirements. Cropping only removes pixels; use the AI image expander when the subject is already too tightly framed and you need to add background.

Questions about cropping photos online

How do I crop an image for Instagram or a portrait post?

Choose a suitable portrait ratio such as 4:5 or 9:16, then move the frame to keep your subject visible. The available ratios are composition presets; check the destination’s current requirements before publishing.

Can I move the crop without changing the aspect ratio?

Yes. After selecting a ratio, use the horizontal and vertical position controls to move the crop within the source image. A direction has no visible effect when the crop already fills that dimension.

What is the difference between cropping and expanding an image?

Cropping removes outer parts of the existing image. AI expansion generates new content beyond its original edges, which helps when you need a wider background without cutting off the subject. The AI editor requires an account and credits.
