Cropping for Composition
Why Crop Your Images?
Cropping isn't just about making an image smaller; it's about composition and storytelling.
Improve Composition
Apply the "Rule of Thirds" by cropping your image so the subject sits on the intersection lines, creating a more balanced photo.
Remove Distractions
Cut out messy backgrounds, random strangers, or trash cans that ruin the aesthetic of your shot.
Change Aspect Ratio
Convert a landscape photo into a square for Instagram or a vertical portrait for TikTok without stretching it.

Using the wrong aspect ratio can result in your images being automatically cropped or pixelated by social platforms. Use our built-in presets to get it right every time.

Advanced Features: Rotation & Flip
Sometimes a photo is perfect, but the horizon is slightly tilted. Our Rotation Tool allows you to correct the angle by single degrees (0-360°) to get that perfectly straight horizon.
The Flip Tool (Mirroring) is essential for selfies. Phone cameras often flip selfies automatically, making text unreadable. Use the "Horizontal Flip" button to correct this instantly.
Circle Cropping for Profile Pictures
Most modern platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Gmail) use circular profile pictures. However, we upload square images. To ensure your face is perfectly centered and nothing important gets cut off by the circle border, use our Circle Crop mode. It overlays a circular mask so you can see exactly what the final result will look like.
