Image Cropper — Ratios & Passport Sizes, In-Browser

← Darkroom IsleThe Creative Island · Island 12

Crop to the ratio you need — square for profiles, 16:9 for video, 3.5:4.5 for passports — position it, download it.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose your photo — the preview shows the live crop.
  2. Pick the ratio: square, portrait, video, or exact passport standards (35×45mm is the Bangladesh/India standard).
  3. Slide the vertical position to frame the face where it should be, then download.

Example

Passport applications: select Passport 35×45mm, position the face center-top, download — the file comes out at 413×531px, which prints at exactly 35×45mm at 300 DPI.

The formula

crop window = largest rectangle of the chosen ratio that fits inside the photo, centered horizontally, slider-controlled vertically

What the result means

Cropping to a ratio is what official forms and social platforms actually enforce — they take your square or your 16:9 whether you chose it or not. Doing it yourself means the subject stays framed instead of guillotined. Passport crops come out at 300 DPI-ready pixels, so printing shops get an exact file.

Frequently asked questions

Can I crop to a free size, dragging corners?

This bench crops by fixed ratios — deliberately, because ratios are what forms and platforms demand. Free-form crops belong in a full editor.

Is 35×45mm the right passport size for Bangladesh?

Yes — the standard Bangladesh/India passport photo size (the US uses 2×2 inches instead, also in the list). Always double-check the specific form's instructions before printing.

Does cropping reduce quality?

No — it cuts pixels away, it doesn't stretch them. The remaining area is full original resolution.

Are my photos uploaded?

No — the crop happens on a canvas in your browser and the download is generated locally.
