Every platform wants a different shape: square for a profile picture, 16:9 for a video thumbnail, 9:16 for a story, a circle for an avatar. This tool cuts your photo to the ratio you pick in one step.
The crop is centred: it keeps the largest area of your photo that fits the chosen shape, taken from the middle. That is the right default for portraits and product shots, where the subject is in the centre, and it means there is nothing to drag or align. The circle option exports a PNG with a transparent background, so it sits cleanly on any page or slide instead of showing white corners.
The honest limit follows from that simplicity: if your subject is off to one side, a centred crop may cut it. In that case, crop loosely in your phone's gallery first and use this tool for the exact ratio. The image is processed on your device and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
- How does the crop work?
- Pick a ratio and we cut the largest possible area from the center of your photo. Nothing is uploaded.
- Can I crop a circle?
- Yes — the circle option outputs a PNG with a transparent background, perfect for avatars.
- Which ratio should I use for social media?
- Square (1:1) for profile pictures and most feed posts, 9:16 for stories and Reels, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and link previews.
- Does cropping reduce quality?
- No. Cropping only removes the parts outside the frame; the pixels that remain are untouched.
