Crop to an aspect ratio — without cutting off heads
Pick the use case and everyimg crops to the right aspect ratio automatically. The ratio is locked, so nothing gets distorted — and if a head or subject would be cut off, just shift the crop focus with two sliders.
Large header images need 1920 px width (16:9) but should stay under 200 KB so your page loads fast.

Why center-cropping ruins portraits
CMS thumbnails are generated from the image center. With portrait photos of people the face usually sits in the upper third — so automatic crops chop it in half. Crop the image yourself before uploading and use the focus control to keep the subject in view. Afterwards you can continue directly: compress the result or convert it to another format without re-uploading.
Frequently asked questions
Why do websites crop my images?
WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and co. force every image into a fixed frame. If your photo has a different aspect ratio, it gets cropped automatically — always from the center. That is exactly how the infamous half-cut-off faces happen. Cropping to the target ratio before uploading gives you control over what stays in the frame.
Can I accidentally distort my image here?
No. The aspect ratio is locked for every preset — the image is cropped, never stretched or squeezed. Use the focus sliders to choose which part of the image stays.
Which aspect ratio do I need?
16:9 for headers, blog featured images and YouTube thumbnails; 1:1 for product and profile images; 1.91:1 (1200 × 630) for social link previews; 3:4 for portraits and CV photos.
