About Crop Image to Square
Turn any photo into a square for a profile picture, an online shop or an Instagram post. Drag the square over the part you want to keep, then download it in the same format.
Cut away what you don't need and keep the part that matters. Crop freely, lock a ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9, or pick a ready-made size for Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube or LinkedIn and get exactly the pixels they ask for.
Cropping happens in your browser, so your photos stay on your device. HEIC photos from iPhones work too.

Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded?
No. The image is cropped on your device, in your browser. It never leaves your computer or phone.
What do the social media sizes do?
They lock the frame to the platform's shape and save the image at exactly the recommended size, for example 1080 × 1350 pixels for an Instagram portrait post.
How do I crop a circle?
Choose Circle as the shape. The result is saved as a PNG with transparent corners (WebP and AVIF keep transparency too), ready for a profile picture.
Does cropping reduce quality?
The pixels you keep aren't changed. JPG, WebP and AVIF are saved again at high quality; PNG stays lossless.
Can I use the keyboard?
Yes. Focus the frame and use the arrow keys to move it. Hold Shift to move it further.
