How do I crop and rotate an image with img-tools?

Drop or paste your JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF image onto the page, pick an aspect-ratio preset (Free, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, or 3:2), then drag the corner and edge handles to frame the crop. Use the Rotate or Flip buttons if needed, then click Export to download just the cropped region as JPEG, PNG, or WebP. It is completely free and runs in your browser via the Canvas API, so nothing is ever uploaded.

Is the Image Crop & Rotate tool free?

Yes — cropping, rotating, and flipping images is completely free, forever. No account, no sign-up, and no limit on how many images you edit. All crop and rotate operations run in your browser using the Canvas 2D API; your images are never sent to any server. The site is ad-supported.

Are images uploaded to a server?

Absolutely not. All crop, rotate, and flip operations run entirely in your browser; images never leave your device.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The tool uses the Canvas 2D API and requires no network connection. Load the page once, then disconnect — it still works.

What image formats are supported?

Input: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF (browser-native decode), GIF, BMP, TIFF. Output: JPEG, PNG, WebP.

Can I crop freely without an aspect-ratio constraint?

Yes. Select "Free" mode and drag any edge or corner handle to any shape you need, with no ratio constraints.

How can I crop precisely?

After clicking the SVG overlay, use arrow keys to nudge the crop box 1 px at a time; hold Shift to move 10 px per press.

What happens to the crop box after rotating?

After each rotate or flip, the crop box resets to cover the full canvas so you can re-select a crop region in the new orientation.

Is there a maximum file or resolution limit?

No artificial limit. The practical cap comes from your device's available memory; most images up to several tens of MB can be handled. Very large images may take longer to process.

Will cropping reduce image quality?

Choose PNG output for lossless quality. For JPEG or WebP, adjust the quality slider in the export dialog to control compression.

Image Crop & Rotate

Crop & Rotate Image is a free browser-based tool that lets you drag a crop rectangle and snap to common aspect ratios — 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2, or Free — then rotate 90° or flip horizontally/vertically. A rule-of-thirds overlay aids composition. Everything runs via the Canvas 2D API on your device; no upload, no account, works offline.

Crop, rotate, and flip images right in your browser — free, instant, no upload required.

100% Free — Forever. No fees, ever.
Private: files are processed locally in your browser and never sent to a server.
No upload, no account, no sign-up.

Open the tool
Go to the Crop & Rotate page. No sign-up, plugin, or installation required.
Load your image
Drag and drop an image onto the upload zone, click to browse, or paste with Ctrl+V / Cmd+V. JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and more are accepted.
Select an aspect-ratio preset
Choose Free (unconstrained), 1:1 (square), 4:3, 16:9, or 3:2. The crop rectangle snaps to that ratio automatically.
Adjust the crop rectangle
Drag the corner or edge handles to resize, or drag inside the box to move it. Use arrow keys to nudge precisely; hold Shift for 10-pixel steps.
Rotate or flip (optional)
Use the Rotate Left / Rotate Right buttons to rotate 90°, or Flip Horizontal / Flip Vertical to mirror the image. Each operation resets the crop to the full canvas.
Export and download
Click Export / Download, choose your format (JPEG, PNG, WebP) and quality, then click Download. Only the cropped region is saved.

Cropping is one of the most common image editing operations — it removes unwanted borders, shifts compositional focus, or adjusts an image to a platform-required aspect ratio (e.g. 16:9 for video, 1:1 for social media).
The EXIF Orientation tag (0x0112) records the camera angle at capture; modern browsers' createImageBitmap() automatically applies it, so this tool already sees correctly oriented images before any rotation.
A 90° rotation via Canvas 2D ctx.rotate() combined with ctx.translate() executes in the GPU-accelerated drawing pipeline — no pixel-by-pixel computation required.
WebP achieves 25–35% smaller files than JPEG at equivalent visual quality — source: Google WebP study (developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/webp_study). Ideal for cropped output to save storage.
This tool uses an SVG overlay to render the crop box and a rule-of-thirds grid, providing visual composition guidance while adjusting the crop rectangle.
