How to crop and rotate an image

STEP 1

Add a photo

Drop it on the box above or pick it from your files.

STEP 2

Drag the box

Move it, pull the corners, or choose a shape like square or passport and the box snaps to it.

STEP 3

Save it

You get a new file at the size shown under the picture. Your original is untouched.

Getting a passport or visa photo right

Most photo requirements are a shape plus a size: a 35 by 45 millimetre print, or an exact pixel count for an online form. Crop to the shape first using the passport preset, then use the resize tool to hit the exact pixels the form is asking for.

Use quarter-turn rotation for a sideways picture or a flip to mirror it, then choose the crop. This tool cannot straighten a slightly tilted horizon or correct perspective.

Cropping keeps a selected region, but the result is exported from a canvas. JPG and WebP are encoded again; retain the original and inspect the saved detail.

Questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The work happens inside this tab, on your own machine. Open your browser's network tab while you use the tool, there is no request carrying your file.

Is there a file size limit?

Practical limits depend on the tool, browser and available device memory. Large files can fail even when no explicit limit is shown. Keep an original and use a smaller job if this device cannot finish it.

Do I need an account?

No, and there is no daily limit either. There is nothing to sign up for.

Can I crop to an exact pixel size?

Crop to the shape you want here, then use the resize tool to set the exact width and height.

Does cropping lose quality?

It removes image edges. JPG and WebP exports are also re-encoded and can change detail; keep the original.

Shapes, handles and turning

Pick a shape: free, square, 4 to 3 landscape, 3 to 4 portrait, 16 to 9 widescreen or passport proportion 35 to 45. Drag the box and its corner handles, and the pixel size of the crop is shown as you go. You can also turn the picture left or right and flip it across or down before you crop.

The turn and the flip are applied first and the crop after, so what you see in the preview is what is saved. The default box covers most of the picture and sits in the middle, so you only need to adjust it.

What happens when you save

The cropped picture is drawn again and saved in the same type as the original, with PNG and WebP staying as they are and other types saved as JPG at high quality. Because it is re-encoded, a saved crop cannot be undone, so keep your original. Camera details such as the location are not carried across.

There is no way to type exact dimensions in the crop box. If you need an exact pixel size, crop to the right shape here first and then set the size with Resize image. That order avoids stretching the picture.
