Snap Crop

Preview release — This extension is in early development. Features may be incomplete or unstable. Bug reports and feedback via GitHub Issues are very welcome!

Crop images directly inside VS Code — no external tools needed.

Open any image, draw a crop region, and save it in one click. Snap Crop is especially handy when working with screenshots for documentation or Markdown files. It also supports Retina: if your screenshots are captured at @2x resolution, the built-in downscale option saves the cropped image at half size so it renders crisp at 1× on the web.

Usage

Right-click an image in the Explorer → snap crop...

Features

• Crop — visually select a crop region with an interactive cropper
• Size presets — save and reuse fixed crop sizes (e.g. 64×64 icons)
• Custom filename — optionally set the output filename
• Copy Link — automatically copy a Markdown image link (![](https://github.com/GreenNode-jp/vsc-snap-crop/raw/HEAD/...path)) to the clipboard after saving
• Downscale for Retina (1/2) — save the cropped image at half size, ideal for @2x assets

Supported Formats

PNG, JPEG, BMP
