How do I crop an image online?

Drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP on this cropper, move the frame, crop, and download. Nothing is uploaded to RootoverZero for this step.

Does the download use the preview size?

No. The preview can be scaled to fit the screen. The crop maps back to the original width and height.

Can I crop to a square or 16:9?

Yes. Use 1:1 or 16:9. The frame keeps that ratio while you move or resize it.

Does cropping reduce quality?

The cut itself does not compress. Saving as JPG encodes once and is lossy. Saving as PNG can keep the cropped pixels lossless.

Will transparent PNG stay transparent?

Yes if you keep PNG or WebP. JPG cannot keep transparency; you pick a fill color.

Can I crop several images at once?

Not in this version. One image at a time.

For this page, yes in the sense that the file is processed in the browser and is not sent to RootoverZero to be cropped.

What if I have an iPhone HEIC?

Convert with HEIC to JPG first, then crop the JPG — or export JPG/PNG from the phone and crop that file.
