About cropping to 16:9
Cropping to 16:9 trims the image to that aspect ratio, framing your subject for where it'll be used. The selected region is copied at full resolution, so quality is preserved.
Everything runs in your browser — your image never leaves your device. You can switch to a different ratio or free-form with the buttons above the image.
16:9 is the widescreen standard — video thumbnails, presentation slides, blog covers and every modern display. This crop locks the box to 16:9 so whatever you frame lands exactly at the broadcast shape, at the image's original resolution, ready for a resize to 1920 by 1080 or 1280 by 720 if a platform wants exact pixels.
Frequently asked questions
How do I crop an image to 16:9?
Add your image, drag the crop box (already locked to 16:9) to frame the part you want, and press crop. The result downloads instantly — all in your browser.
Can I change the aspect ratio?
Yes. 16:9 is preselected, but you can switch to free-form or another ratio with the buttons above the image.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser, so your image never leaves your device and nothing is stored online.
Will cropping reduce quality?
No. The selected region is copied at its original resolution, so the cropped image keeps its quality.
Does cropping to 16:9 change my image's resolution?
Cropping fixes the shape, not the pixel count — you keep the full resolution of the area inside the box. If a platform demands exact dimensions like 1920 by 1080, crop to 16:9 first, then resize; the two steps together avoid both distortion and unnecessary quality loss.
