Crop one image to several print ratios (2:3, 4:5 and more)

Choose one image (artwork or photo) and save a zip with 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:7, A-series (ISO) and 11:14 versions. Nothing is distorted: each file is cropped or given a border. Your image never leaves your browser.

Made for people who sell printable art (digital downloads) on marketplaces such as Etsy.

One JPEG, PNG or WebP image. It is processed on this device only.

How to use

  1. Choose one image (JPEG, PNG or WebP). You can also drop it onto the page.
  2. Check the ratios, crop positions, output size and format. Move a crop frame by dragging it or with the arrow keys. The darkened area outside a frame is cropped off.
  3. Press “Download all (zip)” to save a zip with one file per selected ratio.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Reading the image, cropping and building the zip all happen in your browser. The page only sends anonymous counts: that a page was opened, and that an action such as "exported" happened. See the Privacy Policy.
Is the color profile (ICC) kept?
No. The tool redraws the image with the browser's canvas, so the exported files are made in sRGB and the profile embedded in your original is not carried over. In our checks with Chromium (the browser Chrome and Edge are built on), the exported JPEG contains an sRGB profile and the exported PNG contains no profile (an image without a profile is normally treated as sRGB). Other browsers may differ. Images in Adobe RGB, Display P3 or CMYK are converted by the browser and the colors may shift. Open the exported files and check the colors before you sell them. Camera metadata (Exif) is not carried over either.
Does it write the DPI into the files?
Only when the output size is set to “Print size and DPI”. In that mode the DPI you entered is written into each file (JFIF density for JPEG, pHYs for PNG). In the other modes no DPI value is written. DPI is only a label; print quality depends on the pixel dimensions. If the image does not have enough pixels and upscaling is off, the file has fewer pixels but still carries the DPI you entered, so at that DPI it prints smaller than the size you chose.
Will it enlarge my image?
Not by default. If the size you asked for needs more pixels than the image has, the tool shows a notice and exports at the image's full size instead. Tick “Allow upscaling” to get the exact size you asked for; this does not add detail.
How large can the image be?
Each exported file can be up to 16,000 px on a side and about 100 megapixels. Some browsers and devices, phones in particular, cannot make images that large. Ratios that could not be made are skipped, the rest are exported, and the tool tells you which ones were skipped.
What does “ISO” mean?
The paper ratio of A5, A4, A3 and so on (1:√2). In “Print size and DPI” you can choose A5 to A1.
Does it cost anything?
It is free, and there is no sign-up.
