Cropping a PNG should keep its transparency, and many tools quietly flatten it to a white background. This cropper preserves the PNG format, so transparent areas stay transparent after you crop.
The crop runs in your browser, so your PNG is never uploaded while you trim it.
How to use Crop PNG
Using Crop PNG takes only a few seconds and just four simple steps — no sign-up, no software, and nothing to learn:
- Upload the PNG: Add the PNG image you want to crop.
- Drag to select: Draw a box around the area you want to keep.
- Crop: Trim the image to your selection.
- Download: Save the cropped PNG with transparency preserved.
What you can do with Crop PNG
Crop PNG is built to do one job well, and gives you everything you need to get it exactly right:
Keeps transparency. PNG output stays transparent — no forced white background.
Free-form selection. Drag any rectangle to crop exactly what you need.
Private. Cropped in your browser, never uploaded.
No watermark. Clean PNG output, unlimited use.
Crop without losing transparency
PNGs are usually PNGs for a reason — a transparent logo or cut-out. Cropping here keeps that transparency, so your image drops onto any background just as it did before.
Whether you need it once or every day, Crop PNG keeps the process quick and predictable. Because it focuses on a single task, there are no crowded menus to wade through — you open the page, set what you need, and get your result. That simplicity is exactly why a dedicated image tool beats a heavyweight editor for a job like this.
Everything runs in your browser
Unlike most online tools, Crop PNG never uploads your image to a server. The moment you choose a file, it is processed right here in your web browser using your own device's power. Nothing is sent over the internet, nothing is stored, and nothing is shared with anyone.
That gives you two real advantages. First, it is private: sensitive documents, ID photos and personal files never leave your computer or phone. Second, it is fast — there is no slow upload or download round-trip, so even large files are handled almost instantly. And it is completely free, with no watermark added to your result and no account required.
Tips for the best results
- Start from the highest-quality original you have — the better the input, the better the result from Crop PNG.
- Check the exact requirement — size, dimensions, or format — before you begin, so you only need to do it once.
- Keeps transparency: PNG output stays transparent — no forced white background.
- Free-form selection: Drag any rectangle to crop exactly what you need.
- Everything is repeatable — if the result isn't quite right, just adjust the settings and run it again. Nothing is uploaded, so you can try as many times as you like.
