How to use resize and crop
Choose Resize to scale the whole image to an exact width and height, with the lock icon keeping the original aspect ratio so it doesn't stretch. Choose Crop to drag a rectangle directly on the image and keep only that section. The quality slider controls how much the output is compressed — lower values produce a smaller file, higher values keep more detail.
When to resize vs. crop
Resize when you need an image to fit an exact space, like a profile picture requirement or a website banner size, without losing any part of the original composition. Crop when you want to remove unwanted edges, focus on a specific subject, or change the aspect ratio, such as turning a landscape photo into a square for social media.
Frequently asked questions
Can I resize and crop the same image in one session?
Yes. Switch between the Resize and Crop tabs as many times as you like before clicking 'Apply & preview' — for example, crop first, download that result, then re-upload it to resize separately.
What happens if I type a width but not a height?
With the aspect ratio lock enabled (the chain icon), entering a width automatically calculates a matching height that preserves the image's original proportions, and vice versa.
Why did my cropped image come out blurry?
This usually happens if the cropped selection is very small relative to the original image and is then displayed at a larger size elsewhere — cropping keeps the original resolution of the selected area, so a tiny crop will naturally have fewer pixels to work with.
Can I undo a crop selection and start over?
Yes, click 'Reset crop' at any time to clear your current selection and return to the full, uncropped image before making a new selection.
