How to Crop & Resize Images to Any Ratio

Cropping isn't just about making images smaller — it's about controlling composition and matching exact ratios: passport 2×2, A4 documents, Instagram squares, YouTube 16:9.

The ratio-first workflow

  1. 1

    Pick the ratio first

    Choose a preset — passport, A4, Instagram, YouTube — or enter a custom width × height.

  2. 2

    Drag the crop window

    Position the frame over the best part of the image; the ratio stays locked.

  3. 3

    Set output dimensions

    Define exact pixel output (e.g. 600 × 600) for print or platform specs.

  4. 4

    Export

    Download as PNG, JPEG or WEBP with quality control.
