Free photo cropping tools

The final print format depends on the aspect ratio of the submitted file. As a rule of thumb, we always try to print your photo to ratio, as large as possible onto your selected format. For instance, you order a photo that’s 20×20-20×30. Depending on the aspect ratio, this will result in different formats:

So, if you’re after a specific format you must take the photo’s aspect ratio into account. You can crop the photo yourself afterwards, but the better option is to submit the photo in the correct aspect ratio, to ensure everything runs smoothly. For this you can use software such as Photoshop and Lightroom, but the free websites listed below are also great for photo cropping, after which you can submit them to us in the right aspect ratio.
