Free Image Cropper Online — Aspect Ratio, Rotate & Download

Social posts, YouTube thumbnails, and product cards all need the right frame. A free image cropper online cuts the photo to 1:1, 16:9, Stories size, or a freehand box — without Photoshop.

CashPilot’s Image Cropper runs in your browser. We rate crop accuracy about Quality ~95/100: the pixels you keep stay sharp; we only cut what you select.

Pair it with Image Filters when you need greyscale, blur, or brighten after cropping.

Why use an online image cropper?

People searching for crop image online usually need:

• Instagram square (1:1) or Reels/Stories (9:16)
• YouTube / LinkedIn widescreen (16:9)
• Passport-style or portrait frames without a separate app
• A clean PNG cutout for slides, blogs, and ecommerce

Fixed ratios stop “almost square” mistakes. Free selection is there when the subject is off-center.

Step-by-step: crop a photo free

1. Open the free Image Cropper.
2. Upload your image (or replace if you already loaded one).
3. Choose Aspect ratio — start with 1 : 1 for Instagram or 16 : 9 for YouTube.
4. Drag to reframe, use Zoom, and Rotate 90° if needed.
5. Pick PNG or JPG, then Download cropped image.
6. Optional: open Image Filters for greyscale, blur, or color tweaks.

Tip: for logos with transparency, export PNG. For photos meant for web, JPG at ~90% keeps files smaller.

Best uses (and honest limits)

Great for

• Trimming screenshots and product photos
• Preparing images before PNG → SVG or WebP bulk convert

Not for

• Magically removing backgrounds (that needs a separate remover tool)
• Cartoon / AI style transfer
• Editing PDF page layouts (use CashPilot PDF tools instead)
