Why crop images in your browser instead of a cloud editor?

Cropping often means cutting a person, a document, or a screenshot down to just the part you meant to share — the rest of the frame is exactly what you didn't want going anywhere else. NearIMG draws the crop box and saves the result locally, so only the part you kept ever exists as a file.

How it works

1. Add an image and click it — the crop view opens with a draggable box over the photo.
2. Drag the box or its corner handles, or pick a preset ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:4). Arrow keys nudge the box; Shift+arrows resize it.
3. Apply, then Crop — the box coordinates are mapped back to the original image's own pixels and cut there, at full resolution.

The crop rectangle is stored in source-pixel coordinates, which means the area you keep is not resampled at all — it's the original pixels, cut out one-for-one, no matter how zoomed the preview was. If you're cropping for a platform that wants an exact output size (a YouTube thumbnail, an Instagram post), consider the Resize-for-social tool instead: it combines the crop and the exact target dimensions in one step.

Can I crop to a specific ratio?

Yes — pick a preset like 1:1 or 16:9, or drag the box freely.

Does cropping lose quality?

No — cropping just removes pixels outside the box; the kept area is untouched.

Can I crop several images in one batch?

Yes — each image gets its own crop box. Click each thumbnail, set its crop, and save once at the end; the batch downloads together as a ZIP.
