Should I crop for circular or square, if I'm not sure which the platform uses?

Cropping with the subject centered works for either — most platforms with circular avatars simply mask a square image into a circle, so a well-centered square crop looks good in both cases.

Can I zoom or reposition the crop area?

Yes, you can adjust the crop position and zoom level before finalizing to frame the photo exactly how you want.

What resolution should my source photo be?

A higher resolution original holds up better across the range of sizes different platforms display avatars at, from small thumbnails to larger profile views.

Does Profile Picture Maker upload my files to a server?

No. Profile Picture Maker runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

A profile picture needs to be cropped and framed correctly for whichever platform it's going on, and different platforms display avatars differently — some circular, some square — which affects how a photo should actually be framed. This tool crops and resizes a photo into a circular or square profile picture for any platform, helping you frame it correctly for how it'll actually display.
