How to use Crop, rotate and flip image
- Choose an image.
- Pick a crop shape, or Free, and drag the box or its corners; type exact pixel values if you prefer.
- Rotate left or right, and flip horizontally or vertically, as needed. The result preview updates as you go.
- Select Apply, then download the edited image.
Crop to the shape you need
Every platform wants a different shape: square profile pictures, 4:5 portrait posts, 9:16 stories and reels, 16:9 video thumbnails and slides. Pick a shape and the tool places the largest crop of that shape in the middle of your image; drag it to frame the subject, or drag a corner to tighten it while the shape stays locked. Choose Free to crop to any rectangle, and type exact pixel values in the Left, Top, Width and Height fields when you need precision or prefer the keyboard.
Rotate and mirror
Rotate left or right in quarter turns to fix a photo that came out sideways, and flip horizontally to undo the mirror effect of a front-camera selfie or to make a subject face into the page. Flip vertically for reflections, upside-down photos of whiteboards and some scanned documents. The result preview on the right shows exactly what will be saved, with its final size in pixels, before anything is written.
Photos are shown the right way up first, using the orientation your camera recorded, so what you crop is what you see.
Quality
Cropping and quarter turns don't resample the image: every pixel you keep stays at full resolution. The result is saved in the same format as the original. PNG and WebP stay lossless; a JPEG is re-encoded once at high quality, which is invisible in normal viewing, even when printed. If you also need a smaller file or a particular pixel size, use Compress image or Resize image afterwards.
Private
The image is decoded and edited in your browser and never uploaded. Saving the edited copy also removes metadata such as GPS location, camera details and the date taken, which is useful before sharing a photo publicly. Your original file is not changed, and there's no account, watermark or limit on how many images you edit.
Questions
- Does cropping lower the quality?
- Cropping and quarter-turn rotation keep every pixel you keep at full resolution. The image is saved again in its original format, so a JPEG is re-compressed once at high quality (92%); PNGs stay lossless.
- Which crop shapes are there?
- Free, the original proportions, 1:1 square for profile pictures and grid posts, 4:5 for portrait feed posts, 16:9 for video thumbnails and slides, 9:16 for stories and reels, and 3:2, the shape of most camera photos.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. It's edited in your browser and never leaves your device. Saving also drops metadata such as GPS location.
