Why crop with pixel precision?
Most cropping tools make you drag a handle and eyeball the result. That works for casual use, but when you need a specific region cut at exact coordinates for a CMS, API, or design system requirement, drag-to-crop is frustrating. This tool lets you type in exact X, Y, width, and height values so the output is always precisely what you specify.
Precise cropping is essential for creating consistent thumbnails, extracting specific regions from diagrams and screenshots, and producing crops that meet exact dimension requirements for social media profiles, app store listings, or editorial layouts.
You can also use precise cropping to remove UI chrome from screenshots, cut out a specific chart from a report image, or standardize a batch of product photos to a uniform crop position.
Crop precisely in three steps

Upload your image
Drag the image onto the tool or click to browse. A preview appears showing the full image with its dimensions.
Set crop coordinates
Enter X (left offset), Y (top offset), Width, and Height in pixels. The preview helps you estimate the right values.
Download cropped image
Click Crop and download. The output uses the same format as your input.
Tips for precise image cropping
X and Y start from the top-left
X=0, Y=0 is the top-left corner of the image. X increases to the right, Y increases downward.
Crop to aspect ratios with specific dimensions
For a 1:1 square crop, set Width and Height equal. For 16:9, use dimensions like 1920x1080 or 800x450.
The output format matches the input
JPEG inputs produce JPEG crops, PNG inputs produce PNG crops. If you need a specific output format, convert first.
Out-of-bounds coordinates are clamped
If your crop area extends beyond the image edge, it is automatically clamped to the image boundary. Check the output if cropping near edges.
Use after rotation for best results
If your image needs rotating, do that first and then crop. Cropping a sideways image rarely gives you the region you actually want.
Frequently asked questions
What are X and Y coordinates?
X is the distance in pixels from the left edge of the image. Y is the distance from the top. Both start at 0 at the top-left corner.
What is the output format?
The output uses the same format as your input. JPEG inputs produce JPEG output, PNG inputs produce PNG output, etc.
Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?
Yes. Set the width and height to match your desired ratio. For example, 1080x1080 gives a 1:1 square, and 1920x1080 gives a 16:9 widescreen crop.
Is my image private and secure?
Your images are processed securely and stay private. They are never shared or stored anywhere.
