How to crop an image online to the exact size

Cropping an image lets you remove what's unnecessary, center the subject or fit it to a specific size (a profile picture, a cover, a banner). It's one of the quickest and most useful edits, and you don't need to install any program.

Steps to crop your image

• Open the crop image tool and upload your file.
• Set the crop area (position and size in pixels).
• Process and download the cropped image.

Cropping vs resizing

Cropping removes part of the image to change the framing; resizing keeps the whole image but changes its dimensions. If you just want it to weigh less without losing content, use the resize or compress tool.

Tips

• For profile pictures, crop to a square (same width and height).
• After cropping, you can compress the image so it weighs even less.
