Why Crop Your Images?
Cropping is the most fundamental tool in photography. It allows you to remove distractions, change the aspect ratio, and improve the overall composition of a shot. Whether you are a social media manager trying to fit a photo into an Instagram square, or a student preparing a passport photo, our Online Image Cropper makes it effortless.
Unlike complex desktop software like Photoshop, our tool runs directly in your browser, works on mobile, and requires no account.

Social Media Size Guide (2025)
Pro Tip: Always use the correct Aspect Ratio. If you upload a horizontal photo to TikTok (9:16), the app will auto-crop it, potentially cutting off important details.
Recommended Dimensions
| Platform | Post Type | Aspect Ratio | Size (px) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square Post | 1:1 | 1080 x 1080 | |
| Portrait | 4:5 | 1080 x 1350 | |
| TikTok | Video / Story | 9:16 | 1080 x 1920 |
| YouTube | Thumbnail | 16:9 | 1280 x 720 |
| Profile Pic | 1:1 (Circle) | 400 x 400 |
The Rule of Thirds
When cropping, try to align your subject along the "Rule of Thirds" grid lines. Placing the focal point (like eyes in a portrait) at the intersection of these lines creates a more balanced and visually appealing image than simply centering it.
