Crop a transparent PNG without flattening the background to white. The alpha channel is preserved, so logos, icons and cut-outs stay clean on any backdrop.

Transparent PNGs carry an alpha channel that records how see-through each pixel is. Many quick croppers draw your image onto a solid white canvas before exporting, which permanently replaces transparency with white — fine for a photo, ruinous for a logo that needs to sit on a colored header. This tool draws onto a transparent canvas and exports PNG or WebP, so the see-through areas come through untouched. The checkerboard behind the preview confirms what is transparent.
Keep transparency when trimming a logo down to its mark, cutting an icon out of a sprite sheet, tidying a sticker or product cut-out, or making a round avatar whose corners must disappear. Pick PNG for maximum compatibility or WebP for a smaller web-ready file. Avoid JPG here — it has no concept of transparency and fills the gaps with white.
Transparent PNGs often arrive with empty space around the subject. Cropping tightens that frame so the logo or icon sits flush, and because the alpha channel is preserved the new edges stay clean rather than gaining a white halo. If you are cleaning up a cut-out or a sticker, crop just inside the visible pixels, keep the format on PNG or WebP, and the transparent border travels with the file. Need it round instead of rectangular? The circle cropper turns the corners transparent too.
Transparent cut-outs sometimes show a faint light fringe at the edges — leftover pixels from the original background that were never fully removed. Cropping does not create this, but it is a good moment to tighten the frame just inside the clean pixels so any fringe falls outside the crop. Always keep the export as PNG or WebP; saving as JPG flattens the transparency onto a white background and the halo becomes permanent. If you are placing the result on a dark interface, preview it against a dark backdrop to spot stray light pixels before you commit. For a round subject — a badge or a face — the circle cropper masks everything outside the circle to transparent in a single step, which also hides edge fringing, and the icon cropper does the same for square app marks.
The Crop Transparent Image is free to use, with no watermark, no account and no upload. The whole tool runs in your browser on the HTML canvas, which means your images are processed on your own device and never sent anywhere — it is fast, completely private, and keeps working offline once the page has loaded. It behaves the same on Windows, macOS, Android and iPhone, with a crop box you can drag with a mouse or your finger, and you can crop as many images as you like in one sitting without reloading. Export to PNG or WebP to preserve transparency, or JPG when you want the smallest possible photo file. Lock a ratio, switch to a circle, or type exact pixels — whatever the task needs.
Drop in your transparent image. The checkerboard shows the see-through areas.
Drag the crop box, or use circle mode for round corners. Watch the transparent edges.
Download in a format that supports alpha so the transparency is preserved.
Yes, as long as you export as PNG or WebP. Both store the alpha channel, so transparency is kept exactly.
JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are filled with white. Use PNG or WebP to keep them.
Yes. Turn on circle crop and the corners become transparent too, giving a clean round mark.
No. Cropping happens in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
No background, no watermark. The output is just your cropped, transparent image.
