About Image Cropper
Crop, straighten, and export a photo without it ever leaving your browser.
What is Image Cropper?
Image Cropper trims a photo down to the ratio a placement actually needs, with a custom crop plus square, sixteen by nine, and four by five presets, a zoom control, and rotation across the full 360 degree range for straightening a crooked horizon. The file is read by your browser and exported from the same page, so it is never uploaded. It is for store operators, social teams, photographers, and content editors preparing images to a spec.
How it works
Upload an image
Choose a file from your device. It is loaded into the canvas locally and never sent to a server.
Choose an aspect ratio
Custom, square, sixteen by nine, or four by five, matched to where the image will be published.
Position and rotate
Zoom up to three times and rotate anywhere between minus 180 and 180 degrees to level the shot.
Export the crop
Pick PNG or JPG and download the cropped file directly from the page you are already on.
Perfect for
Who uses it: Store operators, social teams, photographers, and content editors.
Key features
Four crop ratios
A custom crop plus square, sixteen by nine, and four by five presets for the common placements.
Zoom up to three times
Push in on the part of the frame that matters instead of cropping and enlarging afterwards.
Full rotation range
Rotate through the whole 360 degree range to straighten a horizon or fix a tilted scan.
Runs on your device
The image is decoded and re-encoded in your browser. It is never uploaded to Pure Snap.
Live dimension readout
The output size is shown beside the preview, so you know exactly what you are downloading.
PNG or JPG output
PNG for crisp edges and transparency, JPG when the file needs to be as small as possible.
Tips for best results
- Start from the largest version of the photo you have, because cropping only ever removes pixels.
- Set the ratio before you position the frame, so the crop box does not jump under you.
- Straighten with the rotation slider first and crop second, or you will lose corners twice.
- Use four by five for feed posts, where the taller frame takes up more of the screen.
- Export as JPG for web pages and PNG when the image carries text or transparency.
Common questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The file is read straight into a canvas in your browser, cropped there, and downloaded from the same page. It never reaches a server.
How is it priced?
The applicable credit cost is shown before use. Cropping itself stays inside your browser.
Will cropping reduce quality?
Cropping removes pixels rather than degrading the ones that remain, but the result is smaller. Begin with the highest resolution source you have.
Which format should I export?
JPG for photographs going onto a web page, and PNG when the image carries text, hard edges, or transparency.
