Image Cropper
Crop any photo by dragging a box, or lock it to a ratio like 1:1 for Instagram or 16:9 for YouTube. Your image never leaves your device.
🔒 Your files never leave your device. This tool runs entirely in your web browser. Nothing is uploaded to ToolsCloset or anyone else, so it’s safe for private photos, recordings and videos.

Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. Cropping keeps the original pixels of the area you choose. Saving as PNG is lossless; JPG and WebP are saved at high quality.
Can I crop on my phone?
Yes. Drag the box and its corners with your finger.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Cropping happens in your browser.
