How does it work?

Drop your image: it opens in the editor with the Crop tool active. Draw the frame directly on the photo. In the right-hand panel, choose a ratio: free, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16, or a custom ratio (width divided by height).

Adjust the frame by dragging it, or type its exact width and height in the bar that appears below the image. Click the check mark to confirm: the document takes the size of the frame. Finally, click Export to choose the format (PNG, JPG or WebP) and the final size.

Examples

Turning a photo into a 16:9 banner

A 4000 × 3000 pixel photo (4:3). With the 16:9 ratio and a full-width frame, the height becomes 4000 × 9 ÷ 16 = 2250 pixels: 750 pixels are removed, split however you like between the top and the bottom.

Isolating one person in a group photo

On a 3000 × 2000 pixel photo, a free 900 × 1200 frame around one person gives a 1.08-megapixel portrait, plenty for a profile picture (400 × 400 pixels is recommended on most networks).

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping reduce quality?
No: the pixels you keep are not resampled. The image is simply smaller. Quality only drops on export if you choose JPG or WebP with a low quality setting.
Can I undo a crop?
Yes, with Ctrl/Cmd + Z or in the “History” tab. As long as the tab is open, the layer content is kept: undoing the crop brings the cut edges back.
Can I keep the whole image without cutting it?
Cropping cuts the image. To keep everything, create a document with the right proportions (File › New document offers square, portrait and story sizes), open your photo in it as a layer and scale it down: the edges stay transparent or take the background color you chose.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Images are opened, edited and encoded in your browser, on your device. No image, file name or layer text is uploaded: you can even go offline once the page has loaded. Closing the tab erases your work in progress.
