Crop Image to 16:9

Locked to 16:9, cropped in your browser.

16:9 is the widescreen ratio used by video, slide decks, and website hero banners. Cropping a photo to 16:9 trims the top and bottom into a wide strip that fills a 1920x1080 frame with no letterbox bars. Move the box to keep the subject sitting on the horizon line. Nothing is uploaded.

Questions people ask

What resolution is 16:9?

16:9 is a ratio, not a fixed size, so it covers 1280x720, 1920x1080, 2560x1440 and any frame where width divided by height is about 1.78. Export at the size your video or slide needs and the crop keeps the proportions exact.

Why is 16:9 the standard for video?

Screens, players, and projectors are built around 16:9, so a 16:9 image fills them edge to edge with no black bars. Slide software like PowerPoint and Google Slides also defaults to it, which is why hero banners copy the shape.
