Transparency-safe cropping
Crop PNG Online Free | Keep Transparency, No Upload
Cropping a PNG must not flatten it: logos, stickers and cut-outs live or die by their transparency, and most quick croppers quietly convert to JPEG.
Open Freehand CropFor straight rectangle crops, Image Cropper is the faster sibling | both keep PNG alpha intact.
Both croppers here render on a canvas that keeps the alpha channel end-to-end: drag a rectangle in Image Cropper, or draw any shape in Freehand Crop, and the download stays a true transparent PNG.
Freehand crop shines on irregular subjects | trace around a product, a signature or a die-cut sticker and everything outside the path becomes transparent, not white or black.
Need the cropped PNG as a JPEG for a form? Run it through PNG to JPEG afterwards | transparency composites onto clean white there, exactly as portals expect.
Will cropping remove the transparent background?
No | both croppers output PNG with the alpha channel preserved. Only an explicit JPEG conversion flattens, and that fills white, never black.
Can I crop to a circle or custom shape?
Yes | Freehand Crop accepts any drawn path, and Circle Crop has the perfect-circle case covered with a slider.
Does this work on my phone?
Yes. The tool is fully responsive and touch friendly, and the whole conversion runs in the mobile browser itself | no app install.
