Crop an image to a square
Crop any photo to a perfect 1:1 square with a live preview. Drag the selection to frame it exactly how you want. Everything happens in your browser.
Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.
Why the square is everywhere
Profile pictures, product tiles, grid galleries, album covers — the 1:1 square is the web’s most demanded shape because it stacks perfectly into grids. Most platforms auto-crop rectangles to squares from the center, which routinely decapitates portraits; cropping yourself puts the frame where it belongs.
Drag the square, keep the pixels
The selection stays locked to 1:1 while you drag and resize it anywhere on the photo, with a live view of exactly what will export. The crop is cut from the original at full resolution — no scaling — so a square from a 4000px photo stays tack-sharp for any later use.
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).
