Crop JPG Precisely

Remove unwanted edges, focus on a subject, or produce a perfect square for social media. The cropper gives you a draggable, resizable selection with live preview so your JPG comes out exactly right.

Why Crop a JPG Before You Share It?

JPG is the format most photos arrive in — from phone cameras, DSLRs and messaging apps — and straight out of the camera a shot usually contains more scene than you want. Cropping lets you recompose after the fact: trim a stranger out of the edge of a holiday photo, pull the subject closer to fill the frame, or turn a landscape shot into a square avatar or a 16:9 header without retaking it.

Because JPG is a lossy format, how the cropped file is saved matters as much as where you cut. The cropper re-encodes your download with an adjustable quality slider: keep it high when detail matters, or lower it to produce a lightweight image for the web. And since cropping discards pixels you did not need anyway, the cropped JPG is almost always a smaller file than the original at the same quality setting.

  • Recompose photos for profile pictures, listings and thumbnails.
  • Match platform ratios with 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2 and 2:3 presets.
  • Control the JPG quality of the download with a single slider.
