What is CropTop?
CropTop is a free online tool to crop an image. Drop in a picture, pick a shape, drag the frame over the part you want to keep and download it. It works with JPG, PNG and WEBP files and never adds a watermark.
Choose a free crop or a ready-made aspect ratio: 1:1 square for Instagram and profile pictures, 4:5 for Instagram posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and slides, 9:16 for stories and status, or 3:2 for prints. The frame keeps its shape while you resize it, and the exact size in pixels shows as you go.
The crop is cut from your original picture at full resolution, right in your browser, so it stays as sharp as the photo you started with. Keep the same format or save it as JPG, PNG or WEBP. The picture is never uploaded, and saving the cropped image needs a free ToolClik account.

Questions about Crop Image
Is the image cropper free?
Yes. Every ratio and the free crop cost nothing, and there is no watermark. Downloading needs a free ToolClik account. Free handles pictures up to 50 MB; Pro, at $1.29 a month, takes files up to 2 GB.
How do I crop an image to a square?
Drop your picture, pick 1:1 and drag the frame over the part you want. Drag a corner to make the square bigger or smaller, then press Crop image.
What ratio should I use for a YouTube thumbnail?
Pick 16:9. YouTube recommends 1280 × 720 pixels, so if your crop is bigger, you can bring it to 1280 wide with the free Image Resizer.
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. The crop keeps your original pixels. PNG is saved lossless; JPG and WEBP are saved at 92% quality, which looks the same.
Are my pictures uploaded?
No. CropTop crops your picture in your browser on your own device. It is never sent to ToolClik.
