Frequently Asked Questions

Upload your image, click the 16:9 button in the aspect ratio row and draw your crop selection — it locks to the correct widescreen ratio. Download as JPG or WebP for the best quality-to-size ratio. YouTube thumbnails should be 1280×720px at minimum.
Can I crop HEIC photos from my iPhone?
Yes — upload your HEIC file directly. It is decoded in your browser so you can crop it and download as JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF. No app or conversion needed first. Works in Safari on iPhone directly.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping itself does not reduce quality — it simply removes areas outside your selection. The cropped area keeps its full original resolution. You can also choose the output quality level before downloading if you want a smaller file size without a separate compression step.
Can I crop and compress at the same time?
You can choose the output quality level before downloading to reduce file size. For stronger compression after cropping, use our free image compressor which can reduce file size by up to 90% with no watermark.
What image formats can I crop?
JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC are all supported as input. Download the cropped result as JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF. You can also convert images to a different format or resize images after cropping using our other free tools.
Is this image cropper completely free with no watermark?
