Why use this tool
Ratios ready to pick
Choose free, 1:1, 4:5, 3:2, 16:9 or 9:16 and the crop box locks to that shape while you move it.
Pixel-exact when needed
Type x, y, width and height directly, or nudge the box with the keyboard when a mouse drag isn’t precise enough.
One ratio, many photos
In a batch, the same ratio is centered on every image, so a folder of shots comes out uniform in one pass.
Supported formats
Use cases
Square profile pictures
Turn a wide group shot into a 1:1 crop around one face for a team page, forum avatar or messaging app.
Uniform product grids
Drop 40 product photos shot at slightly different framings, choose 4:5, and get a matching set for a shop category page.
Vertical cuts for stories
Take a landscape video still or event photo and cut a 9:16 slice from the center for a phone-screen story.
Technical details
Cropping removes pixels instead of scaling them, so what remains keeps its original sharpness. A 4000×3000 photo cropped to 1:1 becomes 3000×3000, not a smaller copy. The preview shows the first image; the numeric fields describe the crop box in that image’s pixels. When you process a batch with a fixed ratio, Pixellin centers a box of that ratio on each image, which works well for consistently framed shots but may cut off off-center subjects in others. Check those after processing and redo them individually if needed.
Cropping and resizing are different steps. If a site wants exactly 1080×1350, crop to 4:5 here, then set the pixel size with the image resizer. Doing it in that order avoids stretching, because the shape is already right before any scaling happens. Cropped files are saved as JPG, PNG or WebP. For photos, JPG keeps files small; for screenshots, diagrams and images with transparency, PNG or WebP keeps edges and clear areas intact.

Frequently asked questions
How do I crop a picture to a square?
Add the photo, pick the 1:1 preset and drag the box over the part you want to keep. The box stays square while you move or resize it. Select Process, then download the result. The square is as large as the shorter side of the original allows.
Can I crop many images to the same size at once?
You can crop a batch to the same aspect ratio: the chosen ratio is centered on every image. The pixel size of each result depends on the original’s dimensions, so if you need identical pixel sizes, run the cropped files through the resizer afterward.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping itself only discards the pixels outside the box; the rest are untouched. The file is re-encoded when it’s saved, so a JPG goes through one more round of compression. Saving as PNG avoids that, at the cost of a larger file.
Can I enter exact crop dimensions in pixels?
Yes. Alongside the drag handles there are numeric fields for x, y, width and height. Type the values you need and the box updates in the preview. You can also adjust the box with the keyboard for small, precise moves.
