How do I crop an image to a specific size?
Select an aspect ratio preset (1:1, 16:9, etc.) or use free crop for custom dimensions. Position the crop area over your desired region and download.
What is the best aspect ratio for Instagram?
1:1 (square) for feed posts, 4:5 (portrait) for maximum feed space, or 9:16 for Stories and Reels. Instagram crops images that do not match these ratios.
How do I crop a YouTube thumbnail?
Select the 16:9 aspect ratio preset. Position the crop to include the most engaging part of your image. YouTube thumbnails display best at 1280x720 pixels.
What aspect ratio do I need for printing photos?
4:3 for standard prints, 3:2 for 6x4 prints (classic 35mm), 5:4 for 8x10 prints. Match the aspect ratio to your print size to avoid the print shop cropping unexpectedly.
How do I straighten a tilted photo?
Use the rotation controls to rotate in 90° increments. For fine-tuning tilted horizons, use a dedicated image editor. This tool provides quick 90° rotation adjustments.
What is the difference between crop and resize?
Crop removes parts of an image to keep only the selected area. Resize changes the entire image dimensions. Crop changes composition; resize changes scale.
How do I crop for TikTok videos?
Select the 9:16 (vertical) aspect ratio preset. This matches TikTok's full-screen format. Keep important elements in the center third of the frame.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping itself does not reduce quality - it simply removes pixels outside the selection. Output quality depends on the format: PNG is lossless, JPEG/WebP have quality settings.
How do I crop a circle shape from an image?
This tool crops rectangles. For circular crops, use the Round Image tool instead. Some platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn) display profile pictures as circles.
What is free crop vs aspect ratio crop?
Free crop lets you select any rectangle shape. Aspect ratio crop locks the proportions (e.g., 16:9 width always stays proportional to height) for consistent sizing.
