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.

The 30-day trial is fully functional — no email or credit card. Download it, crop a photo, and see how fast a clean avatar comes out. A personal license starts at $49.90 and runs on Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11.

Total Image Converter Customer Reviews 2026

Rated 4.7/5 based on customer reviews

"Our members send in race photos for their profile badges, and every one arrives with a different amount of empty background. Total Image Converter let me drag a square rectangle and read the pixel size right off the preview, so all the avatars came out the same 400 by 400 crop. Doing a dozen at once instead of opening a photo editor for each saved my whole afternoon."

5 Star Priya Raghunathan Community Manager, Northgate Runners Club

"I scanned a shoebox of old family prints and every scan had a thick white border around the picture. Trimming a fixed number of pixels from each side and applying it to the whole batch cleared the borders in one pass. The originals stayed untouched, which mattered to me since these are the only copies I have."

4 Star Marcus Whitfield Genealogy Hobbyist

"My product photos always had too much table showing around the piece. I cropped each shot to focus on the ceramic and the preview meant I never guessed at the frame. The cropped JPGs stayed sharp for the zoom view on my listings, and nothing ever left my laptop, which I like for shop photos."

Cropping Photos and Images — FAQ ▼

How do I crop a photo?

Launch Total Image Converter, open the folder in the file tree, check the photo, and press Crop. In the wizard pick a destination folder, open the Transform step, trim pixels from each side or drag a rectangle, then press Start. The cropped copy is saved and your original stays as it was.

Can I crop JPG, PNG and BMP images?

Yes. Total Image Converter crops JPG, PNG and BMP photos the same way. Check the image, press Crop, set the frame, and the program writes the cropped file in the same format you started with.

Can I crop several photos in one go?

Yes. Check more than one image before pressing Crop and Total Image Converter applies the same pixel trim to every file. It is the fast way to remove an identical border from a batch of scans or exported pictures.

How do I crop a photo to make an avatar?

Draw a rectangle with the Select button and watch the preview until the face or subject fills the frame. The rectangle shows its pixel size, so you can match a square avatar dimension exactly before you press Start.

Will cropping lower the quality of my photo?

No. Total Image Converter simply removes the pixels outside your frame and keeps the rest at full quality. There is no recompression of the area you keep, so an avatar or profile picture stays as sharp as the original.

Does cropping delete my original photo?

Not unless you ask it to. The cropped image is saved as a new file in the destination folder you choose. There is an option to delete originals, but it is off by default, so your source photo is safe.

Is Total Image Converter free to try?

Total Image Converter comes with a fully functional 30-day trial and needs no email or credit card. A personal license starts at $49.90 and unlocks unlimited cropping after the trial.
