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).
