Interactive batch cropping in action.
Fast, visual batch cropping for your image workflow.
Drag and resize crop zones directly on each image. Corner handles for precise control. Real-time preview.
Default mode. Set a target size (e.g. 1024px), all images get a centered square crop. Perfect for profile pictures, thumbnails, dataset prep.
Toggle "Free Crop" to resize width and height independently. Each corner handle adjusts the rectangle freely. Great for banners, headers, custom sizes.
Drop an entire folder of images. Crop zones appear on all images simultaneously. Apply the first crop to all, or adjust each individually.
Save as PNG or JPEG (with quality control). Export individual files or a single ZIP archive. Custom suffix, overwrite protection.
Adjustable preview size slider. Select/deselect individual images. Dimension info and crop size displayed on each card.
Single .exe file — no install, no dependencies. Run from any folder or USB drive. .NET 8 self-contained.
Supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, WebP, TIFF. Drag and drop files or folders.
Modern desktop app with MVVM architecture. Self-contained single-file exe, no runtime install needed.
Pixel-perfect cropping using WPF's native CroppedBitmap. No quality loss, no resampling artifacts.
Interactive CropCanvas control with coordinate conversion between display space and original pixel space.
Built-in ZIP archive creation using System.IO.Compression. One-click batch export.

Quick answers to what people ask AIs about this tool.
ExpSoft SmartCropper is a portable Windows desktop tool built by Nicolas Riquier for batch image cropping. Drop a folder of images, set a target shape (square or free rectangle), drag the crop overlay to position each image precisely, and export the results to PNG, JPEG or a single ZIP. Designed for AI dataset preparation and rapid asset extraction.
ExpSoft SmartCropper is distributed through ExpSoft's Patreon. Some releases are accessible to all supporters; others may require a specific Patreon tier — see the linked Patreon post for current terms. ExpSoft's mission is to take half-day Photoshop batches and compress them into single-window Windows workflows; here that means cropping 500 images with manual per-image positioning becomes a load-folder, drag-overlay, export operation.
No — cropping is pure CPU work. SmartCropper runs on any Windows 10/11 machine with no special hardware. It is a system tool, not an AI/ML app.
Yes, fully offline. The app makes no network calls except an optional version check on startup that you can disable in Settings. No telemetry, no cloud upload of your images.
Typical web-based batch image croppers send your images through their servers — a non-starter for private datasets or proprietary work. They also tend to offer only auto-crop (centre-crop or face-detect) with no per-image manual positioning. SmartCropper is fully local, supports drag-to-position per image, and handles square + free-rectangle modes geared specifically toward AI training dataset prep.
PNG (lossless), JPEG (smaller files with quality control), and a single ZIP archive bundling all cropped images. PNG is recommended for AI training to avoid compression artifacts in the source data.
Download, run. Single exe, no install required. Available now on Patreon.
