More free image tools
Same quality bar. Still free. Still no upload.
Part of free Instagram tools, free LinkedIn tools and free X tools.
Your files never leave your device
Free to use, with no account, no usage limit and no watermark, because the work runs on your device rather than on our servers.
This is not a promise about how carefully we handle your upload. There is no upload. The file you choose is read into memory by your own browser, processed there, and handed back as a download — the tool has no server component and makes no network request with your data.
- Nothing is stored. We never receive the file, so there is no copy to retain, no retention period to disclose, and nothing to delete on request.
- Nothing is transmitted. No upload endpoint, no analytics payload carrying file contents, no third-party processor.
- You can verify it. Load this page, disconnect from the internet, and use the tool. It still works, because everything it needs is already on your machine.
- Nothing persists after you close the tab. Files are held in page memory only — not in local storage, not in a cache, not in a database.
A note on wording, because it matters: we do not describe these tools as “encrypted.” Encryption protects data that travels to somebody else's computer. Your file does not travel, so there is nothing to encrypt and nothing to intercept — which is a stronger guarantee than encryption, not a weaker one. The page itself is served over HTTPS like the rest of the site.
This makes the tools safe for material you are contractually barred from uploading to third-party services — client footage under NDA, unreleased campaign assets, anything covered by a confidentiality clause.
How it works
1. Open the image
Drop or paste a PNG, JPEG or WebP. Nothing is sent to a server.
2. Drag the crop box
Frame the keep area. Coordinates map back to the image's real width and height.
3. Export PNG
Download a lossless crop at full source resolution, ready for resize or publish.
Questions
Is this a free image cropper with no upload?
Yes. The crop runs on Canvas in your browser. The file stays on your machine and the export is offered as a local download.
Is the crop applied at full resolution?
Yes. The overlay is only a view. Coordinates are converted back to the image's natural width and height before drawing to canvas. Exporting a crop from a 4000px image gives you a crop of those pixels, not of however wide the preview happened to render.
Why is the export a PNG?
PNG is lossless, so the crop does not add compression on top of whatever the source already had. Re-encoding as JPEG would soften edges and invent artefacts that were not in the original. If you need a smaller JPEG afterwards, run the compressor on the crop.
Can I crop to a fixed aspect ratio like 1:1 or 16:9?
Not on this page: the box is free-form, and the readout under the preview shows the pixel size of your crop. For a fixed shape, crop roughly here, then open the image resizer. Its cover fit keeps the proportions and trims whatever does not fit a platform preset such as Reels or Instagram 4:5, or an exact size you type.
Can I crop a circle?
This cropper cuts rectangles only. For a round profile picture, use the profile picture maker's Crop and ring mode, which frames your photo in a circle without downloading any model.
Why is my cropped file bigger than the original?
The crop is saved as a PNG, which is lossless and usually larger than a JPEG of the same picture. If you need a small JPEG or WebP, run the crop through the image converter or the image compressor.

Everything on this page works on a file you already have, which is why it costs nothing. Generating something that did not exist (video from a prompt, a voice, a score) runs a model, and that costs credits.
