Pano 18:9 Crop

It crops images to an 18:9 aspect ratio, which is the same shape as 2:1: twice as wide as it is tall. The crop is centered automatically. If a photo is wider than 2:1, the sides are trimmed; if it is narrower, the top and bottom are trimmed. No pixels are resampled, so the cropped area keeps the full resolution of your original.

Drop your images onto the Drop images here or click to upload area, or click it to choose files. Each one is listed as Ready. Click Process & Download and the tool crops every image in turn, marking each as Processing and then Done. The results download as JPGs with pano_18_9_ added to the start of each original file name.

No, the crop is always centered, which works well for most landscapes, skylines, and scenes where the subject sits near the middle. If your subject is near the top, bottom, or one side, crop it manually in your editor instead, or recompose with more space around the subject when you shoot so the centered 2:1 crop includes it.

The cropped images are saved as JPGs at 95 percent quality, high enough for print and web with no visible compression in normal viewing. The pixel dimensions match the cropped area of your original exactly. A 6000 by 4000 pixel photo, for example, becomes 6000 by 3000 pixels, because the tool trims 500 pixels from the top and bottom.

The 2:1 shape suits website hero banners, blog headers, widescreen slideshows, and panoramic prints, and it gives landscapes and cityscapes a cinematic, wide feel. Wedding and event photographers often use it for venue overviews and gallery cover images. Because the tool works in batches, you can produce a consistent set of panoramic crops for a whole series quickly.
