Drop a PNG to crop
Drag & drop an image here, or choose a file. Supports PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF (first frame).
Max recommended size ~25 MP. Nothing leaves your device.
Recent crops (saved on this device)
From a full image to a clean, cropped PNG in well under a minute.
Drag a file onto the tool or choose one from your device. PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF (first frame) are all accepted.
Drag the crop box and pull the handles. Lock a ratio, switch on circle mode, or type an exact pixel size.
The live preview shows exactly what you will get, with the transparency checkerboard behind it. Rotate or flip if needed.
Export as PNG to keep transparency, or JPG/WebP. Your crop is saved to a private on-device history.
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.
Most crop tools flatten transparency or push your file to a server. This one keeps the alpha channel and does everything locally.
Drop an image and crop right away. No paywall, no trial, no watermark, no cap on how many you do.
Your image is processed in your browser and never uploaded, so sensitive pictures stay on your device.
Export as PNG or WebP and the transparent background is preserved — ideal for logos, icons and cut-outs.
Free-form, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 and more, a round mask for avatars, or type exact pixels for thumbnails and banners.
Pick the format that fits: PNG for transparency, JPG for small photos, WebP for a balance of both.
Straighten or mirror your image, reset the frame, and keep a local history of recent crops.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you came here to cut a PNG, cut a PNG online or for a PNG cutter, this is the tool — cutting part out of a PNG and cropping it are the same action. Frame the piece you want to keep and everything outside the box is removed, while the transparent background travels with the result. It is just as handy for cutting a logo out of a larger export, slicing one detail from a screenshot, or cutting a sticker from a sheet — nothing is uploaded, and the cut PNG downloads straight to your device.
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.
The home tool handles most jobs. These pages are tuned for a specific task, each one a standard answer for that need.
You rarely need to memorise pixel dimensions. Pick the preset that matches where the image is going and the ratio is locked for you — these are the sizes people ask for most.
Each link opens the same cropper with the right shape already set, so you just frame your image and download. Cropping only fixes the shape; if a platform also wants exact pixels, follow up on the crop-by-size tool.
These three get mixed up constantly, yet they solve different problems. Here is the plain-English difference so you reach for the right one.
Cuts away the parts you do not want and keeps the rest at full size. Use it to remove empty margins, straighten a subject, or force a shape like square or 16:9. That is what this tool does — nothing is scaled, so what you keep stays sharp.
Scales the whole image to different pixel dimensions without cutting anything. Use it when a slot needs an exact width or height — say a 512×512 icon. Do both at once on crop by size: frame the shape, then type the pixels.
Shrinks the file size for faster loading, ideally without a visible quality drop. You do not need a separate tool here — export your crop as WebP for a much smaller file than PNG at similar quality, or JPG for flat photos.
Almost every issue people hit with a PNG crop comes down to one of these four. Each has a one-step fix.
You exported as JPG, which cannot hold transparency and paints it white. Re-export the same crop as PNG or WebP and the see-through background comes back. For round crops the tool already forces PNG.
Cropping never blurs the pixels it keeps — softness means the source was small and got displayed larger, or a tiny area was cropped and then enlarged. A crop cannot invent detail that was not captured; start from the highest-resolution original you have.
Export as WebP for a big drop in size at near-identical quality, or set a smaller pixel size before downloading. Flat photos without transparency can also go out as JPG.
Do not eyeball it. Lock the aspect ratio (or pick the matching ratio preset) so the frame can only be that shape, or switch to exact pixels and type the numbers.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Turn on Circle crop and the corners become transparent, giving a round PNG that is perfect for profile pictures, avatars and round icons.
It is completely free, with no account, no watermark and no limit on how many images you crop. There is nothing to install.
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.
No. All cropping happens locally in your browser using the canvas, so your images are never sent anywhere.
Yes. PNG keeps transparency, JPG is smallest for photos, WebP balances both. Round crops always export as PNG so the transparent corners survive.
PNG, JPG and WebP, plus the first frame of a GIF. To crop an animated GIF and keep it moving, use the dedicated GIF cropper. Whatever you load, you can export the crop as PNG, JPG or WebP.
No. The crop is cut from the image at full resolution, so the pixels you keep are byte-for-byte the originals — a 4000 px source stays 4000 px inside the frame. Quality only changes if you deliberately set a smaller pixel size or export a lossy JPG. See crop without losing quality for the details.
Cropping removes the parts of the image outside your frame and keeps the rest at its original size. Resizing scales the whole image up or down without cutting anything. They are often combined: crop to the shape you want, then type an exact pixel size to resize the result in one step on the crop-by-size tool.
Pick the matching preset so the ratio is locked for you — for example Instagram posts (1:1), YouTube thumbnails (16:9) or a Facebook cover. Frame your image inside the fixed shape and download; the crop already fits the slot.
Yes. The batch PNG cropper applies one crop setting — a ratio, a circle or an exact size — to up to 30 images at once and lets you download them individually or all together.
Yes. The tool is touch-friendly: drag the frame and pull the handles with a finger. It runs entirely in the mobile browser on iPhone, iPad and Android, with nothing to install and nothing uploaded.
That happens when the crop is exported as JPG, which cannot store transparency and fills see-through areas with white. Export as PNG or WebP instead and the transparent background is kept. For round crops the tool switches to PNG automatically.
Yes. Rotate in 90° steps and flip horizontally or vertically before or after framing the crop. Handy for straightening a screenshot or mirroring a sticker, and it never re-compresses the pixels you keep.
No. Because every step runs locally in your browser, your files are never sent to a server, never stored and never seen by us. Closing the tab clears them; only the small thumbnails in your on-device history stay, and a single click wipes those.
