About the Image Cropper
Cropping removes the parts of an image you don't need so the subject fills the frame — essential for profile pictures, thumbnails and product shots. This cropper lets you cut an image to a free rectangle or a perfect circle and download the result as a PNG, all inside your browser.
Because the whole process runs locally, your photos are never uploaded to a server. That makes it safe for personal pictures, ID photos and anything you'd rather not send to a third party.
How to use it
- 1Upload the image you want to crop from your device.
- 2Drag to position and resize the crop area over the part you want to keep.
- 3Choose a circular crop if you need a round avatar, or leave it rectangular.
- 4Preview the result to make sure the framing is right.
- 5Download the cropped image as a PNG.

Tips & good to know
- Circular crops export with a transparent background as PNG, so they sit cleanly on any color.
- Crop to the aspect ratio your destination needs (square for most avatars) to avoid awkward stretching later.
- Start from the highest-resolution version of your image so the crop stays sharp.
Frequently asked questions
- Are my images uploaded?
- No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser and your image never leaves your device.
- Can I crop to a circle?
- Yes. Choose the circular option and the exported PNG will have a transparent background outside the circle.
- What format is the download?
- Cropped images are saved as PNG, which preserves quality and supports transparency.
