Square PFP Maker

Profile pictures have to be square. Upload a tall or wide photo and the platform crops it for you, usually around the center, which is rarely where your face is. Cropping it yourself first means you choose what stays in.

Open a photo, drag and zoom to frame it, and download a square PNG at the size you need.

Square now, circle later

Most platforms take your square and display it as a circle. So a good square crop also has to work as a circle. Press Circle to see which parts will be hidden, adjust the framing, then switch back to Square to download the full image.

Choosing a size

Bigger is safer, since platforms shrink images but cannot add detail.

• 1024 pixels: the best general choice. Sharp everywhere, including high resolution screens.
• 512 pixels: smaller file, still fine for chat apps and forums.
• 256 pixels: for sites with strict file size limits.

Splitting one picture into two

Square cropping is also how you make matching profile pictures from a single image. Load a picture with two people or two characters, frame one of them and download. Then drag across to the other and download again. The matching PFP maker creates a two-character picture made for this.

Your photo stays with you

The cropping is done by your browser on your own device. The photo is not uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else. You can even use the tool with your connection switched off once the page has loaded.
