How to Crop Photos and Images

A great avatar or profile picture usually hides inside a bigger photo. The subject sits off to one side, dead space fills the frame, or a scanned picture carries a white border you never wanted. Cropping fixes all of it — you keep the part that matters and cut the rest. Total Image Converter crops JPG, PNG and BMP photos in a few clicks, one image at a time or a small batch together.

Quick answer: To crop a photo, launch Total Image Converter, pick the folder in the file tree, check the image you want, and press Crop. In the wizard set a destination folder, open the Transform step, and either trim a set number of pixels from each side or drag a rectangle with the Select button. Press Start and the cropped copy is saved — offline, with your original untouched.

How do I crop a photo for my avatar?

Start with the whole picture and cut it down to the face or subject you want. Total Image Converter shows the result as you set the crop, so you frame an avatar exactly instead of guessing.

1. Launch Total Image Converter and select the folder with your photos from the file tree on the right.
2. Check the image you want to crop — a JPG, PNG or BMP.
3. Press the Crop button. The Wizard opens.
4. In the Select Destination step choose an output folder and a name for the new file.
5. Go to the Transform step and press Crop. Trim a set number of pixels from each side, or press Select to drag a rectangle and watch the preview update. Press Ok when the frame looks right.
6. Open the Finish step, review your settings, and press Start!

Can I crop several photos at once?

Yes. Check more than one image before you press Crop and the program applies the same pixel trim to every file in the batch. This is ideal when you scanned a stack of prints with the same white border, or exported product shots that all need the same edge cut. For a large batch of one specific format you can also follow the dedicated Crop TIFF in batch guide.

• Crop JPG, PNG and BMP photos without opening a heavy editor
• Trim exact pixels from each side, or draw a rectangle by eye
• See the crop preview before you commit
• Keep the original file — the cropped copy is saved separately
• Optionally open the destination folder the moment the job finishes

Because the crop runs on your own PC, your photos never leave the machine — a real advantage over browser upload tools when the picture is personal. Need a different output format after cropping? The same app doubles as a JPEG converter.

Tip: the wizard can delete the original after cropping. Think twice before you tick that box — leave it off and you always keep the full photo to re-crop later.

Tip: the rectangle you drag in the Select step reports its pixel size, so you can match an exact avatar dimension like 400×400 without extra math.
