Unconstrained region cropping — not ratio-locked reframing

Custom Cutter lets you draw a rectangular selection anywhere on the image without aspect-ratio presets — then keep or remove that region on a client-side canvas. Resize from corner handles, reset and redraw, then download or copy transparent PNG output. It does not include lasso tools, pen paths, polygon masks, AI auto-selection, or batch cropping.

Why use freeform image cropping?

Preset croppers lock you to fixed ratios before you frame. Pix-8 keeps the selection flexible — the practical path when you need freeform image cropping that isolates any rectangular region with transparent cutout export.

Any position, any size

Draw a rectangular selection without aspect-ratio locks — place and resize the region freely on your image before export.

Keep or remove the region

Export what is inside the selection (keep) or outside it (remove) — with transparent PNG output for cutouts.

Client-side processing

Your image is read locally and cropped on a canvas in your browser tab. Pix-8 does not receive your image data.

Frequently asked questions

What does freeform image cropping mean in Pix-8?

You draw a rectangular selection at any position and size on your image — without locking to aspect-ratio presets — then export the region inside (keep) or outside (remove) with transparent PNG output. Pix-8 Custom Cutter runs entirely in your browser on a client-side canvas. Your file is read locally and is never uploaded to Pix-8 or any third-party server. It does not include lasso, pen-path, polygon, or arbitrary-shape cropping tools.

How is freeform cropping different from Pix-8 Cropper?

Cropper reframes your full image to a rectangular crop and offers aspect-ratio and social media presets with a live size preview. Custom Cutter focuses on unconstrained region selection with keep-or-remove export — ideal when you need a cutout or isolated area rather than a ratio-locked reframe. It does not include aspect-ratio presets, social media ratios, or batch cropping.

Is this freeform image cropping free and private?

Yes. The tool is free with no account required. All cropping runs client-side in your browser — your images stay on your device throughout, with optional EXIF stripping before export.
