Frequently Asked Questions

Is my photo uploaded?

No, your photo doesn't leave your device. The Photo Cropper opens and crops your photo locally in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is kept after you close the page

Which aspect ratio should I use for Instagram?

Instagram now shows posts in 3:4, which is taller and fills more of the screen. 4:5 is the older portrait size and still works, 1:1 is the classic square, and 9:16 is for Stories and Reels

How do I fix a tilted horizon?

On a phone, drag the dial under the photo until the horizon lines up with the grid that appears, and double tap the dial to set it straight again. On a computer, drag anywhere outside the frame, or use the Straighten slider in the Rotate tab, where the minus and plus buttons turn it by 0.1° for the last bit. The crop shrinks just enough to keep empty corners out of the photo

Will my photo lose quality?

No. The cropped part keeps the pixels of your full-size photo and is never enlarged. A crop that isn't rotated is copied pixel for pixel, and the photo is saved as an sRGB JPG at 95% or 100% quality

Are the camera settings kept?

Yes. The camera, lens, settings and date (EXIF) of your photo are copied into the cropped one, with the new size

Is the Photo Cropper free?

Yes, every part of it is free, with no sign-up and no watermark

What is the Photo Cropper?

Need to crop a part of a photo, but don't have any software on your device or can't install any? Do it online! This universal crop tool works just like Lightroom's, with aspect ratios to choose from, horizon correction, selecting any part of the photo to fill the frame, and even mirroring and rotating the photo. Save it in full quality without losing any detail.

The frame stays in the middle while you move the crop area, zoom and rotate the photo under it until the composition feels right. It's made for phones, and works just as well on a computer.

When to crop a photo

  • Fit a photo to Instagram's 3:4 or 4:5 without the app cutting it
  • Straighten a horizon
  • Move the subject to follow the rule of thirds for a stronger composition
  • Cut out a distracting edge or a bright spot
  • Crop only a small section of the photo to show someone without revealing the rest
