How to crop an image to 1:1

  1. Add your image. Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP or AVIF into the box above.
  2. The 1:1 ratio is already selected. Pick a focus point so the part of the frame you care about is the part that is kept.
  3. Download the cropped image. The picture is never stretched, only trimmed to shape.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop an image to 1:1?

Drop your image into the box above β€” the 1:1 ratio is already selected β€” pick a focus point (centre, top, bottom or a side), and download the cropped result. Nothing is uploaded.

What does a 1:1 crop mean?

A 1:1 aspect ratio means the width and height are kept in that proportion. The tool takes the largest 1:1 area that fits your image, so the picture is never stretched β€” only trimmed to shape.

Can I choose which part is kept?

Yes β€” the focus setting controls which part survives the crop. For portraits, "top" keeps heads in frame; for most other shots, "centre" works well.

Is my image uploaded?

No β€” cropping runs entirely in your browser and the file never leaves your device.

What a square (1:1) crop is for

A square (1:1) crop is the right shape for profile pictures, Instagram feed posts and thumbnails. Cropping to the correct aspect ratio before you upload means the platform displays your image the way you intend, instead of awkwardly cutting it off or adding bars around it.

Getting the framing right

Centre focus suits most subjects; switch to top focus for portraits so heads are not cut off.

The tool never stretches your photo β€” it finds the largest 1:1 region that fits and trims the rest, so people and objects keep their natural proportions. If a subject sits near an edge, switch the focus point so the crop keeps it in frame.

Need a different shape? The image cropper offers every ratio and a free custom crop. To set exact pixel dimensions instead of a ratio, use the resizer; to shrink the file afterwards, use the compressor.

Need a different crop ratio?

Each ratio below opens the same cropper with that shape already preset, so you only have to choose the focus point. Platforms rarely agree on a shape, so it is worth checking which one yours actually wants before you crop.
