How to Crop an Image into a Heart — Free Online Tool

Learn how to crop any photo into a beautiful heart shape. Perfect for Valentine's, weddings, and romantic social media posts.

Heart-shaped images are a timeless way to express love and creativity. Whether you're designing a Valentine's Day card, a wedding invitation, or a romantic Instagram post, cropping your photo into a heart adds an instant emotional touch. Our free online editor makes it quick and private — no uploads, no signups.

When to Use Heart-Shaped Images

Heart crops work beautifully for engagement announcements, anniversary gifts, Mother's Day cards, and lifestyle content. The heart shape naturally draws attention to the subject's face and creates a warm, approachable feel that standard rectangles can't match.

How to Crop a Photo into a Heart (Step by Step)

Step 1: Upload Your Image

Open the Change Image Shape editor and upload your photo. We support JPG, PNG, and WebP formats up to 25 MB. You can also drag and drop directly onto the canvas.

Step 2: Select the Heart Mask

In the Shapes panel, click on Heart in the Popular category. The heart mask applies instantly — your image clips perfectly into the heart outline.

Step 3: Position Your Subject

Drag the image to position the most important part of your photo inside the heart. For portraits, keep faces centered. Use the scale slider to zoom in or out for the perfect framing.

Step 4: Add Effects

A pink or red border around the heart enhances the romantic feel. Drop shadows add depth for print projects. Experiment with glow effects for a soft, dreamy look.

Step 5: Export

Export as PNG for a transparent background around the heart — perfect for overlaying on colored cards or invitations. WebP offers smaller file sizes for web use.
