Image Cropper lets you frame a photo, rotate it, and download the cropped region without opening a full desktop editor.
Drop an image onto the upload area or click to browse. The main canvas shows your photo with a crop overlay, a side preview updates as you adjust, and controls cover Crop, Rotate 90 degrees, Reset, and Download. It is ideal for social aspect ratios, avatar squares, and trimming distracting edges before upload.
Everything runs in the page with canvas drawing, so your draft crops stay local to the session.
