Frequently asked questions

How do I crop an image to a perfect square?

Choose the 1:1 aspect ratio, then drag the crop box where you want it — the selection stays square at any size. This is the standard crop for profile photos.

Does cropping reduce image quality?

Cropping keeps full quality inside the selection — it simply discards the pixels outside it. The cropped area is saved at its original resolution.

Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?

The cropper works by aspect ratio and freeform selection. For exact pixel dimensions, crop first, then use the Resize Image tool to set precise width and height.

Which aspect ratio should I use for social media?

1:1 for Instagram feed posts and profile photos, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and Twitter/X headers, 9:16 for Stories and Reels, and 4:3 for standard photo framing.

About Image Cropper

GenRise Image Cropper cuts any image down to exactly the part you want — drag the crop box freehand, or lock it to a fixed aspect ratio like 1:1 for profile pictures, 16:9 for banners, or 9:16 for stories.
