Crop an image to 16:9
Crop photos to the 16:9 widescreen ratio used by video and displays, with a live preview. Locked to the ratio so framing stays exact. Runs in your browser.
Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.
The widescreen standard
16:9 is the shape of screens: video frames, presentation slides, website heroes, TV displays and thumbnails. Photos rarely come that wide — phone cameras shoot 4:3 — so getting to 16:9 means deciding what vertical content to give up. A locked-ratio crop makes that decision explicit instead of accidental.
Frame it like a cinematographer
Drag the 16:9 window across the photo to choose which slice survives — sky or foreground, headroom or subject. The rule-of-thirds grid on the selection helps place horizons and faces. Output is cut at full source resolution in your browser, ready for slides or video work.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my image uploaded to crop it?
- No. Cropping, rounding corners, adding borders, rotating and straightening all run locally in your browser.
- Can I crop an image into a circle?
- Yes. Choose the Circle shape to crop to a circle (or an ellipse on non-square crops). The corners become transparent and the result is exported as a PNG so the circle stays clean on any background.
- Can I round the corners or add a border?
- Yes. Pick Rounded and set the corner radius, and add a border of any thickness and color. A live preview shows the exact result before you download.
- Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?
- Yes. Choose Free, 1:1, 4:5, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 or 9:16 and the crop selection snaps to that ratio.
- What format is the cropped image saved in?
- The original format is preserved where possible. Rounded and circle crops export as PNG so their transparent corners are kept (BMP is also saved as PNG).
