How to crop a picture to 4:3
- Open your picture — the 4:3 frame is already locked in place.
- Drag the frame onto the part you want and pull a corner to resize it; it keeps its shape however you drag.
- Press Crop Picture and download, copy or share the result.
Where 4:3 is used
- Phone camera photos — most phones shoot 4:3 by default; the photo cropper has composition guides on.
- Tablets such as the iPad, and older monitors and projectors.
- Compact cameras and many document scans.
- Portrait 3:4 for prints and some social layouts.
Common pixel sizes
| Use | Size |
|---|---|
| Classic screen | 1024 × 768 |
| Tablet | 2048 × 1536 |
| 12 MP phone photo | 4032 × 3024 |
| Portrait 3:4 | 1080 × 1440 |
Because most phones already shoot 4:3, choosing it after a free crop mostly helps you get back to the native shape — useful when a set of photos must match.
