What is image cropping?
Cropping removes pixels around the edges of an image to improve framing, remove distractions or fit a required shape. It does not stretch the selected area.

Understanding image cropping
Common image aspect ratios
An aspect ratio describes the relationship between width and height. Square is 1:1, classic photos often use 4:3 or 3:2, widescreen uses 16:9, and vertical content often uses 9:16.
When to use each ratio
- 1:1 for profile pictures and square posts.
- 4:3 for presentations and traditional screens.
- 16:9 for video thumbnails, banners and widescreen displays.
- 9:16 for stories, reels and vertical phone screens.
Privacy and browser-side processing
The image is decoded, cropped and encoded by your browser. No image upload request is made, and the original file stays unchanged on your device.
