Bulk Crop Images

About cropping images in bulk

Social media, online shops and websites all want photos in one exact shape: square for a product grid, 4:5 for an Instagram post, 9:16 for a story, 16:9 for a video thumbnail. Cropping 80 photos one by one in an editor takes an hour.

This tool crops all of them at once. Choose the shape, choose which part to keep, check the preview on the first photo, and download every photo cropped in a ZIP.

How to use it

• Click Click to upload, or drop a folder of photos onto the box
• Pick a shape — 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2 or your own ratio
• Choose what to keep: the center, or the top, bottom, left or right edge
• Look at the preview — the bright area is what stays
• Press Crop them all, then Download all (ZIP)

Which shape for which place

• 1:1 square — Instagram grid, profile pictures, product photos for most online shops
• 4:5 portrait — Instagram and Facebook feed posts (the tallest post they allow)
• 9:16 story — Instagram and Facebook Stories, Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts
• 16:9 wide — YouTube thumbnails, slides, website banners, TV screens
• 4:3 — older cameras, iPad screens, many presentations
• 3:2 — the shape of most camera photos and 4×6 inch prints
• Custom — any ratio, like 5:7 for prints or 2:1 for a header

Keep the center or an edge

Every photo is cut to the largest area of the chosen shape that fits inside it, so nothing is stretched and no empty borders are added. Keep the decides where that area sits:

• Center — right for most products and landscapes
• Top — keeps heads in portraits and group photos
• Bottom, Left, Right — for subjects that sit near one side

Turn on "Turn the shape to match each photo" for a mixed batch: a 3:2 crop then becomes 2:3 on portrait photos, so tall photos are not cut hard across the middle.

Size and format

Full resolution keeps every pixel of the crop. Choose 2048, 1080 or 512 px wide to make the files ready for a website or a social post at the same time. The tool never enlarges a photo.

Keep each original saves JPGs as JPG and PNGs as PNG, or pick one format for the whole batch.

Everything happens on your device

Your photos are cropped inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there is no sign-up and no watermark, and a batch of hundreds starts at once.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop multiple images at once?

Drop all the photos in, choose a shape such as 1:1 or 16:9, choose which part to keep, and press Crop them all. Every photo is cropped the same way and you download them together as a ZIP.

How do I crop all my photos to a square?

Choose the 1:1 shape and keep the Center. Each photo is cut to the largest square that fits inside it. Choose 1080 px as the output width for a perfect Instagram size.

Will the photos be stretched?

No. The tool only cuts away the edges; it never stretches or squashes a photo, and it never adds empty borders.

Can I crop portrait and landscape photos in one batch?

Yes. Turn on "Turn the shape to match each photo", and a 3:2 or 16:9 shape is turned for portrait photos so each one keeps as much as possible.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, on your own device.
