Image Cropper

About this tool

The Image Cropper takes any image your browser can read and gives you full control over the final result. Drag the crop frame to choose what stays, snap to a common aspect ratio, then pick the output shape: a clean rectangle, a rounded square, a perfect circle, an oval, or a pill. You can rotate, flip, color-grade, add a styled caption, and blur out anything that should not be in the final picture.

Most online image editors run your photos through a server. This one does not. Your image never leaves the browser, the cropping and rendering happen on your own GPU and CPU, and the result downloads straight to your device.

What you can control

• Crop frame. Drag the frame, drag any corner or edge handle to resize, or set exact pixel dimensions. Aspect-ratio chips snap to 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9, 4:3, and 3:2 for social and print presets.
• Output shape. Rectangle, rounded rectangle (with a corner-radius slider), circle, oval, or pill. Circle forces a 1:1 crop automatically. Pill always uses fully rounded ends.
• Rotate and flip. Quick 90 degree rotation either direction, plus horizontal and vertical mirror.
• Filters. Brightness, contrast, saturation, blur, and a grayscale toggle. Apply lightly for color correction, or push them for stylized looks.
• Text overlay. Multi-line caption with font, size, color, and an optional black outline. Drag the text anywhere on the image to position it.
• Blur regions. Add a rectangle to blur out faces, license plates, document numbers, or anything else you do not want in the final image. Multiple regions, each draggable and resizable.
• Auto face blur. Detects faces using your browser's built-in face detector when available, and adds a blur region for each face it finds.
• Border and background. Frame the result with a colored border, and pick the background color that fills any area outside a non-rectangular shape.

Common uses

• Make a circular profile picture sized for a chat app, social network, or directory listing.
• Crop a screenshot down to the relevant area before pasting into a doc, a chat, or a presentation.
• Blur out a stranger's face, a name tag, or a license plate before sharing a photo publicly.
• Add a caption to a product photo, a meme, or a quick visual update for a team channel.
• Frame a hero image with a colored border to fit a brand style guide.
• Quickly resize a wide photo to a 4:5 portrait crop for Instagram or a 9:16 crop for a story.

Tips

• For a social profile picture, pick the Circle shape. The crop frame snaps to 1:1 so the face stays centered.
• If you want a transparent background around a circle or rounded shape, export as PNG. JPG always fills the corners with the chosen background color.
• The blur amount slider controls every blur region at once. Bump it up for stronger anonymization on small faces.
• Use the corner-radius slider with a Rounded shape to dial in anything from a soft 8 px to a stadium-shaped pill.

Everything works without an account, without a watermark, and without the privacy compromise of uploading personal photos to a server you do not control.
