About this tool
WhatsApp shows profile pictures as a circle cut from a square. A square picture around 500 x 500 pixels works well. This tool makes your photo square without squashing it.
How to use it
- Choose your photo.
- Keep 500 x 500.
- Choose Fit inside if you do not want the edges cut.
- Press Resize Image, download and set it as your picture.
A good profile picture
Put the face or the main subject in the centre, because WhatsApp shows a circle and the corners are cut. A square picture of 500 by 500 pixels is sharp enough on all phones.
If your photo is wide, use Fit inside to avoid cutting people off, or crop it to a square first with the crop tool.
Common questions
Why does WhatsApp crop my picture?
It shows pictures in a circle, so anything near the corners can be cut off.
Which size should I use?
500 x 500 pixels is a good simple choice. Bigger squares also work.
Can I fit a full photo without cropping?
Yes. Choose Fit inside to add borders instead of trimming.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works in any modern phone browser.
