Crop Image to 16:9

Screens are 16:9; images mostly are not. Cropping to the widescreen ratio yourself decides which slice of the photo survives — instead of a player or platform deciding for you. Free with fair daily limits.

Where 16:9 rules

Video thumbnails, presentation slides, website heroes, stream overlays, TV displays — the widescreen frame is everywhere content meets a screen. Sources framed to it in advance fit those contexts without letterboxing or surprise trims.

Wide framing craft

16:9 rewards horizontal thinking: subjects placed by thirds, headroom controlled, edges kept clean for UI overlays. Lock the ratio and compose the slice deliberately. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
