How do I crop a photo for a profile picture or a square Instagram post?
Upload your image, select "Square (1:1)" in the "Aspect Ratio" list, position the crop frame over the area you want, and click "Crop & Download".
Which aspect ratio should I use for a video thumbnail or website banner?
Use 16:9 for video (YouTube thumbnails, banners); 4:3 is often better for classic photos and print materials. Both are available in the "Aspect Ratio" dropdown.
Can I crop a photo without losing quality?
The cropper cuts out the selected area without recompressing — quality depends only on the source file and the chosen output format (PNG is lossless, JPG uses adjustable compression).
Which aspect ratio to choose
| Ratio | Common use |

| 1:1 (square) | Profile pictures, Instagram posts, icons |
| 16:9 | YouTube video thumbnails, banners, presentation slides |
| 4:3 | Classic photos, print, older monitors |
| Free | Any custom area of your choosing |
