Free image cropper.

Cropping an image is the process of getting rid of certain portions of the image while keeping the other regions intact. Many word processing tools have a crop image tool but if you want to retain the quality of your image online, you should only use a professional crop image tool like ours.

Depending on how and where you want to use your image, you may not be able to use it in its entirety. In such cases, cropping your image becomes a must. You should crop pictures if you want to use a portion of your image, e.g. cropping yourself out of a group photo.

Cropping also allows you to declutter your image and draw attention to what’s important.

Start by uploading your image online to Colorcinch and navigate to the Crop option in the Edit menu.

If you’re cropping for a specific purpose or social media site, choose a template in the Aspect Ratio dropdown menu. Otherwise, you can use the Freeform crop image option to crop pictures as per your liking. You can easily crop any photo, whether it is in a jpg or png format.

A freeform crop allows you to crop the photo in whatever aspect ratio or proportion you need without any restrictions. The length and width proportions are decoupled when using the freeform crop.

When resizing an image, its content remains intact and does not get clipped. On the other hand, when cropping an image, certain portions of the image get cut out.

Resizing an image by using the crop tool will result in certain portions of the image being clipped.

If you’re looking to simply change the dimensions of an image, try the image resizer tool instead.

Our crop tool includes templates for most major social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.

Furthermore, for each social media site you’ll find dozens of templates for various specific purposes (e.g. profile pictures, cover photos, thumbnails, print, etc.).

The image cropper supports JPG/JPEG (the most commonly used extension for photos), BMP, PNG, and GIF file formats.
