Crop an image to a square
To crop an image to a square, choose 1:1 in the box above, drag the picture so the important part is inside the frame, and download. A square of 1080 × 1080 pixels suits Instagram, and 500 × 500 suits a WhatsApp or LinkedIn profile picture.

How it works
- Drop your picture into the box above (the shape is already chosen).
- Drag the picture so the important part is inside the frame; zoom if you want it tighter.
- Download the cropped picture.
What 1:1 is used for
- Instagram and Facebook square posts (1080 × 1080).
- Profile pictures on WhatsApp, LinkedIn and X.
- Product pictures on Amazon, which wants a square (2000 × 2000).
- App icons and thumbnails.
Tip
Keep faces and text away from the very edge of the frame, since sites and apps often trim a little more.
Questions people ask
How do I crop a photo to a square without cutting off the face?
Drag the picture inside the frame until the face is centred, and use the zoom to include more or less.
How do I make a picture square without cropping?
Cropping always removes something. To keep everything, add padding around it instead: that is not done on this page.
