How to Crop a Photo to an Exact Ratio
Magic Photo Cropper cuts your photo to a square, an ID-photo ratio, a passport-photo ratio, or a few other common ratios — then lets you pan and zoom until the framing looks right, before saving.
Upload Your Photo
Drag and drop a photo, paste one from your clipboard, or click "Choose File." JPG, PNG, and WEBP are supported, up to 20 MB.
Pick a Ratio and Adjust
Choose 1:1, 3:4 ID photo, passport photo, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16, or the original ratio. Use the position and zoom sliders to frame the shot.
Crop & Download
Click Crop & Download to save the cropped photo in JPG, PNG, or WEBP.
🔒 100% Private — Your photo never leaves your device
Cropping happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to a server at any point.
🎯 Tips for a Clean Crop
ID and resume photos
Use 3:4 ID Photo for the common Korean 반명함 ratio. Center the face with the Up/Down slider before zooming in, so you don't crop off the top of the head.
Passport photos need more than a ratio
The Passport preset only matches the 3.5×4.5cm shape. Background color, face size, and lighting rules are set by the issuing authority — check their current guidelines separately.
Set an exact pixel size
If the place you're submitting to specifies a pixel size, enter it in "Output width" — the height is calculated automatically to match your chosen ratio.
Zoom before you crop, not after
Cropping always uses full source resolution within the zoomed-in area — there's no quality loss from the crop itself, only from zooming in past your photo's native resolution.
Chain it with other tools
Need the cropped photo under a specific file size, like 300KB for a submission form? Run it through Magic Image Compressor's Target Size mode next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Passport Photo crops to 3.5×4.5cm proportions. 4:3 and 16:9 are standard landscape ratios, 9:16 is the vertical ratio used by Stories and Shorts, and Original keeps your photo's existing aspect ratio while still letting you pan and zoom.
This tool crops to the 3.5×4.5cm proportions only. Passport photo rules also cover background color, face size within the frame, and lighting — those are set by the issuing authority (embassy, consulate, or passport office), so check their current requirements separately before submitting.
Yes. Enter a value in "Output width" and the height is calculated automatically to match your chosen ratio. Leave it blank to get the cropped area at its full original resolution.
