What cropping is for

Cropping removes the edges of a photo so it fits a new shape. Every platform has a favourite shape: square for profile pictures, 4:5 for Instagram portrait posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails, 9:16 for Stories. If you upload a different shape, the platform crops for you, and it usually cuts off the top of someone’s head.

How to do it here

  1. Choose a preset in the Socials deck, or set your own width × height in Pixels.
  2. Drop your photo. The bright box shows the crop; drag it (or use arrow keys) to frame your subject.
  3. Hit Repixel it ✨ and download the exact crop.

Tips for a good crop

  • Leave headroom. On portraits, keep a little space above the head. Cutting through the forehead looks awkward.
  • Mind the safe zone. Stories and Reels cover the top and bottom with buttons. Keep faces and text in the middle.
  • Crop from the original. A photo that was already cropped by WhatsApp has fewer pixels to work with.
  • Think about thumbnails. Small previews make faces tiny; crop tighter for profile pictures.

Using the keyboard

The crop box works without a mouse. Press Tab until the box on the canvas is focused, then use the arrow keys to move it. Screen readers announce the position, so you always know what will be kept.

Crop first, then shrink the file

Some sites have both a shape and a file-size limit, for example a square profile photo under 100 KB. Use KB size with the limit and type the shape’s size in its optional exact pixels boxes: the studio crops to that size and finds the best quality under the limit. The Verified badge confirms both the pixel size and the exact byte count before you download.

What happens to the cut-off parts

They’re simply not included in the new file. Your original photo is untouched on your device, so you can always crop it differently later. Nothing is uploaded at any point.

FAQ fr

How do I choose which part of the photo is kept?

Drag the bright box on the canvas, or use the arrow keys when it's focused. The darker area is what gets cut off.

Can I crop without resizing?

Yes. Type your photo's own width and the height you want, or use a ratio preset. The studio only removes the edges you don't need.

Why can't I drag the box?

When the target shape matches your photo's shape, nothing needs cropping, so there's nothing to drag. Pick a different shape to see the box.

Does cropping lower the quality?

Cropping itself doesn't. Saving as JPG compresses slightly, which you won't notice. Save as PNG if you need the exact pixels.
