Image Cropper Features

  • Your image is cropped locally in your browser and does not need to be uploaded to a server.
  • Use a freeform crop, preserve the original proportions, or choose a common preset aspect ratio.
  • Create a flexible rectangular crop, a fixed square crop, or a round image for avatars and profile pictures.
