Fix tilted camera angles, remove unwanted borders, and reframe images directly in your browser.

A quick crop or rotation is often all a photograph needs to go from sloppy to professional. Whether straightening a horizon or trimming distracting backgrounds, doing it right on your device saves time and preserves privacy.

Fixing rotation and orientation

Photos taken on mobile devices sometimes open sideways because orientation metadata was ignored or misread by an upload form. Rotating by 90 degrees directly writes the correct pixel orientation into the output image file.

Standard aspect ratios vs freeform

Choose an aspect ratio based on where the photo will live: 1:1 for social avatars and profiles, 4:3 for standard presentations, or 16:9 for widescreen headers and videos. Cropping removes unwanted outer areas cleanly without distorting the remaining picture.
