Pick an aspect ratio, zoom in and shift the frame until the crop is right, then download a PNG at the full cropped resolution.

Cropping is the fastest way to change what a photo emphasises. A square crop suits profile pictures and product thumbnails, 16:9 fits video thumbnails and slide headers, 3:4 suits portrait posters and 9:16 suits vertical stories. Choosing the ratio first keeps the subject from being cut off later.
The frame starts as the largest rectangle of the chosen ratio that fits inside the picture. Zoom shrinks that frame, so the crop covers a smaller region at the same ratio. The position sliders move the frame across the spare space, from one edge to the other.
The output is a PNG at the cropped pixel size, so cropping never reduces quality. Convert or compress the result afterwards if the destination needs a smaller JPEG.
Most services show profile pictures as circles inside a square, so crop 1:1 and keep the face in the upper middle. Export at least 400 × 400 pixels so the picture stays sharp on high-density screens. Keep important details away from the corners, because a circular mask removes them.
No. Cropping only removes pixels, and the output keeps the original resolution inside the frame. A 3000-pixel-wide photo cropped to a square at full size still produces a square of about 2000 pixels. Only scaling down to a smaller target reduces detail.
Use 1:1 for the classic square post, 3:4 as a close match for tall feed posts, and 9:16 for stories and reels. Keep text in the central area, because app interfaces cover the top and bottom edges of vertical formats.
Yes. Leave zoom at 100 percent and the frame takes the largest possible rectangle at the ratio you chose. Moving the position sliders then only shifts that frame, which is the right setting when you want as much of the photo as possible.
The preview shows exactly the pixels the download will contain. The original may appear larger on screen, so the crop looks tighter than the full photo. The output dimensions shown under the preview confirm the final size.
No. The picture is decoded in your browser and drawn onto a canvas. Cropping and downloading happen locally, so you can edit private photos without sending them to a server.
