How do I crop to a perfect square?

Select 1:1 aspect ratio lock and your selection will always be a perfect square — ideal for Instagram profile photos.

Does cropping reduce image quality?

No. Cropping uses the original pixel data directly, so there is no quality loss.

Can I crop to exact pixel coordinates?

Yes, use coordinate input mode to enter exact X, Y, width, and height values in pixels.

Can I re-crop after the first crop?

Yes, re-upload the image or refresh the page to start over with a new crop selection.

Can I crop GIF or PNG files?

JPG, PNG, and WebP are fully supported. GIF files are cropped from the first frame only.

Professional Cropping Techniques

Instagram — Aspect Ratio Control

Crop to 1:1 or 4:5 before uploading to control your composition. For profile pictures, ensure your logo or face is centered within a 1:1 circle-safe crop.

YouTube — CTR Optimization

Custom thumbnails often double your Click-Through Rate (CTR). Crop to 1280×720px and keep faces/text offset from the bottom-right corner to avoid the video timestamp overlay.

Twitter / X — Timeline & Header

Twitter timelines display at 2:1 (1200×600px). Card previews are 1.91:1 (800×418px), and headers are 3:1 (1500×500px). Cropping to these ratios ensures critical text or branding stays visible.

Shopify — Grid Layouts

Nothing looks more unprofessional than uneven product cards. Use a fixed aspect ratio crop tool to ensure every product in your store aligns perfectly on the collection page.

Facebook / Open Graph — Sharing Previews

The standard preview image (OG Image) is 1200×630px. Pre-cropping your blog covers to this 1.91:1 ratio ensures your link preview looks perfect when shared.
