how to crop image to 16:9
- drop an image, or several, on the box above.
- pick a ratio such as 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9, or leave it on free.
- drag on the picture to place the crop box, or type exact x, y, width and height values.
- download the cropped image, or press crop all to get a zip of centered crops.
16:9 is the shape of most screens, tv shows, youtube videos and presentation slides. a standard 3:2 or 4:3 camera photo has to lose some height to become 16:9, so the crop usually removes a strip from the top and bottom. drag the box up or down to decide whether you keep the sky or the ground.
photos shot in portrait orientation lose most of their height at 16:9, so the result is much smaller than the original. if you need a specific size afterwards, such as 1920 × 1080 or 1280 × 720, crop here and finish with resize image, which keeps the 16:9 shape.
