Icon basics

Crop a clean, correctly sized icon

App icons and favicons need to be square, sharp and usually a specific size. This icon cropper locks to a 1:1 square so your mark stays even, and you can type exact pixels — 512×512 for stores and manifests, 192×192 for Android, 180×180 for Apple touch icons, or 32/64 for favicons. Export a transparent PNG so the icon sits cleanly on any background, or switch on circle mode for a round icon with transparent corners.

Get it sharp

Tips for a professional-looking icon

Center the mark with a little padding so it does not touch the edges, since many systems round the corners or add their own mask. Crop from the highest-resolution source you have and export at the largest size you need — downscaling a 512×512 icon looks far better than upscaling a small one. Keep the background transparent unless the design calls for a solid color.

Favicons too

Crop favicons and app icons at the right size

Beyond app icons, this is handy for favicons: crop a square mark and export a 32×32 or 64×64 PNG. For app stores and web manifests, a 512×512 master plus a 192×192 covers most needs. Keep the background transparent so the icon adapts to light and dark themes, and switch on circle mode for a round icon. For a round avatar instead, see the circle cropper; for an exact pixel size, crop by size.

Icon sets

One master, every icon size

Apps and sites need an icon at several sizes, and the simplest approach is to crop one clean 512×512 master and export smaller copies from it. For the web, a manifest typically wants 192×192 and 512×512; a favicon wants 32×32 (and often 16×16); for mobile, an Apple touch icon is 180×180. Keep the artwork centered with a little padding so it is not clipped when a platform rounds the corners, and keep the background transparent so the icon adapts to light and dark themes. Export PNG for crisp edges at every size. If you need a round icon — for an avatar-style mark — switch on circle mode and the corners become transparent; for a precise non-square size, crop by size lets you type any width and height. The same square master also works as a 1:1 social avatar if you reuse it.

Free & private

Free, no watermark, nothing uploaded

Everything in the Icon Cropper happens locally in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and there is no waiting on a server, no watermark and no sign-up. That makes it private enough for sensitive pictures — ID photos, documents, personal snapshots — and it even works without a connection once loaded. The same page runs on desktop and mobile, with draggable handles for both pointer and touch input, and you can keep cropping more files without starting over. Save your result as a lossless PNG or WebP to keep transparent areas, or as a JPG for a smaller photo file. The crop frame is locked to the right shape, so every result is consistent without manual measuring.
