The Piick image cropper is a fully in-browser editor for cropping, rotating, and resizing images. This guide covers the most common workflows.

Why a browser-based cropper?

  • Privacy: your photos never leave your device. Useful for cropping passport scans or confidential screenshots.
  • No watermark: the downloaded file is exactly what you see.
  • No signup: open the page, drop an image, done.

Common workflows

Cropping a screenshot to a specific region

  1. Drop your screenshot into the upload area.
  2. Drag the crop handles to select the region you want to keep.
  3. Choose an output format (PNG for quality, JPEG for smaller size).
  4. Click Download.

Resizing a photo to a fixed width

  1. Open the cropper with your photo.
  2. Click the Resize tab.
  3. Enter the target width in pixels; height scales automatically to preserve aspect ratio.
  4. Download.

Rotating a portrait photo

  1. Drop the image in.
  2. Use the Rotate buttons (90° clockwise / counter-clockwise, or arbitrary angle).
  3. Download.

Tips for best results

  • Start from the largest version: cropping reduces resolution. If you have the original full-resolution file, crop from that, not from a previously cropped version.
  • Use PNG for sharp edges (logos, UI screenshots), JPEG for photos (smaller files at similar visual quality).
  • Watch the file size indicator below the preview — it updates live as you change settings.
