About Crop Desk

Crop Desk is a free collection of 57+ browser-based tools for online forms, documents, Hindi typing and everyday work – starting with the bulk cropper that cuts many photos and signatures out of one sheet into numbered files.

Why we made it

In India, admission and exam season means filling hundreds of online forms. Schools, teachers and cyber cafe operators often receive one sheet with many people's photos and signatures pasted on it, and then spend hours cutting each one out in a photo editor. Crop Desk turns that into a few minutes: upload the sheet, check the boxes, download one ZIP.

What Crop Desk does

  • Detects two common sheet layouts automatically (signature above photo, or photo above signature)
  • Lets you draw boxes, add boxes or build a grid for any other form, and save layouts
  • Nudges and resizes boxes with simple buttons or arrow keys
  • Downloads all photos and signatures as 1_photo.jpg, 1_sign.jpg… in one ZIP, or one person at a time

Privacy first

All processing happens in your browser. Your sheets and the cropped photos are not uploaded to our server. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Independent and free

Crop Desk is an independent project. It is not affiliated with any government department, exam board, university or the e-Mitra / CSC programmes. The site may show ads to cover hosting costs; the tool stays free.

Guides

We also publish plain-language guides on photo and signature sizes, scanning and resizing for online forms. We try hard to be accurate, but official requirements change – always confirm with your exam's official notification. Read our editorial policy and how we test tools.

Who runs Crop Desk?

Crop Desk is a small, independent, India-based project built for the people who fill online forms every day – school offices, teachers, coaching institutes, eMitra/CSC operators, cyber cafés and students themselves. There is no company behind it selling your data, and you never need an account – an optional free account only exists to save your own work. Our mission is simple: useful tools that run privately on your own device.

Our free tools

How we keep it private

Every tool on Crop Desk runs in your browser using JavaScript. Photos, signatures, PDFs and text you open in a tool are processed on your phone or computer and are not sent to our server – even if you have an account. Only things you explicitly choose to save to your account (typing results, resume drafts, favourites, expense entries) are stored. That is why the tools keep working even on a slow connection once the page has loaded. Anonymous usage statistics (Google Analytics) and ads (Google AdSense) are explained in our Privacy Policy.

How we write our guides

Our guides are based on the official notifications and bulletins we cite in each article, and we mention the date they were last updated. Rules change between recruitments, so treat our numbers as a starting point and always check the latest official notification. If you spot an error, please tell us via the contact page – we correct mistakes quickly.
