About cropping to square
Cropping to square 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.
Square is the shape of profile pictures, grid thumbnails and product shots, and cropping — unlike resizing — never distorts: you choose which part of the image survives at full original resolution. Drag the box, keep the 1:1 lock on, and the subject stays perfectly proportioned.
Frequently asked questions
How do I crop an image to square?

Can I change the aspect ratio?
Yes. square 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.
What resolution does the square crop come out at?
