How to use Crop & Rotate Image
Crop to exact coordinates, rotate, and preview the result.
- Choose an image and enter the crop rectangle in original pixels. Rotation is applied after cropping. Process to preview and download.
- Process the selected files, then inspect the preview, dimensions or warnings.
- Download a new copy and check it before replacing or sharing the original.
How processing works
A crop selects a rectangle in the original pixel coordinate system. The selected pixels are drawn to a new canvas, then the chosen rotation is applied.
A quick example
A centered 800 × 800 crop can turn a landscape photo into a square.
Assumptions, edge cases & limits
- The crop rectangle must stay within the source image. Coordinates start at the top-left.
- Rotation may swap width and height; inspect the resulting orientation before sharing.
- Coordinates are measured from the top-left of the original image.
Questions about Crop & Rotate Image
Are crop coordinates measured before or after rotation?
Enter the rectangle in the original image’s coordinates. Cropping happens first, followed by rotation, so the preview may have different final dimensions.
Does cropping change the original photo?
The download is a newly encoded copy. Keep your original file so you can choose a different crop later without losing content outside the rectangle.
Are my files or inputs uploaded?
Calculation and file processing run in your browser without a processing upload. Downloads go to your device. Choosing a next-step transfer creates a temporary local copy for that workflow. Region preferences are stored separately from tool inputs. See our privacy details.
Can I use this tool for free?
Yes. No signup, subscription or payment is required to use the tool or download its output. File tools have device and size limits; a smaller batch may work better on a phone.
