Crop Image to a Rectangle

How to crop an image to a rectangle

1. Add your image by dropping, browsing or pasting it.
2. Choose an aspect ratio. 16:9 is selected by default; tap another or choose Custom W×H and type your size, for example 1200 × 628.
3. Drag and zoom the photo inside the frame. Rotate by 90° to switch a sideways phone photo upright.
4. Pick an output size and download. With a custom ratio you can choose Exact W×H to get those pixel dimensions exactly.

Aspect ratio cheat sheet

Platforms adjust their recommended sizes now and then; the ratio matters more than the exact pixels, because apps scale images down to fit.

Crop to an exact size in pixels

Forms, job portals and website builders often demand an image of a precise size. Choose Custom W×H, type the width and height, then select Exact W×H as the output size. The frame takes that shape, you choose what fits inside, and the downloaded file has exactly those dimensions. If you only need a ratio, leave the size on “Original resolution” to keep maximum detail.

Tips

• Use the Original ratio to straighten a photo and trim edges without changing its proportions.
• Add a thin border to screenshots so white pages don't blend into a white document.
• Need rounded edges on the rectangle? Use the rounded corner image tool with the same ratios.
• For DPI-aware print exports and PDF output use the image cropper with DPI export; for social packs use the social image resizer.
