  3. Add a ring if you like and move the photo until your face is centred.
  4. Check the small preview, then save.

Why use this tool

A profile picture is often seen at a tiny size, so it needs to read clearly. Cutting your photo to the right shape, centring your face and checking it small before you save helps your picture look good in comments, chats and lists.

Tips for best results

  • Put your face in the middle with a little space around the head.
  • Pick a simple, uncluttered background.
  • Check the tiny preview. If you cannot recognise yourself, zoom in.

Frequently asked questions

Why do platforms crop to a circle?

Most apps show profile pictures in a circle, so anything in the corners of a square photo is hidden.

What size should I upload?

A square image of at least a few hundred pixels per side works well almost everywhere.

Is it private?

Yes. The photo never leaves your browser.
