Pixel Crop trims every image in a batch to a fixed width × height in pixels. Use it when websites, apps, design systems, or print layouts require identical output sizes—processing stays in your browser, with no uploads.
Pixel crop outputs every selected image at the exact width and height you enter (for example 1200×800), so a whole folder can share one canvas size for UI assets, thumbnails, or layout slots.

Pixel crop is a batch image cropping method that targets absolute pixel dimensions instead of proportions. You set width and height once; each file is cropped to that box (with preview positioning), then exported together as a ZIP.
It differs from percentage crop, which removes a relative share of each source. Pixel crop is the mode to use when the destination needs a known bitmap size—same pixel width and height on every result.
These starting points cover frequent batch jobs. Confirm any CMS, theme, or print spec before you lock the numbers.
| Use case | Typical size | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Web / hero banners | 1920×600, 1200×400 | Matches wide header slots without leaving leftover canvas |
| Square avatars & tiles | 400×400, 800×800 | Uniform squares for grids, directories, and profile slots |
| Thumbnails & cards | 300×300, 640×360 | Compact previews that load fast and align in lists |
| HD display / video stills | 1920×1080 | Standard full-HD frame for slides, embeds, and mockups |
| High-res / QHD assets | 2560×1440, 3840×2160 | Retina and 4K-ready crops when source files are large enough |
Themes and page builders often reject or stretch images that miss a required width × height. One pixel setting standardizes the whole folder.
Design systems expect fixed bitmap sizes for buttons, tiles, and list thumbnails. Batch pixel crop keeps every export on-spec.
Product grids look uneven when each photo has a different pixel size. Lock one canvas so cards align.
When a layout slot is defined in pixels (or a pixel-equivalent export), absolute crop avoids last-minute resize surprises.
Downstream scripts that assume 1200×800 (or similar) fail on mixed sizes. Pixel crop makes the batch machine-friendly.
Sensitive product or portrait files never need to leave the device. Cropping runs in the browser; you download only the ZIP you choose to keep.
Choose the mode that matches whether you need a fixed canvas, a proportional trim, or a platform/shape preset.
| Mode | Best when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel Crop | Every file must share an exact width × height | Sources smaller than the target cannot invent missing pixels |
| Percentage Crop | Mixed sizes need the same proportional edge trim | Final pixel dimensions still differ by source size |
| Manual Crop | Subjects sit in different places and need per-image framing | Slower when the only requirement is a shared pixel box |
| Social Media Crop | You want Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and other presets | Custom CMS sizes may not match platform presets |
| Shape Crop | You need circles or rounded masks with transparency | Shape masks are not a substitute for a plain rectangular pixel box |
Confirm each original is at least as wide and tall as the crop box. Upscaling is not a substitute for a larger source.
A fixed box can clip tall products or off-center faces. Preview outliers and nudge the crop area before you run the batch.
If your layout needs 16:9 but you enter a square size, content will be cut differently than expected. Enter the true target ratio in pixels.
For Instagram, YouTube, or LinkedIn presets, Social Media Crop is faster. Stay on Pixel Crop when the size is a custom CMS or app requirement.
Pixel crop trims each image to an exact width and height in pixels. For example, setting 1200×800 produces outputs that are 1200 pixels wide and 800 pixels tall.
Yes—when the source is large enough, every cropped file matches the width and height you entered. That is the main reason to choose pixel crop over percentage crop.
You cannot honestly invent missing pixels without upscaling. Keep the target at or below each source’s dimensions, or start from higher-resolution originals.
Percentage crop removes a proportional share of each file, so output sizes still vary with the source. Pixel crop forces a fixed canvas size when you need identical dimensions.
Yes. Set the dimensions once, preview framing, then process the whole set and download a single ZIP of results.
No. Processing runs in your browser. Images stay on your device unless you choose to download the ZIP result yourself.
Exact-size cropping in the browser follows the canvas bitmap model: you define a destination width in pixels, then draw a source rectangle into that coordinate space. The references below document those APIs.
Quoted official wording
According to MDN, the HTMLCanvasElement width property controls the canvas size and reflects the width of the bitmap (the drawing buffer / coordinate space) in CSS pixels—so an absolute pixel crop is ultimately a fixed bitmap width, not a percentage of the source file.
