What does the Image Cropper do?
Select a preset ratio such as 1:1 for profile pictures, 4:5 for Instagram portrait posts, 9:16 for Stories and Reels, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails or 1.91:1 for link-sharing images, then drag on the image to choose the area. You can also type exact X, Y, width and height values for pixel-perfect crops.
The crop is taken from the full-resolution original, not the on-screen preview, so no quality is lost.
