Crop a Photo to Exact Pixels

Type the numbers instead of dragging. Width and Height are the output size in pixels — enter 400 and 400 — and X and Y place the top-left corner of that box, measured from the top-left of the image. The selection on the preview follows the numbers as you type, so you can nudge X and Y until the box sits over the part you want without ever losing the exact 400×400 size.

Yes — that is the point of the four number fields. Dragging is there for framing by eye, but every crop is ultimately defined by pixel values, and you can type them directly or correct the ones a drag produced. Nothing forces you to accept whatever size the mouse landed on.

Cropping only removes pixels, so it can never produce an image bigger than the region you selected. Crop to the correct proportions here first, then resize to the exact dimensions. Do it in that order: resizing first discards detail you were about to crop into.

The cropped region is copied at the original resolution, pixel for pixel. Only if you export a JPG or WebP is one round of standard compression applied — the same as saving from any editor.

Crop to a square here first; circular masking is applied by the site where you upload the avatar — virtually all profile-photo systems mask squares to circles automatically.

No. The preview, the selection, and the crop all happen in your browser. The image never leaves your device.

They are the coordinates of the crop box's top-left corner, counted in pixels from the top-left corner of the image. X = 0, Y = 0 is the very corner of the original; increasing X moves the box right and increasing Y moves it down. Width and height then extend from that point.

Use the 1:1 preset and position the selection over the subject. Framing it yourself is safer than letting the platform crop automatically, which usually centres regardless of where the face is.

Saving a JPG re-encodes it, which costs a little quality once. Choosing PNG or WebP as the output avoids further lossy compression if the image will be edited again later.

Work through them one at a time using the same preset or the same entered dimensions, so every output matches.

Load the picture, drag a selection or type the exact width, height and position, and download. There is no cost, no watermark and no account, and the photo is not uploaded — it is cropped in your browser at its native resolution.

Drag a selection over the picture; the numbers update as you go, so you can frame it by eye and then fine-tune the values before downloading. Turn a ratio preset off first if you want an arbitrary shape.

The kept area is unchanged by the crop itself, but saving a JPG re-encodes it once. That single pass is invisible; what causes visible degradation is repeating it. Export to PNG or WebP instead if the image will be edited again afterwards.

Yes, as long as you export to PNG or WebP. The crop removes pixels without filling anything, so the alpha channel survives. Choosing JPG as the output is what fills transparent areas, usually with white, because JPG has no transparency.

Yes — use the same preset or the same typed dimensions on each in turn and every result matches. The tool applies your frame; it does not locate the subject in each picture, so the images need to be composed similarly for one frame to suit them all.

Crop first. That keeps the maximum available detail in the part you are keeping, and lets you resize the result to the exact target afterwards. Resizing first throws away pixels you were about to crop into.
