How to Crop PNG, JPG and WebP Online

Cropping removes the parts of an image you do not need. It can remove empty borders, tighten the framing around a subject, convert a landscape photo into a square, or prepare an asset for a specific website layout.

The CodeStorms Crop Image supports PNG, JPG, and WebP images and lets you choose the exact area to keep.

Crop PNG images

PNG is commonly used for screenshots, graphics, logos, and UI assets. Cropping a PNG is useful for removing unused canvas space or focusing a screenshot on the relevant interface area.

If transparency is important, review the downloaded result before replacing the original asset in production.

Crop JPG photos

JPG is common for photographs and product images. A crop can improve composition, remove distractions, or create a tighter product frame before the photo is resized or compressed.

For website publishing, a typical sequence is crop first, then resize, then compress if needed.

Crop WebP images

WebP is widely used for web delivery. If you download or receive a WebP asset that contains extra whitespace or the wrong framing, you can crop it directly instead of converting it to another format first.

Choosing an aspect ratio

Use 1:1 for square thumbnails and many profile images. Use 16:9 for widescreen banners and video-style layouts. Free-form cropping is better when you need to remove a specific border or keep an irregular composition.

The correct ratio depends on where the image will be used. Check the destination layout before cropping a large batch of assets.

Crop vs resize

Cropping changes which part of the image remains. Resizing changes the dimensions of the whole image.

If a 2000 × 1500 photo contains too much background, crop first. If the framing is already correct but the file is simply too large for the layout, use Resize Image.
