How the Crop Image works
This tool processes your pictures using the browser's built-in Canvas API and standard image codecs for JPG, PNG and WebP. Resizing, cropping, conversion and compression all happen on your own device, so the image data is never sent to a server. Compression balances file size against visual quality using established lossy and lossless techniques appropriate to each format.
Tips & best practices
- Use aspect-ratio presets to match where the image will be used — square for many profiles, 16:9 for banners and video.
- Crop before resizing so you keep as much detail as possible in the part you keep.
- Leave a little breathing room around the subject rather than cropping too tightly.
Standards & accuracy
Uses the browser's native Canvas API and standard web image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP) — images are never uploaded.
For the best results, resize an image to the dimensions you actually display before compressing, and choose WebP for the web where a smaller file at the same quality is the priority.
