Crop, rotate and flip a picture visually, then export a clean PNG. Use the percentage fields for an exact crop or pick an aspect preset (1:1, 4:3, 16:9) for a social-media or print-ready frame. The preview shows the crop rectangle before you commit to it.
Typical uses: straightening a scan or a photo that was taken at an angle, cutting out a distracting edge, square-cropping for a profile picture or a shop listing, or rotating a phone photo that was saved sideways. The image is processed locally, so nothing is uploaded.

FAQ
Is cropping free and without a watermark?
Yes. The tool is free, adds no watermark and has no file limit.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping only removes pixels - the remaining area is exported at the original resolution into PNG, which is a lossless format.
Which format do I get?
PNG, so transparency is preserved and there are no JPEG artefacts. If you need a smaller file afterwards, run the result through the image converter to produce a JPG or WebP.
Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?
The crop fields work in percentages of the image, which behaves the same at any resolution. If you need a specific pixel size, crop first and then use the Resize tool to set the exact width and height.
Can I rotate by 90 degrees?
Yes, you can rotate in 90-degree steps and flip horizontally or vertically, and the crop selection follows the rotated image.
Is my image uploaded?
No, everything happens in your browser.

How much quality you actually lose
Lossy compression throws away detail your eye is least likely to notice - first fine texture, then edges. In practice most photographs look identical to the original down to roughly 75-80% quality, and differences only become obvious around faces, hair, foliage, fabric patterns and text. That is why a portrait and a screenshot need different settings: a face at 60% shows blotchy skin where a landscape at 60% still looks fine. Resizing matters more than quality for perceived sharpness: halving the pixel dimensions usually saves far more than dropping quality from 90 to 60, and the result looks better. If you need a specific file size, reduce dimensions first, then quality, and stop as soon as you hit the target rather than going lower than necessary.
Choosing between JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF
These formats solve different problems, and picking the wrong one costs you either quality or file size. JPG is the safest choice for photographs and for anything you need to send to someone else, because every device and program opens it - but it is lossy and has no transparency. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, which makes it right for logos, screenshots, diagrams and anything with sharp edges or text, at the cost of a much larger file. WebP typically beats JPG by 25-35% at the same visible quality and supports transparency, but a few older programs still cannot open it. AVIF compresses even further, especially at low quality settings, but encoding is slower and support is the newest of the four. A practical rule: JPG to send, PNG to edit, WebP for your own website, AVIF when every kilobyte counts and you have checked that your audience can open it.
