Crop an image.

This free image cropper lets you drag out exactly the area you want to keep, free-form or locked to a square, 4:3 or 16:9 ratio, without a single file leaving your device.

How it works

Altto's crop tool works right in your browser tab using the canvas built into every modern browser, so there's no upload queue and no “processing your file” spinner tied to someone else's servers.

Why this runs in your browser, not on a server

Photos often contain things you'd rather not hand to a stranger's server just to crop them. Altto skips that step completely — there's no server for it to go to.

  • Nothing is uploaded, everYour image is decoded and cropped using your browser’s own canvas, because there’s no server on the other end. That also means we can’t see it, copy it or keep it.
  • No account, no email wallCrop as many images as you like without signing up or handing over an email address.
  • Full-resolution outputThe crop is applied to your image’s real pixel dimensions, not the smaller on-screen preview.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The practical details on what this tool can and can’t do. Need to resize instead of crop? See Image Resize.

How do I crop to a specific shape, like a square?
Pick one of the aspect-ratio presets (Square 1:1, 4:3 or 16:9) before adjusting the crop box — it'll snap to and stay locked to that shape as you drag the corners. Choose Free for no restriction at all.
Can I move and resize the crop area?
Yes — drag inside the box to move it, or drag any of the four corner handles to resize it. It's clamped so it can never go outside the image.
What size will my cropped image be?
Exactly the pixel dimensions shown under the crop box, taken from your original image's full resolution — not the smaller preview size shown on screen, so you don't lose quality by cropping tighter.
What image formats are supported?
JPG and PNG. The cropped output keeps the same format as your original, so a PNG's transparency is preserved rather than flattened.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No — nothing is ever uploaded. Your image is decoded and cropped entirely inside this browser tab using the canvas built into your browser. There's no server involved at all, so there's nothing for Altto to see, copy or keep.
Do you keep a copy of my image?
No. There's no upload, so there's nothing on our side to keep. See the Privacy Policy for details.
