Free aspect-ratio cropping with built-in presets

Cropper locks common ratios — free, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 9:16, and 4:5 — plus social media presets for platform-standard proportions. Drag the selection on a client-side canvas, not a cloud upload first. The live size preview shows output width and height in pixels before export. It does not include custom typed ratio inputs, AI auto-centering, or batch ratio queues.

Why use a free aspect ratio cropper in the browser?

Cloud croppers upload before you can lock a ratio. Pix-8 presets run locally — the direct path when you need a free aspect ratio image cropper with built-in locks and a live pixel preview on your device.

Built-in ratio presets

Switch between free, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 9:16, and 4:5 — or apply social media presets — while the crop area holds the selected ratio.

Free, no watermark

Lock aspect ratios and export at no cost — no account, no subscription tier, and no watermark on your output.

Client-side processing

Your image is read locally and cropped on a canvas in the browser — never uploaded to Pix-8 or a third-party server.

Frequently asked questions

Is this aspect ratio image cropper free?

Yes. Pix-8 Cropper is free with no account, no watermark, and no export limits. Choose an aspect-ratio preset or social media ratio, frame your crop selection, and download or copy the output at no cost.

What aspect ratios can I lock when cropping?

Cropper includes aspect-ratio presets for free (unlocked), 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 9:16, and 4:5, plus social media presets that apply common platform ratios such as Instagram square, Story/Reel, landscape cover, and Instagram portrait. Drag and resize the selection while the live size preview shows output width and height in pixels. It does not include custom typed ratio fields, AI auto-crop, or batch cropping.

Are my images uploaded when I crop by aspect ratio?

No. Your file is read locally via the browser File API and all cropping runs on-device. It is never transmitted to Pix-8 or any third-party server — ratio locking and export happen entirely in your browser tab.
