Crop and Compress Image Online

Last reviewed: May 2026

Most online tools either crop OR compress — never both. The usual flow is crop on one site, save the file, then upload to a second site to compress. Sukat does both in one workflow, in your browser, in a single session. Drop the image, click Crop, set the KB target, click Convert. Cropped + compressed in 30 seconds.

How to crop and compress in one step

  1. Upload your image. Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, or GIF onto Sukat. iPhone HEIC works directly.
  2. Crop to preset or free ratio. Click Crop. Pick a ratio preset (1:1 for profile photos, 16:9 for video thumbnails, 4:3 for prints, 3:4 for portraits) or use Free with the on-canvas dimension hint. Arrow keys nudge by one pixel.
  3. Set the KB target and download. Choose your target file size in KB or MB, pick the output format (JPEG / WebP / PNG / ICO), click Convert & Download. The cropped, compressed file saves locally.

Why Sukat for crop + compress

One tool, one session. Most "crop image online" sites only crop and offer no compression. Most "compress image online" sites don't crop at all. Sukat does both inside the same browser tab — no intermediate save / upload step.

Transparent crop preserves alpha. Cropping a transparent PNG keeps the alpha channel intact. Older versions of some tools (and an earlier Sukat bug we fixed) silently filled the cropped background with black.

Hits the KB target after the crop. The compressor's binary search runs on the cropped output, not the original, so the final file is always under your ceiling regardless of how aggressive the crop was.

HEIC input. iPhone HEIC photos drop in directly. Crop, compress to JPG, download — one workflow.

Privacy. Cropping and compression both run in your browser via the Canvas API. Your image never reaches a server.

FAQ

Can Sukat really crop and compress in one step?

Yes. Sukat is a single tool with both functions. Click Crop, frame the image, click Apply — then set Maximum File Size and click Convert. Most online tools force you to crop on one site, save the result, then upload to another for compression. Sukat does both inside the same browser session.

What aspect-ratio presets does Sukat have?

Free (any ratio with the dimension hint), 1:1 (square — profile photos, Instagram, passports), 16:9 (video thumbnails, slides), 4:3 (older displays, classic prints), and 3:4 (portrait, magazine layouts).

Does cropping preserve transparency for PNG?

Yes. Cropping a transparent PNG keeps the alpha channel intact. The cropped output PNG retains transparency exactly.

Can I crop and compress multiple images at once?

Sukat supports batch compression with a single per-batch KB target, but cropping is per-image (different photos need different framing). Workflow: open each image, crop, apply, repeat — all files queue up in the same session. Then set the KB target and ZIP option, and Convert downloads the entire batch.

Does Sukat upload my image during cropping or compression?

No. Cropping and compression both run in your browser via the Canvas API. Your image never reaches a server. Verify by switching to airplane mode after the page loads.

Can I crop and compress an iPhone HEIC photo?

Yes. The HEIC decoder is bundled with the page, so iPhone HEIC photos drop directly onto Sukat. Crop, set the target, choose output format (JPEG for portals, WebP for the web), download.
