Freehand Crop
Crop a photo to any custom ratio you choose — not locked to a preset.
Drag & drop a photo here, or click to browse
JPEG, PNG, or WebP
Most crop tools force you into a handful of preset shapes, but sometimes you need something in between — a slightly wider frame for a banner, a slightly taller one for a specific layout, or just the photo's own natural proportions with the edges trimmed. This tool lets you type in any custom width-to-height ratio and then drag and zoom freely within that frame to pick exactly what stays in the shot. It's the same underlying crop tool used across this site's other cropping pages, just without a locked-in aspect ratio, so you have full control over the final shape. Everything happens locally in your browser — your photo is never uploaded to a server, and you can preview the exact crop before downloading.

Frequently asked questions
What does "freehand" mean here if I still enter a ratio?
You're not locked into a preset like 1:1 or 16:9 — type any width-to-height ratio you want (or leave it at the photo's own proportions) and drag freely inside that frame to choose exactly what's included.
Can I zoom in while cropping?
Yes — the zoom slider lets you get in closer before finalizing the crop, useful when the part you want is a small section of a larger photo.
What format is the cropped result?
The download is a JPEG file at the exact pixel dimensions of the area you cropped.
