Crop Image to Size.

Translate dimensions into an aspect ratio

Width divided by height describes the shape of your crop. A target of 1200 by 800 pixels has a 3:2 ratio. A target of 800 by 1200 is 2:3, which produces a portrait frame instead. Enter the values in the correct order, especially when working from a written layout specification.

Different dimensions can share one ratio. Both 1500 by 1000 and 900 by 600 use 3:2 proportions, so they can show the same composition at different resolutions. Custom sizes set the selection ratio; they do not simply squeeze the entire original photograph into a new rectangle.

Set up and export a precise crop

Use a preset when it matches your requirement, or enter custom dimensions for a specific proportion. The draggable, resizable selection stays at that ratio while you refine the framing.

1. Open the original image from your device. No server upload is required.
2. Choose a suitable preset or enter your target width and height to set a custom ratio.
3. Drag the selection to include the main subject, then resize it to keep useful context and remove distractions.
4. Select exact output if the saved file must match your entered pixel dimensions. Choose natural crop resolution if you only need the ratio.
5. Pick PNG or JPG for a rectangular crop, export, and verify the saved image’s dimensions and framing.

Choose between natural resolution and exact output

Natural crop resolution follows the pixel dimensions of the selected area in your source. A 3:2 selection covering 1800 by 1200 source pixels can therefore produce an 1800 by 1200 result. The requested ratio is preserved without necessarily matching a smaller pair of target dimensions.

Exact output resamples the selected area to the width and height you specify. Reducing that selection to 900 by 600 creates a smaller version of the same view. Increasing it to 3600 by 2400 creates more output pixels but cannot recover fine detail missing from the source. Prefer an adequately detailed original over aggressive enlargement.

Make the composition fit the requirement

A wide target can remove the top and bottom of a portrait, while a tall target can cut people from the sides of a group photograph. Before making small adjustments, identify the features that must remain visible. Resize the frame outward when possible, then move it to distribute the available space.

Leave intentional room in the direction a person faces or an object moves. If a layout will place text beside the subject, preserve a calm area of background within the crop. Check the edges for awkward partial objects and inspect small details at the intended viewing size, not only while zoomed into the editor.

Account for formats and cropping limits

PNG supports transparency; JPG does not. Choose PNG when transparent source areas must remain transparent. A standard rectangular crop does not remove a solid background by itself. Shape modes are different: circles and hexagons export only as PNG to preserve transparency outside their outlines.

Cropping cannot add scenery outside the original image or guarantee that every subject fits a requested ratio. If the frame cannot include everything important, reconsider the source or the target proportions. Pixel dimensions also do not by themselves define a physical print size; that depends on how the image is placed and printed.
