How to crop images on Pixelcate - quick & perfect

Follow these simple steps to crop and export perfect images for web, print, or social media; all in your browser with zero installs.

  1. 1. Upload or drag & drop your image

    Click Upload or drag the image into the cropper. Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP,BMP, GIF and all Popular Formats. Files are processed in your browser — we don’t keep unencrypted copies.

  2. 2. Choose an aspect ratio or custom size

    Pick common presets like 1:1 (square), 16:9, or social sizes like Instagram, Facebook or Twitter (X). For precision, enter exact pixel dimensions (e.g., 1080 × 1080).

  3. 3. Adjust the crop box & compose

    Drag to move, pull corners to resize. Use the grid overlay to align faces or subjects with the rule of thirds. Zoom in/out to refine framing without changing output size.

  4. 4. Rotate, flip, or straighten if needed

    Use rotate/flip controls to fix orientation or straighten horizons before you finalize the crop. Small rotations are often handy for scanned photos.

  5. 5. Live Preview then crop

    Pixelcate offers Live Preview to check how the cropped image will look at the final size. When you’re satisfied, click Crop.

  6. 6. Download or export

    Download as PNG or JPG as per your existing image format. Your final file is ready to share or upload.

Pro tips
  • For social posts, export square (1080×1080) for Instagram and 1200×628 for Facebook/Twitter preview cards.
  • When cropping product photos, leave a small margin for easier background removal later.
  • Use PNG for graphics with transparency; use JPG for photos where smaller file size matters.
