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. If the composition problem is orientation rather than framing — a mirror-image selfie with backwards text, or artwork that needs reversing for a print transfer — cropping will not fix it; flip the image instead. And when the destination shows the photo in a round frame — an avatar, a team-page headshot — a rectangular crop still leaves the corners to chance: crop it into a circle and see exactly what the round frame keeps. What the crop does to the file depends on the format: to crop a PNG is to copy pixels exactly with transparency kept, while to crop a JPG is to accept a re-encode — both pages spell out their format's trade-offs.
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.
