Follow these simple steps to crop any image.

1. Upload Your Image: Click the Upload Image button and select a picture from your computer. You can also drag and drop an image file directly onto the page.

2. Choose a Size:

   • Presets: Click one of the preset buttons (like "Large Spotlight" or "Post Feed") to automatically set the dimensions. This is the easiest way to get started.

   • Custom Size: If you need a specific size, you can type the Width and Height into the input boxes.

3. Adjust the Crop: A dashed box will appear over your image. This is your crop area.

   • To move the box: Click inside the box and drag it to the perfect spot.

   • To resize the box: Click outside the box and drag it to the desired size. The box will always keep the correct proportions for the size you selected.

4. Process & Download:

   • Once you're happy with the position of the crop box, click the green Process Image button.

   • You will see a preview of your final, cropped image.

   • Click the blue Download Image button to save it to your computer. It will be saved with the same file name as the original, but with -resized added at the end.

   • Click the red Reset button to reset the tool, or simply upload a new image.

The tool is smart and will help you handle images of any size or proportions. Here’s what to expect.
 

Scenario 1: Your image’s porportions do not match the target proportions

If you upload an image that is very wide or very tall, and the target dimensions are for different proportions, you'll see a warning message for an “Aspect Ratio Mismatch.” You have two options:

• Crop Mode (Default): This mode places a cropping box over your image and allows you to drag it to position where to crop.  This is useful if you only want to use a specific part of the original image (e.g., just the person's face from a full-body photo).

• Fit Mode: Click this button if you want to see the entire image without cutting anything off. The tool will fit the full image in the frame and fill the empty space on the sides or top with a blurred version of your picture. This is great for ensuring nothing important gets cropped out.

Scenario 2: Your image is smaller than the target size

If you upload a small image and the target dimensions are very large, you will see a warning message that the “Image is Smaller Than Target.”

In this case, the tool will not crop the image. Instead, it will place your original, small image in the center and create a blurred background to fill the rest of the space. This prevents your small image from becoming stretched and pixelated.
