Images are a vital part of any modern website. High-quality images help convey information, set the visual style, and engage visitors. However, most images need some editing before being display-ready for the web. One of the most common editing tasks is cropping images to highlight key subjects and fit specific layouts.
Luckily, there are many great online image crop tools that can quickly edit images right in your browser. Here are some top options:

Once you've cropped your images, you'll need to add them to your website code. Here is an example using HTML:
<img src="cool-photo-cropped.jpg" alt="Cropped photo" width="400" height="300">
The <img> tag embeds an image in your HTML document and the src attribute points to the image file. Set alternate text with the alt attribute and dimensions with width and height.
The key to cropping is focusing on the most important visual details and optimizing for the layout. These online tools make it easy to crop on the fly and save optimized versions of your images to use on your site. Sharp, well-cropped images make for more engaging and effective websites.
