Frequently Asked Questions

Is this image cropper free?

Yes — this is a completely free online image cropper and resizer. No account needed, no software to install, and no data uploaded. Crop and resize any image directly in your browser and export as PNG.

Do you upload my images to a server?

No. This tool runs 100% in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device — there is no upload, no cloud processing, and no server involved.

What image formats can I crop?

You can crop any image format your browser supports: PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, and more. The cropped image is always exported as PNG. For JPEG or WebP export, use the Captio Chrome extension.

Can I crop an image to a specific aspect ratio?

Yes. Choose from preset aspect ratios (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4) or use freeform crop to select any region. You can also pick social media presets like Instagram Post (1080×1080) or YouTube Thumbnail (1280×720) which set both the crop ratio and output size.

Can I resize an image to specific dimensions?

Yes. After cropping, you can set custom output dimensions in pixels. The lock icon keeps the aspect ratio consistent when you change one dimension. Social media presets automatically set the correct dimensions for each platform.

Is there a watermark on the cropped image?

The free online tool adds a small "Made with Captio" watermark in the corner. For watermark-free exports plus JPEG, WebP, and PDF formats, install the Captio Chrome extension.

What social media sizes are supported?

Built-in presets for Instagram Post (1080×1080), Instagram Story (1080×1920), Twitter Post (1200×675), Twitter Header (1500×500), Facebook Cover (820×312), Facebook Post (1200×630), LinkedIn Banner (1584×396), and YouTube Thumbnail (1280×720).

Does this work on Chromebook?

Yes. This image cropper works in any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave, Arc, and Opera — on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. No installation needed.

How is this different from the Captio extension?

This online tool gives you quick crop and resize for single images. The Captio Chrome extension adds gradient backgrounds, shadows, rounded corners, device mockups, 3D transforms, animations, and multi-format export — all running locally in your browser.

Can I use this as a profile picture cropper?

Yes. Select the 1:1 aspect ratio to crop a perfect square for profile pictures and avatars. Set the output size to match your platform — for example, 400×400 for most profile photos, or 1080×1080 for Instagram. The crop area stays perfectly square as you drag.

Do I need Photoshop to crop an image?

No. This free online crop tool handles the same basic image cropping and resizing that Photoshop does — without installing any software. Open the page, drop your image, select a crop area, and export. For simple crop and resize tasks, there is no need for desktop software.

Can I crop an image to a specific pixel size?

Yes. After selecting your crop area, enter exact width and height values in the output size fields. The lock icon lets you change one dimension while keeping the aspect ratio, or unlock it to set width and height independently.
