Why this cropper

A PNG cropper that respects your image and your privacy

Most crop tools flatten transparency or push your file to a server. This one keeps the alpha channel and does everything locally.

Instant & free

Drop an image and crop right away. No paywall, no trial, no watermark, no cap on how many you do.

Private by design

Your image is processed in your browser and never uploaded, so sensitive pictures stay on your device.

Transparency kept

Export as PNG or WebP and the transparent background is preserved — ideal for logos, icons and cut-outs.

Any ratio or exact size

Free-form, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 and more, a round mask for avatars, or type exact pixels for thumbnails and banners.

PNG, JPG & WebP

Pick the format that fits: PNG for transparency, JPG for small photos, WebP for a balance of both.

Rotate, flip & redo

Straighten or mirror your image, reset the frame, and keep a local history of recent crops.

Step by step

How to crop a PNG in four steps

From a full image to a clean, cropped PNG in well under a minute.

  1. Upload your PNG

    Drag a file onto the tool or choose one from your device. PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF (first frame) are all accepted.

  2. Frame the area

    Drag the crop box and pull the handles. Lock a ratio, switch on circle mode, or type an exact pixel size.

  3. Preview & adjust

    The live preview shows exactly what you will get, with the transparency checkerboard behind it. Rotate or flip if needed.

  4. Download

    Export as PNG to keep transparency, or JPG/WebP. Your crop is saved to a private on-device history.

Tip: keep edges crisp

Cropping never reduces quality on its own — the tool cuts at full resolution, so a 4000 px image stays 4000 px inside the frame. For a smaller file, set an exact pixel size or export as WebP.

The basics

What is a PNG cropper, and when to use one

A PNG cropper removes the parts of a PNG you do not need and keeps the rest, while preserving the format’s transparent background. PNG is the go-to format for logos, icons, screenshots and stickers, so cropping a PNG is subtly different from cropping a photo: you usually want the transparency to survive, and you often need an exact shape or size.

Crop by shape: rectangle or circle

Rectangular crops are the default — frame the subject, trim the empty margins, done. A circle crop turns the corners transparent so the image reads as a round badge, which is what you want for profile pictures and round app icons that must sit cleanly on any background.

Crop by ratio or by exact size

Social platforms and design systems expect particular shapes. Lock 1:1 for avatars and thumbnails, 16:9 for video covers and banners, or 4:5 for portrait posts. When a slot demands precise pixels — a 512×512 icon, say — type the numbers and the crop matches exactly.

Keep transparency, choose your format

Exporting as PNG keeps every transparent pixel. WebP also supports transparency at a smaller size. JPG does not, so picking JPG fills the see-through areas with white — fine for photos, not for logos. The tool reminds you and forces PNG for round crops so the corners stay clear.

Why browser-side cropping matters

Because this cropper works entirely in your browser, your image never travels to a server. That is faster (no upload wait) and more private — important for ID photos, work screenshots or anything you would rather not hand to a website.

FAQ

PNG cropper questions, answered

What is a PNG cropper?

A PNG cropper trims a PNG down to the part you want to keep. This one runs in your browser: upload a PNG, drag the crop frame over the area you need, and download the result. It preserves the transparent background PNGs are known for, so logos, icons and cut-outs stay clean.

How do I crop a PNG online?

Drop your file into the tool above, drag the corner handles to frame the area, optionally lock an aspect ratio or type an exact pixel size, then press Download. It takes a few seconds and never leaves your device.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes. When you export as PNG (or WebP) the transparent areas are preserved. The checkerboard behind the canvas shows you which pixels are see-through.

Can I crop a PNG into a circle?

Yes. Turn on Circle crop and the corners become transparent, giving a round PNG that is perfect for profile pictures, avatars and round icons.

Is it really free, with no sign-up?

It is completely free, with no account, no watermark and no limit on how many images you crop. There is nothing to install.

Can I crop to an exact pixel size?

Yes. Type the width and height in the Exact size boxes, or lock the aspect ratio and enter one dimension — useful for thumbnails, avatars and banner slots.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All cropping happens locally in your browser using the canvas, so your images are never sent anywhere.

Can I download in JPG or WebP too?

Yes. PNG keeps transparency, JPG is smallest for photos, WebP balances both. Round crops always export as PNG so the transparent corners survive.
