This crops an image by letting you drag a bounding box over it - free-form or locked to a preset ratio (1:1, 16:9, 4:3) - with rotate, flip, and zoom controls to line the shot up first. Unlike resizing, cropping removes everything outside the box rather than stretching the whole frame; the result downloads as a PNG.

When you'd use this

Cutting a photo down to a specific platform ratio (a square for a profile picture, 16:9 for a video thumbnail) without squashing the subject, or trimming unwanted background, a stray edge, or someone else in frame out of a shot before sharing it.

Straightening a photo that was shot at an angle - rotate it 90° at a time and flip it horizontally or vertically before drawing the crop box, so the exported image is both level and cropped in one pass.

Common errors

Switching aspect ratio presets after you've already positioned the crop box snaps the box to the new ratio, which can shift its position - it's more predictable to pick the ratio first, then fine-tune the box.

Flip is a toggle, not a free rotation: clicking it mirrors the image, and clicking it again restores the original orientation. There's no partial-flip or free-angle rotate - only fixed 90° left/right turns.
