Step by Step

How to Profile Picture

01

Upload Your Photo

Drag a selfie or headshot onto the page. Higher resolution is better — the final profile picture will look sharper on Retina screens.

02

Choose Shape

Pick circle (LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Discord display as circle), or square (the safe default that any platform will accept).

03

Center Your Face

Drag to position your face in the middle, leaving a small margin around the edges. Avoid cropping too tightly.

04

Download

Download as PNG for transparent background (circle output) or JPG for smaller file size (square output).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should a profile picture be?

Most platforms display at 100–200 pixels but require larger uploads. Standard recommended sizes: LinkedIn 400×400, Instagram 320×320 (upload at 1080×1080), WhatsApp 500×500, Discord 512×512.

Should I crop my profile picture to a circle?

It depends on your destination. Discord, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and Slack all display profile pictures as circles, so cropping to a circle (downloaded as PNG) ensures the visible area looks intentional. Twitter/X and Instagram also mask to circles in some places.

How do I make sure my face isn't cut off?

Leave at least 10–15% padding around your face when cropping. Many platforms display profile pictures in even smaller circles than the upload size, so a tight crop will look worse after the platform's mask.

Do I lose quality when I crop?

Cropping doesn't reduce quality if the source is large enough. Start with at least a 1080×1080 selfie or larger and you can crop to any standard profile size without visible loss.

Can I add a background or border?

Not in the basic crop tool. For backgrounds or borders, crop here first, then use a separate background/border tool — the cropped output is a clean image you can layer.
