Image Cropper, Rotator & Flipper (Online, In Your Browser)
Load an image and drag to crop the area you want. You can also rotate in 90° steps, flip horizontally or vertically, and lock an aspect ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. To change the size after cropping, try the Image Resizer.

Drag and drop an image here, or pick one with the button.
Preview
Drag on the preview to choose the crop area again (the bright part is what stays).
How to use
- Drag and drop an image file into the box, or pick one with the button.
- If needed, fix the orientation with "Rotate left", "Rotate right", "Flip horizontal", and "Flip vertical".
- Drag on the preview to choose the crop area. You can lock the shape with "Aspect ratio" and fine-tune with the numbers.
- Choose a "Format" and click "Download cropped image" to save it.
Notes
- Rotation and flipping apply to the image as you see it. Rotating resets the crop area to the whole image.
- "JPEG" cannot hold transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white. Choose "PNG" or "WebP" to keep transparency.
- For GIF and animated WebP, only the first frame is cropped.
- Images up to 16384 px per side and 50 million pixels in total can be loaded. The orientation stored in smartphone photos (EXIF) is applied automatically.
Glossary
Cropping
Keeping only part of an image and cutting away the rest. It is used to improve composition or hide unwanted areas.
Aspect ratio
The ratio of an image width to its height. 1:1 is a square and 16:9 is a widescreen shape. Profile pictures and thumbnails on social media often require a fixed ratio.
EXIF
Shooting information embedded in a photo. Smartphone photos store their orientation here, and the browser rotates them correctly for you.
FAQ
How do I set the crop area?
Drag on the preview and the area from the start point to the end point becomes the crop. For exact values, type them into "Left X", "Top Y", "Width", and "Height". "Select all" returns to the whole image.
Can I crop at a fixed ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9?
Yes. Pick a ratio under "Aspect ratio" and both dragging and the width and height fields keep that shape. It is handy for profile pictures (1:1) and video thumbnails (16:9).
Can I rotate or flip before cropping?
Rotation and flipping are applied to the image as shown in the preview, and then you choose the crop area. Each rotation resets the area to the whole image, so fix the orientation first and select the area afterward.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Saving as PNG keeps the pixels of the cropped area exactly. JPEG and WebP use compression, so a lower "Quality" gives a smaller file but a less accurate image.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping, rotating, and exporting all happen in your browser, and the image is never sent anywhere.
