Fill or fit?

Fill and crop scales the image until it covers the whole frame and trims the overflow; use the position sliders to choose what stays visible. Fit keeps the entire image and adds a background color in the empty space.

Private by design

The image is opened and processed by your browser on your own device. It is not uploaded to a server, so the tool also works offline once the page has loaded.
