Which photos work?

Drop a photo anywhere on the page, paste one from the clipboard, or press Enter to browse.

Drop several at once, or a whole folder, and they stack up in name order — each one is cropped in turn, and the count under the photo tells you where you are.

JPG · PNG · WebP · HEIC* · AVIF* · GIF* · BMP*

*opens wherever your browser can decode it, and saves as JPG, PNG or WebP. An iPhone HEIC photo opens in Safari; other browsers say so and explain how to get a JPG. An animated GIF or WebP gives its first frame. Up to 80 megapixels and 150 MB per photo.

Three taps

From photo to perfect crop

  1. Choose a photo

    Tap the button, drop it on the page or paste it. It opens right here, straight away.

  2. Drag the frame

    Pick a shape or size, then move and resize the glowing frame until it looks right.

  3. Download

    Save your crop as JPG, PNG or WebP. No account, no waiting, no watermark.

Good to know: The Facebook cover preset is on. Switch to X, LinkedIn or YouTube under Destination; the hidden zone is drawn on the box.

Crop a photo, image or picture into a cover or banner that survives every screen. Pick Facebook cover (851×315), X header (1500×500), LinkedIn banner (1584×396) or YouTube channel banner (2560×1440), and the box locks to that shape with the part that gets covered or cut off drawn on it.

On Facebook the sides are trimmed on phones, so the centre that stays is marked. On X and LinkedIn the profile photo covers the lower left; LinkedIn moves it between desktop and phone, so that square is approximate. On YouTube only the centre 1546×423 shows on every device. The LinkedIn and YouTube sizes are the widely published figures from each help centre: confirm them there.

A video thumbnail: YouTube thumbnail crop. Instagram sizes: crop for Instagram. The whole photo with a border: no crop. Your avatar: PFP cropper.

Questions about cropping

What size is a Facebook cover photo?

This preset makes 851×315 pixels and marks the centre 640 pixels that stay visible when phones trim the sides.

What size is a YouTube channel banner, and what is the safe area?

2560×1440 pixels, of which only the centre 1546×423 shows on every device, phones included. That box is drawn on the crop: keep text and logos inside it. These are the widely published figures from YouTube Help; confirm them there.

What size is a LinkedIn banner?

1584×396 pixels, a 4:1 strip. The profile photo covers part of the lower left, and its exact spot differs between desktop and phone, so the square drawn there is approximate. Confirm the size on LinkedIn Help.

What size is an X (Twitter) header?

1500×500 pixels, 3:1, with the profile photo covering the bottom left, which is drawn on the crop.

Why does my banner look soft?

Banners are wide, so a crop from a normal photo often has fewer pixels across than the banner needs and is enlarged. The contract says by how much; a wider or larger photo gives a sharper banner.

Will the platform crop it again?

Each platform shows the banner differently on different screens. That is why the hidden zones are drawn: anything inside the safe area survives everywhere these sizes describe.
