Image editor: resize, crop, rotate, square, border remover and magic cropper

Image editor

Make any photo square, remove one-colour backgrounds and borders, or crop images and animated GIFs into shapes (heart, star, circle…). Everything is processed in your browser: nothing is uploaded to any server.

Borderless image

Automatic two-step process: the image is made square by padding it with a white border and, at the same time, a version with that border removed (transparent) is generated. Only the colour touching the edges is removed; the inside is untouched even if it contains white.

No image loaded.

#ffffff

If some border remains, raise the tolerance; if it eats into the image, lower it.

Square image

Turn a rectangular image into a square without distorting it: blurred background, solid colour, stretched or cropped. Ideal for xat avatars, profiles and thumbnails.

Preview

The preview is the real result at the chosen output size. Rescaling uses step-down reduction so it does not look blurry or pixelated.

Seven utilities for xat avatars and backgrounds (and anything else): Borderless image squares the photo with a white border and also outputs the border-removed version, Square image turns any picture into a square (blurred, coloured, stretched or cropped background), Border remover deletes a colour touching the edges, the Magic cropper cuts images and GIFs into 17 shapes, and the editor lets you resize (stretch, center crop, keep aspect ratio or transparent padding, with percentages and presets), crop with a free or fixed-ratio box and rotate or flip (90°, 180°, mirror or free angle). Everything also works with animated GIFs keeping every frame and its delay. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Frequently asked questions

How do I resize an animated GIF without losing the animation?+

Upload the GIF in the Resize tab, type the width or height (or a percentage), pick the method (stretch, center crop, keep aspect or transparent padding) and press Save. Every frame is scaled and the GIF is re-encoded with its original delays.

What is the difference between the resize methods?+

Stretch fits the image exactly to the requested size even if the ratio changes; Center crop fills the size and cuts the excess; Keep aspect fits the image inside without cutting; Transparent padding fits the image and fills the rest with transparency (great for PNG and GIF).

How do I make an image square without distorting it?+

Upload it in Square image, pick Blurred (fills the sides with a blurred copy of the photo) or Colour mode, choose the output size and download. Scaling is done in steps so the result stays sharp.

Can I crop an animated GIF into a heart?+

Yes. The Magic cropper decodes the GIF, applies the shape to every frame and re-encodes it with a palette per frame, so colours and frame delays are preserved.

What is the difference between removing the border and the whole colour?+

By default only the colour connected to the image edges is removed; pixels of the same colour inside the drawing are kept. Tick "Also the interior" to remove them all.
