Crop PNG
Crop an image while keeping its transparent background fully intact.
Drag & drop a photo here, or click to browse
JPEG, PNG, or WebP
Cropping a PNG with a transparent background — a logo, a cut-out graphic, a sticker — can go wrong if the tool you use quietly re-encodes the result as JPEG, which has no way to represent transparency and flattens it to a solid color instead. This page exists specifically to avoid that: whatever shape you crop, the download is always a genuine PNG with its alpha channel intact, so transparent areas stay transparent. Drag to select the region you want, adjust the aspect ratio if needed, and download — the transparency in your original file carries straight through to the result. As with every tool here, cropping happens entirely in your browser via Canvas; your image is never uploaded to a server.
How it works
- 1
Upload a PNG (or any image).
- 2
Drag and zoom to select the crop area, and pick an aspect ratio if you need one.
- 3
Click "Crop Image" and download — the result is always a transparency-preserving PNG.
Frequently asked questions
Why not just use the regular crop tool for a PNG?
You can, but this page forces PNG output specifically. Some crop tools (including the general rectangular crop elsewhere on this site) default to JPEG, which has no alpha channel — any transparent areas in your source PNG would get flattened to a solid color. This page always downloads a true PNG, so transparency survives the crop.
Does this work on photos without transparency too?
Yes — it works on any image. PNG output just guarantees that if your source does have a transparent background (like a logo or a sticker), that transparency is preserved in the cropped result.
Is there a size penalty for using PNG instead of JPEG?
PNG files are typically larger than JPEG for photographic content, since PNG compression is lossless. For images with transparency or flat graphics (logos, screenshots, illustrations), the difference is usually small.
