Crop, Trim or Cut a Picture to the Part You Want

Drag a box over the area you want to keep and everything outside it is cut away — a quick way to remove unwanted parts of a photo, get rid of the edges, or crop somebody out of the frame entirely. The crop box moves and resizes freely, so you are not forced into a fixed shape, and the exact width and height in pixels update as you drag — useful when something needs to come out at a particular size.

How to Trim a Picture

  1. Click the upload area above or drag and drop your image (up to 7 MB).
  2. Drag a selection box over the part of the photo you want to keep. Drag the corners to resize it, or drag the middle to move it.
  3. Watch the width and height readout until it says what you need.
  4. Click Crop Image and download the result.

A Free Photo Trimmer and Cutter

People call this job different things — cropping a photo, trimming a picture, cutting an image down, chopping off the edges. It is all the same operation: keep a rectangle, discard the rest. This is a plain image cutter with no account, no watermark and no software to install, and it runs in the browser you already have.

The crop box here is free-form. There are no locked ratio buttons, so you drag whatever rectangle suits the picture. If you need an exact shape such as a square or a 16:9 banner, read the width and height numbers as you drag and stop when they match the proportion you want.

When You Might Need This

  • Cutting a subject out of a busy photo before sharing it
  • Trimming the blank margins off a screenshot
  • Removing something you do not want at the edge of a picture
  • Making a square profile picture from a wider photo
  • Cropping product shots so they all frame the item the same way

Key Features

  • Visual crop box – drag over the photo instead of typing coordinates
  • Live pixel readout – the width and height of your selection update while you drag
  • Free-form selection – any rectangle you like, not a fixed set of ratios
  • Nothing re-scaled – the pixels you keep are the original pixels, untouched
  • Private – files are deleted automatically within one hour, and nothing is watermarked

Supported Formats and Limits

Upload JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP or TIFF, up to 7 MB, with a limit of 50 megapixels. A transparent background stays transparent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cropping cuts parts of the picture away — you end up with less of the scene, at the original level of detail. Resizing keeps the whole picture and scales it up or down, so nothing is lost from the edges but every pixel is rebuilt. Crop when there is something in the frame you do not want; resize when the whole image simply needs to be a different size.

Drag your selection and watch the width and height readout, adjusting until the two numbers match — 800 × 800, for instance. The crop box is free-form rather than locked to preset ratios, so a square is simply a selection where width equals height.

Drag the box around the part you want to keep — everything outside it is discarded. Note that a crop is always a rectangle, so you cannot cut around an irregular outline here. To isolate a person or object from what is behind them, use Remove Background instead.

No. Cropping keeps the pixels inside your selection exactly as they were — nothing is stretched or rebuilt. The picture has fewer pixels overall simply because it covers a smaller area, which is why a heavily cropped photo can look soft if you then blow it back up to the original size.

Yes, by watching the live width and height while you drag. If you need a precise figure such as 1200 × 630, crop close to the right shape here, then set the exact numbers with Resize Image.

Usually yes, since there are fewer pixels to store — though the saving depends on how much you cut away. If the file still needs to be smaller after trimming, run it through Compress Image.

One image up to 7 MB, with a limit of 50 megapixels. If your photo is larger than that, shrink it first with Compress Image and then crop.
