Save the result as PNG, JPG or WebP. The orientation from the EXIF data is applied on load, so phone photos appear the right way up.","The image stays in your browser and is not uploaded. To resize and compress many images, use the [[image-converter]]; to remove location data, use the [[exif-viewer]].",[9,10,11,12],"Drop an image onto the area or click to choose it.","Pick an aspect ratio or “Free” and rotate or flip the image if needed.","Move the frame and drag its corners until the area you want is selected.","Choose the format and download the cropped image.",[14,17,20,23],{"q":15,"a":16},"Does cropping reduce the image quality?","The selected area is kept at full resolution, nothing is upscaled. As PNG the result is lossless. JPG and WebP compress – at 85 to 95 % there is hardly any visible difference.",{"q":18,"a":19},"Which aspect ratio do I need for social media?","Profile pictures are square (1:1) almost everywhere. For Instagram posts use 1:1 or 4:5, for stories and reels 9:16, and for YouTube thumbnails and presentations 16:9.",{"q":21,"a":22},"Is EXIF data like the GPS location kept?","No. The image is redrawn and saved without metadata. Camera, date and location are no longer included in the result.",{"q":24,"a":25},"Can I rotate by any angle?","Currently 90-degree steps and horizontal and vertical flipping are available. This fixes sideways photos and mirrored selfies without cutting off corners.",1792065376328]
