How to use this page
- Choose an image and read its width and height in the original panel.
- Set X from the left and Y from the top, then the crop width and height in pixels.
- Crop, check the preview, and download. Coordinates start at zero.
Worked example: a 400 × 400 face crop from a 1600 × 1200 photo
If the face sits near the centre, try X 600, Y 200, width 400, height 400, then adjust. For a social square it is often easier to use a platform size page with crop-to-fill once you know the subject is centred.
What this job is for
A crop that runs past the image edge is clamped to the real pixels. The tool will not invent a border.
Useful limits
Crop does not change resolution of the remaining area. To make the crop larger or smaller as a whole image, resize the cropped download.
The live tool behind this page is Image Cropper. It is the same local engine as the rest of Image Cosmos.
Frequently asked questions
Is X measured from the right?
No. X is from the left; Y is from the top.
Crop or resize for a square?
Crop (or a cover fit) to choose the square, then resize if you still need a different pixel count.
Is cropping uploaded?
No. The rectangle is cut in the browser.
