Precision Controls for Pixel-Perfect Crops
Our image cropper gives you full numeric control over the crop region:
- Width (px) – crop box width in pixels
- Height (px) – crop box height in pixels
- X Offset (px) – distance from the left edge of the image
- Y Offset (px) – distance from the top edge of the image
Use these to achieve exact dimensions for banners, thumbnails, or print layouts. The Center Crop Box button resets the crop to the centre of the image with the selected ratio.
Transformations – Rotate & Flip
Apply quick edits before cropping:
- Rotate 90° – turns the image clockwise by 90 degrees. Useful for orientation fixes.
- Flip H (Horizontal) – mirrors the image left-to-right (great for selfies or correcting text direction).
- Flip V (Vertical) – mirrors the image top-to-bottom.
All transformations are applied to the source image before cropping, so you get the exact composition you want.
