How it works

How to crop images on Mac or Windows

  1. Drop your images

    JPG, PNG, WebP and BMP. Phone photos are turned upright first, so you crop what you see.

  2. Pick a ratio and frame it

    Choose Free, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 or 4:3 and drag the box. Type exact values in percent or pixels if you need them.

  3. Fix the odd ones, then run

    In the Crop studio, give any photo its own crop. Each copy keeps its name and format.

New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step

Choose the shape

Lock a ratio. Every photo follows.

Pick a ratio and the box jumps to the largest centered area of that shape. Drag it to frame the subject, and step through the batch in the studio before you run.

  • 1:1

    A clean square.

    Best for product grids, avatars and catalog tiles.

  • 4:5

    The tall feed format.

    Best for Instagram and Facebook posts.

  • 16:9

    The wide screen format.

    Best for YouTube thumbnails, slides and website heroes.

The alternative

Why not crop in your photo app?

For one photo, the editor already on your phone or computer is quick and free. For twenty photos at the same ratio, it is twenty separate edits.

Questions

Before you download

More answers in the help center.

Is it really free?

Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.

Can I crop to an exact pixel size?

Yes. Open Precise values, switch the unit to px and type the left, top, width and height. Pixel values belong to one image, so set them per image when sizes differ.

Does it handle rotated phone photos?

Yes. The camera orientation is applied first, so you crop the photo as you see it, not a sideways version of it.

Does cropping change the file format?

No. The image keeps its format. JPEG and WebP files are saved again at high quality.

Can I crop many images at once?

Yes. One crop applies to the whole batch as a share of each image, and clamps safely inside it. For images of different shapes, or a different framing per photo, crop each one in the Crop studio.

Does it work on HEIC or AVIF photos?

Not directly yet. Convert them to JPEG or PNG first with the Convert Images tool, then crop as usual.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
