What this tool is for
Resize & crop an image
Change dimensions or crop to the shape you need. The aim is a useful result without making you learn a full piece of software first.
Image & Photo
Pick the shape and width you need. OutMonkey makes a new copy and leaves your original untouched.
Good to know
A 4:5 crop is useful for portrait social posts, 1:1 for square placements, and 16:9 for widescreen layouts.
Before you finish
OutMonkey is built to be simple enough for someone doing this once and useful enough for someone who does it every day.
What this tool is for
Change dimensions or crop to the shape you need. The aim is a useful result without making you learn a full piece of software first.
Good to know
Open the finished image once before you send or upload it. Check the crop, sharpness and file size at normal viewing size, not only while zoomed in.
Choose the final destination first. A crop for email, print, a profile picture and a vertical post can all need different proportions.
In plain English
If you are helping someone who does not work with images every day, the destination matters more than the jargon: email, print, a website, an ID form or social media.
For most image jobs, start with where the image is going: email, print, a website, an ID form or a social platform.
File size & formats
JPG, PNG and WebP are the safest choices. Other image formats work when your browser can decode them.
There is no extra OutMonkey upload-size cap in the browser interface. Very high-resolution images can still hit your browser or device memory limit, especially when enlarging them.
If an enormous image will not process, use a smaller copy or reduce its pixel dimensions first. Keep the original untouched.
