Frequently asked questions

How do I crop an image into a square?

Click "UPLOAD IMAGE" to choose a photo (or "Use demo image" to try it instantly), drag and resize the crop box, then click "CROP SQUARE". The crop box is locked to a 1:1 ratio, so the result is always a perfect square, ready to download.

What aspect ratio does this use?

1:1 — a perfect square, always. The crop box can't be resized into a rectangle, so every crop comes out exactly square.

What's a square crop good for?

Square (1:1) images are the standard format for Instagram posts, video and product thumbnails, profile grids, and e-commerce product photos — a square crop makes sure your image displays exactly as intended without being cropped again by the platform.

Does it reduce image quality?

No. The crop is generated straight from your image's native resolution, so the result stays crisp and sharp with no added compression.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser and works on any modern mobile browser — you can upload a photo from your phone's gallery and crop it with touch gestures.
