What Is Freeform Cropping?
Every built-in crop tool cuts a rectangle. Freeform cropping removes that limit: you draw an editable polygon with as many points as you need, in any arrangement — curves approximated with many points, sharp corners, silhouettes, stars, product outlines. The crop is stored as a list of points (a true vector path), not as x/y/width/height, so the exported image keeps your exact irregular shape.
- Cut out subjects — isolate a person, product, or logo from its background without a rectangle of leftover scenery.
- Make stickers & overlays — export transparent PNGs shaped exactly like your subject for thumbnails, memes, and stream graphics.
- Design mockups — crop interface elements, labels, and textures into the precise shapes a layout needs.
- No quality loss — the crop is rendered at your image’s original resolution; nothing is upscaled or recompressed beyond your chosen export format.
- Private by design — unlike server-side editors, your photo never leaves your device.

⚠️ Browser Processing Notice
No server upload required. Everything — the polygon editor, rotation, and export — runs locally in your browser, so very large images depend on your device memory. Your crop is always rendered at the original image resolution for maximum quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I crop an image into a custom shape?▼
Upload your image, then click anywhere on it to place points around the area you want to keep. Each click adds a draggable node; drag the nodes to reshape the boundary, click the first node (or press Enter) to close the shape, then hit "Apply Crop". Everything outside your shape is removed.
Is this freeform crop tool really free? Is there a watermark?▼
Yes — completely free, no watermark, no sign-up, and no usage limits. Your image is processed entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to pay for and no branding added to your cropped image.
Which image formats can I upload?▼
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and AVIF all work as long as your browser can decode them — which covers every modern browser. The crop is always rendered at your image’s original resolution.
How do I keep the background transparent after cropping?▼
Choose PNG or WebP when you export. Both formats preserve the transparent background outside your freeform shape. If you pick JPG, the area outside the shape is filled white instead, because JPG does not support transparency.
What is the difference between freeform crop and a normal crop?▼
A normal crop cuts a rectangle. Freeform crop lets you draw any polygon — circles, stars, silhouettes, product outlines — by placing and dragging points. The result keeps the exact irregular shape instead of forcing it into a box.
Is my image uploaded to a server?▼
No. Your image never leaves your device. The polygon editor, rotation, and export all run locally in your browser, so your photos stay 100% private.
