Trim a photo to exactly what you want
Crop Image gives you a visual drag-and-drop editor to cut away everything outside the part you care about: straighten a document scan, remove a distracting background, or frame a profile picture. It works on JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC files straight from a phone.
After cropping
- Set exact dimensions or a file-size target: Resize Image.
- Shrink the result: Compress Image.
- Combine cropped scans into one file: Image to PDF.
Is the Crop Image tool private?
Yes. Your file is uploaded over encrypted HTTPS, processed, handed back, and then deleted — the upload goes the moment the Crop Image operation finishes and the result the instant you download it, with an hourly sweeper as a backstop. Unlike closed tools that just claim they don't keep your files, Forge Files's code is fully open source, so you can verify exactly how the Crop Image tool handles your data — or self-host it. No account, no watermark, no upsell. See our privacy details for the full picture.
