A pixel-exact frame
X, Y, width and height are the image's own pixels. Type a number and the frame moves; drag the frame and the numbers follow.
Cut to an exact rectangle, a ratio or an ID photo size

Drag the frame or type the numbers. Ratio presets for square, 4:3, 16:9 and their portrait twins, a circle for profile pictures, and passport photo sizes at 300 DPI. The cut happens in your browser.
Frame exactly the part you need — by ratio, by pixel, as a circle or at passport size.
X, Y, width and height are the image's own pixels. Type a number and the frame moves; drag the frame and the numbers follow.
Hold the frame to 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or their portrait twins while you drag a corner, or choose Free for any rectangle.
Choose Circle and the frame locks to a square. Everything outside the circle comes back transparent in a PNG, ready for a profile picture.
US 2 × 2 in, 35 × 45 mm, 33 × 48 mm or 50 × 70 mm, saved as a JPG at exactly that size at 300 DPI. Check your country's rules for head size and background.
The part you keep isn't stretched or shrunk. A PNG keeps every detail, and a JPG is saved once at high quality. Only passport sizes change the pixel size.
Cropped too small to print? Send it straight to Upscale. Need an exact width afterwards? Resize is one click from the result screen.
| Ratio | Reads as | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | Square | Profile pictures, product tiles, Instagram grid |
| 4:3 · 3:4 | Classic photo | Most phone cameras shoot this natively |
| 16:9 · 9:16 | Widescreen · Stories | YouTube thumbnails, slides, Reels and Shorts |
| Circle | Avatar | Profile pictures on a transparent background |
| Free | Any | Cutting out a region, then Resize for the final dimensions |
A picture's pixels do not decide how big it prints. One small field in the file does, and this tool fills it in.
A JPG carries a field that tells printers how many dots per inch it is meant for; the pixels alone do not give a printed size. When you pick a passport size, this tool writes 300 into that field, so a 600 × 600 photo prints at 2 × 2 inches instead of whatever size the print software guesses.
“The JFIF APP0 marker provides information which is missing from the JPEG stream: version number, X and Y pixel density (dots per inch or dots per cm), pixel aspect ratio (derived from X and Y pixel density), thumbnail.”Six everyday jobs, the shape or framing each one asks for, and how to cut to it. Every rule links to the official page that sets it.
YouTube asks for a 16:9 thumbnail on videos and 9:16 on Shorts, with a minimum width of 640 px for videos. A 4:3 camera photo or a square graphic is the wrong shape for either.
How it helps
Choose 16:9, or 9:16 for a Short, and drag the locked frame over the moment you want. The Width box shows the crop's real pixels, so you can see it stays above 640 before you download.
Apple Podcasts shows a Show Cover as a square, at 3000 × 3000 px or, through an RSS feed, anywhere from 1400 × 1400 to 3000 × 3000. Artwork made for a banner, a video frame or a poster is the wrong shape.
How it helps
Choose 1:1 and frame the artwork. Start from a JPG, which stays a JPG with nothing see-through; skip Circle, which makes the corners transparent. If the square is wider than 3,000 px, Resize brings it to 3000 × 3000.
Google Merchant Center wants the product to take up no less than 75% and no more than 90% of the image, with no border, and at least 500 × 500 px from January 31, 2027. A product shot surrounded by empty backdrop falls short.
How it helps
Choose 1:1 or Free and pull the frame in until the product nearly reaches the edges. The Width and Height boxes show the crop stays above 500 px, and the part you keep isn't stretched or shrunk.
New Jersey's unclaimed property office asks that each uploaded image be cropped to fit the document, with non-essential parts such as a scanner's white background trimmed away. Files must be PDF, TIF, PNG or JPG, under 10 MB.
How it helps
Choose Free and drag the frame to the edges of the paper, or type X, Y, Width and Height for a pixel-exact cut. A JPG stays a JPG and a PNG stays a PNG, so the file is still one the portal accepts.
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio for Pins, or 1000 × 1500 px, and warns that Pins with an aspect ratio greater than 2:3 might get cut off in people's feeds. A tall phone screenshot or Story graphic is past that.
How it helps
Choose Free, keep the full width and type a Height one and a half times the Width, then drag the frame over the part that matters. Resize then takes it to 1000 × 1500 in one more step.
LinkedIn recommends 1584 × 396 px for a profile background photo, a strip four times wider than it is tall, as PNG or JPG. An ordinary landscape photo is nowhere near that shape.
How it helps
Choose Free and type a Height a quarter of the Width, such as 4000 × 1000, then drag the strip over the part of the photo you want. Resize takes it to 1584 × 396 afterwards.
Yes. The X, Y, width and height fields are in the image's own pixels and are bound to the rectangle both ways — type a number and the rectangle moves; drag the rectangle and the numbers update.
Pick the ratio above the fields. The rectangle snaps to it and stays locked while you drag; Free lets you draw any shape.
The part you keep isn't stretched or shrunk; a JPG is saved once at high quality, and a PNG keeps every detail. A free crop is never scaled — only a passport size is, because the form asks for exact pixels.
Yes — choose Circle. The frame locks to a square, and everything outside the circle comes back transparent in a PNG, ready for a profile picture or an avatar.
Pick a size under Passport & ID photo: 2 × 2 in for the US, 35 × 45 mm for the UK, EU, India and Australia, 33 × 48 mm for China, or 50 × 70 mm for Canada. Position the frame over the face and the result is a JPG at exactly that size at 300 DPI. It sets the size only — check your country's rules for head position and background.
A crop rectangle only means something against one picture. A batch crop that applied one rectangle to different-sized photos would cut each one somewhere different.
No — the crop is cut and encoded by your browser.
