Frequently asked questions
How do I crop an image to 4:3?
Drop your image into the box above — the 4:3 ratio is already selected — pick a focus point (centre, top, bottom or a side), and download the cropped result. Nothing is uploaded.
What does a 4:3 crop mean?
A 4:3 aspect ratio means the width and height are kept in that proportion. The tool takes the largest 4:3 area that fits your image, so the picture is never stretched — only trimmed to shape.
Can I choose which part is kept?
Yes — the focus setting controls which part survives the crop. For portraits, "top" keeps heads in frame; for most other shots, "centre" works well.
Is my image uploaded?
No — cropping runs entirely in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
What a 4:3 standard crop is for
A 4:3 standard crop is the right shape for classic photo prints and standard 4:3 displays. Cropping to the correct aspect ratio before you upload means the platform displays your image the way you intend, instead of awkwardly cutting it off or adding bars around it.
Getting the framing right
A gentle crop from most camera photos; centre focus is usually best.
The tool never stretches your photo — it finds the largest 4:3 region that fits and trims the rest, so people and objects keep their natural proportions. If a subject sits near an edge, switch the focus point so the crop keeps it in frame.
