Crop a GIF image online
Draw exactly the area you want from a GIF and export it as a pixel-precise still image in PNG, JPEG or WebP. GIFs crop on their first frame — graphics, memes and thumbnails turn into clean stills. Everything runs on your device; nothing is uploaded.

Press Crop image and your result appears with its final size, ready to download as PNG, JPEG or WebP. The original stays in the queue for re-cropping.
Frequently asked questions
How do I crop an image?
Add an image, then drag on the preview to draw a new crop area or adjust the existing one with the handles. Pick an aspect ratio if you need one, press Crop image, and download the result. The original file always stays untouched on your device.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No pixels are resampled — everything outside the crop area is simply removed and the rest is kept as-is. Quality only changes if you export to JPEG or WebP, where the quality slider controls how aggressively the file is compressed. PNG output is lossless.
Can I crop to an exact aspect ratio or size?
Yes. Use the aspect-ratio presets (1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16) for a perfectly constrained selection, and type exact values into the X, Y, W and H fields when you need pixel-perfect results.
Can I crop a JPG and keep the rest of the photo sharp?
Yes — the crop itself never resamples pixels; it simply removes everything outside the selected area. The saved file only changes how it is compressed: PNG output is lossless, while JPG and WebP re-encode at the quality you pick, so the remaining photo keeps its look.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The preview, the cropping and the re-encoding all happen locally in your browser using Web Workers. Your files never leave your device, even while you are dragging the crop area around.
Can I crop several images at once?
You can queue multiple images and crop them one by one in the editor — cropping is an eye-driven task, so each image gets its own preview and controls. Your cropped results collect in a list, and the originals stay in the queue so you can re-crop any time.
Can I crop an animated GIF?
This tool crops the GIF's first frame as a still image rather than re-rendering the animation frame by frame. For static GIF graphics — logos, memes, screenshots — you get a pixel-pure crop; for animations, the animated GIF file itself is never modified.
How do I crop a GIF?
Add the GIF, drag the crop area on the preview (or type exact X/Y/W/H values), pick the output format, and download the cropped still. GIFs use a 256-color palette, so if you want smoother gradients afterwards, WebP or PNG output keeps the frame cleaner than another GIF would.
