Crop Image — Free, Fast & Private

Cropping removes unwanted areas from an image — extra background, distracting elements, or empty space. Combined with compression, it is one of the most effective ways to reduce file size while improving image composition.

MiniPx lets you crop images before compressing. Upload a photo, crop to the area you want, then apply compression and format conversion. The result is a smaller, better-composed image ready for any use.

Common cropping needs include: preparing passport photos (head-and-shoulders from a full body shot), creating social media posts (cropping landscape photos to square or portrait), removing borders from screenshots, and focusing on product details for listings.

After cropping, MiniPx applies your chosen compression settings. This two-step process — crop then compress — produces the smallest possible files because you are only compressing the content you actually need.

Everything happens in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded to any server. Crop sensitive documents, personal photos, and ID images with complete privacy.

How it works

  1. Upload your image: Add the image you want to crop. All common formats are supported.
  2. Select crop area: Drag to select the area you want to keep. Use aspect ratio presets for common sizes.
  3. Apply compression: Choose format and compression level for the cropped image.
  4. Download cropped image: Save the cropped and compressed result to your device.

Frequently asked questions

Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?
Yes. MiniPx supports common aspect ratios: 1:1 (square), 4:5 (Instagram portrait), 16:9 (widescreen), and custom dimensions. Lock the ratio and drag to select your area.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping itself does not reduce quality — it simply removes the areas outside your selection. Quality is only affected by the compression settings you choose afterwards.
Can I crop and compress in one step?
Yes. Upload, crop, set compression, and download — all in a single workflow. MiniPx handles both operations together.
What dimensions should I crop to for passport photos?
Indian passport photos are 3.5cm x 4.5cm. For digital submissions, crop to a head-and-shoulders view and let MiniPx handle the pixel dimensions during compression.
Can I crop multiple images?
Currently cropping is applied one image at a time since each image needs individual crop selection. Batch processing with uniform crop settings is available for simple dimension changes.
Is cropping available on mobile?
Yes. MiniPx image cropping works on phones and tablets. The touch interface supports pinch-to-zoom and drag-to-select on mobile browsers.
