Crop a profile picture without losing the face

Use square crops, margins, and preview checks to make better profile images for forms and social accounts.

Open Crop tool

Begin with a square crop and keep the face or logo centered. Leave breathing room because many apps display profile images inside circles.

If the image will appear very small, avoid busy backgrounds and export a file that is not too compressed.

Download a square copy first, then test it in the destination upload preview if the platform provides one.

Quick workflow

  1. Make a copy of the original image if it is important.
  2. Use the focused PixelForge tool for the task.
  3. Download the processed version and test it in the destination upload form.
