Can I crop on a phone?

Yes. The frame responds to touch: drag inside it to move, drag a corner to resize. The ratio buttons are the quickest route on a small screen.

Does cropping reduce image quality?

The kept area retains its detail. JPG files are saved again at high quality, and PNG files are saved without any loss.

How do I crop to an exact pixel size?

Crop to the matching ratio first, then resize the result to the pixel dimensions you need. For 1080 × 1350 and 1080 × 1440 there are dedicated pages that do both at once.

Crop Image Online: Free or Fixed Ratio

Cropping removes what does not belong in the picture: a stranger at the edge, a messy desk around a document, the empty sky above a group photo. It is also the cleanest way to change a photo’s shape, because nothing is squashed or stretched.

Choose one of the ratio buttons for a centred crop in one tap, or drag the corners of the frame for a free selection.

Before and after

A pair of black-handled scissors on a plain white surface — The dashed frame on the left marks the part that was kept: 2621 × 2580 px out of the original 4032 × 2688 px.
The kept part is not scaled up or down.
The numbers are from a real run of the tool above. The pictures here are smaller previews of the actual files.

Which ratio to pick

1:1 is the square used for profile pictures and marketplace listings. 4:5 and 3:4 are portrait shapes for social feeds. 16:9 is the widescreen shape of video thumbnails, slides and desktop wallpapers, and 9:16 is the same thing turned upright for stories, reels and phone wallpapers.

Cropping without losing quality

A crop keeps the remaining pixels at their original resolution; it does not rescale them. The saved file is smaller simply because it contains fewer pixels. If you need a particular pixel size afterwards, crop to the right ratio here and then use the resize tool, which will then have nothing left to trim.
