Frequently Asked Questions
How do I crop a picture into a square?
Upload the photo and click Crop. The largest square from the centre of the image is cut out automatically.
What size is the square image?
The square’s side equals the shorter side of your photo — a 4000×3000 photo becomes 3000×3000. Resize it afterwards if you need a smaller size.
How do I make a square profile picture?
Crop it square here, then resize to the size the platform recommends, for example 400×400 for X/Twitter or 320×320 for Instagram.
Can I make a square image without cropping?
Not with this tool — it crops. If you want the whole photo on a square canvas, use the Instagram Post Resizer, which crops to fill 1080×1080.
Which part of my photo is kept?
The centre. Make sure the face or product is in the middle before cropping.
What is a 1:1 aspect ratio?
Width and height are equal — a perfect square.
Does the square crop keep image quality?
Yes. Pixels inside the square are untouched.
Can I square-crop PNG with transparency?
Yes. PNGs stay PNG and keep their transparent areas.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, it runs in any mobile browser.
Is the photo saved on your server?
No. It is processed in memory and deleted straight after cropping.
