How to use Image Cropper
Steps
- Upload an image and select the crop area.
- Choose a preset ratio such as square, 16:9, or 4:3 when you need consistent framing.
- Move or resize the selection until the subject is centered.
- Download the cropped result in your preferred format.
Example use case
A horizontal product photo can be cropped to a square for a marketplace listing while keeping the item centered and removing empty background.
Settings explained
- Aspect ratio presets keep crops consistent across a campaign or gallery.
- Free crop gives full control when the final size is not fixed.
- Output format controls whether the cropped image keeps transparency or uses lossy compression.
Limitations
- Cropping removes pixels outside the selected area and cannot restore them later.
- Small crops from low-resolution originals may look blurry when enlarged.
- Some formats may lose metadata during browser export.
Troubleshooting
- If the subject is cut off, enlarge the crop box or switch to a wider ratio.
- If the result looks pixelated, crop less aggressively or start from a higher-resolution file.
- If transparency is needed, export as PNG or WebP rather than JPG.
