HOW TO CROP A PNG IMAGE ONLINE (FREE)

UPLOAD PNG

Drag & drop your png image or click to browse. Free online png cropper — no watermark, no signup. Works on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android.

SELECT AREA

Drag to select the crop region. Use aspect ratio presets (1:1, 4:5, 16:9) or freeform for full control.

START & DOWNLOAD

Click Start to crop PNG images online and download instantly. Privacy‑first processing with clean, watermark‑free results. (JPG flattens transparency against your chosen background color.)

TIP

Keep Output set to Original to stay in PNG for best compatibility. Switch formats only if you need smaller files (WebP) or transparency (PNG).

WHY CROP PNG?

Cropping PNGs lets you isolate exactly what matters while keeping transparency intact. Perfect for UI icons, logos, and product cutouts without background artifacts.

Tip: publish responsive images with exact sizes to reduce CLS and improve perceived performance.

PRO TIPS FOR CROPPING

  • Use aspect presets for perfect social sizes: 1:1 (Instagram), 4:5 (feed), 16:9 (YouTube, cover).
  • Keep the subject on the rule-of-thirds intersections for stronger composition.
  • Need transparency? Choose PNG or WebP. JPG does not support alpha and will flatten against a background color.
  • Keep Output on "Original" to avoid unnecessary re-encoding. For smaller files, try WebP with moderate quality.
