# Crop Image

ToolSugar crops a JPG, PNG, WebP or other photo in your browser, so the file is never uploaded. Drag the box over the part you want to keep, resize it by its corners, or type exact pixel values. Pick free, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16 to lock the shape. The result keeps the original format.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Add a photo. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP and HEIC are accepted.
2. Choose a shape: Free, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16.
3. Drag the box to move it and drag a corner handle to resize it. Arrow keys move it and Shift with an arrow resizes it. You can also type Left, Top, Width and Height in pixels.
4. Press Crop image, check the result, then download it.

## Key facts

## Common uses

- Cut a square profile picture out of a wider photo.

## Questions

### Does cropping reduce the quality of my photo?

The pixels inside the box are copied as they are, so nothing is resampled. A JPG is saved again with the browser's JPEG encoder, which adds a small amount of compression. A PNG is saved without loss.

### How do I crop to an exact size in pixels?

Type the Left, Top, Width and Height values under the picture. They refer to the original image, not to how big it looks on screen.

### Can I crop with the keyboard?

Yes. Focus the crop box, then use the arrow keys to move it and Shift with an arrow key to resize it. The number fields work too.

### Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is decoded and cut on your device with the browser's canvas, and the result is made available as a download from the same page.
