1:1 for Instagram feed, 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails. Locked ratios resize proportionally as you drag.
Type exact coordinates.
The X / Y / W / H boxes are live — type the exact crop you want and the rectangle moves to match. Useful for designed assets where pixels matter.
Cropping, plain answers.
Does cropping upload my image?
No. The image is decoded, cropped, and re-encoded entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API. There is no upload step, no server, and no analytics on file contents.
What's the difference between Free crop and a locked aspect ratio?
Free crop lets you drag any rectangle. A locked aspect ratio (like 1:1 or 16:9) makes the rectangle resize proportionally — useful for social-media formats that require an exact aspect, like Instagram squares or YouTube thumbnails.
Which aspect ratio is which?
1:1 is a square (Instagram feed). 4:3 is the classic camera ratio. 3:2 matches most DSLRs. 16:9 is widescreen (YouTube, monitors). 9:16 is portrait video (TikTok, Reels, Stories). 2:3 and 3:4 are common portrait print sizes.
Can I crop multiple images at once?
Not from this page — cropping is inherently per-image (you drag a rectangle on a specific picture). For bulk operations that don't need a per-image preview — resize, compress, or convert — use the dedicated tools for those.
Will the crop be exactly the dimensions I see?
Yes. The X / Y / W / H boxes show source-pixel coordinates, not display coordinates — the exported image will be exactly those dimensions, regardless of how big the preview is rendered on your screen.
