Crop & Rotate Image · free & private
Crop to any ratio or exact pixel size, rotate, flip, straighten, or cut a circle for a profile picture. All in your browser.
Drag inside the box to move it, drag the edges or corners to resize, drag outside to draw a new box. Arrow keys nudge (Shift ×10, Alt resizes).

Crop to an exact size for Instagram, YouTube or a banner
The Exact size entries in the Ratio list lock the box to the right shape and save the image at exactly that many pixels, for example 1080 × 1350 for an Instagram portrait post or 1280 × 720 for a YouTube thumbnail. For any other size, type a width or height into Output size; the other side follows the crop so nothing is stretched.
Rotate, flip and straighten
The 90° buttons fix sideways phone photos without any quality loss in the crop maths. Flip mirrors the picture, which is handy for selfies and scanned slides. Straighten turns the photo by as little as 0.1° to level a horizon; the crop box shrinks to the largest area with no empty corners. If you drag the box past the photo's edge anyway, the gap is filled with the colour you choose under Empty areas.
Circle crop for profile pictures
Set Shape to Circle and the ratio to 1:1 for a round avatar. Save as PNG or WebP to keep the corners transparent; JPG has no transparency, so the corners get the background colour instead.
Is it really private?
Yes. There is no upload and no account. The photo is decoded and re-encoded in your browser tab, and you can watch the network tab to confirm that no request carries it. Because the file is re-encoded, the EXIF data (GPS location, camera, capture time) is not carried into the saved copy.
Will cropping reduce quality?
Cropping only throws pixels away, so PNG output is pixel-exact. JPG and WebP are re-compressed at the quality you pick; 90% or higher is hard to tell apart from the original. Downscaling to an output size uses step-by-step high-quality resampling to avoid jagged edges.
Why can't it open my HEIC photo?
Only Safari can decode HEIC natively. In other browsers, convert it first with the HEIC to JPG tool, which also runs locally.
