      Rotate and flip

      Phone photos sometimes come out sideways. Use the rotate buttons to turn the picture by 90 degrees. Use the flip buttons to mirror it. A mirrored selfie often looks more natural to you. The crop box resets after each turn so it always fits.

      Tips for a better crop

      • Use the grid lines. Place the subject’s eyes or the main object near a line.
      • Leave a little space in the direction a person is looking.
      • For product photos, crop to 1:1 and keep a small, even border.
      • Crop before you compress. Removing empty space makes files smaller.

      Frequently asked questions

      How do I crop an image into a square?

      Pick 1:1 square in the Aspect ratio box. Move the box over the area you want and press Crop and save.

      Does cropping lower the quality?

      No. Cropping only removes the edges. The pixels you keep stay the same. Save as PNG if you want zero compression.

      Can I crop a photo on my phone?

      Yes. You can drag the box and its corners with your finger.

      Can I crop a screenshot?

      Yes. Choose Free and draw the box around the part you need. Save it as PNG to keep the text sharp.

      Are my photos uploaded?

      No. All cropping happens in your browser.

      Final thoughts

      A good crop can turn an ordinary photo into a strong one. It removes clutter and puts the focus where it belongs. It also makes the picture fit the place it is going, such as a square post or a wide YouTube thumbnail. This crop image tool gives you the common ratios in one menu. You can rotate and flip as well.

      Use the grid lines to place your subject. Pick the ratio that matches where the picture will appear. Then save it in JPG, PNG or WebP. Everything happens on your own device, so even private photos stay private. When you need an exact pixel size, resize the cropped image afterwards.
