Choose an image. The square crop is calculated automatically.

Make a 1:1 image for profiles and product grids

Profile pictures, marketplace listings and many form photo fields expect a square image and will crop anything else unpredictably. Make Image Square gives you control by producing a centred square first. Doing it yourself also avoids a site's automatic crop cutting off a chin or a product edge.

  • Preparing a profile photo or avatar.
  • Making product photos line up in a square grid.
  • Getting a square base before resizing to 600 × 600 or another required size.

Centre crop to the shorter side

The square's side equals the image's shorter side, and it is taken from the exact centre. A 4000 × 3000 photo becomes 3000 × 3000. No padding or background is added.

  • If your subject isn't centred, use Crop Image with the Square preset and position the box yourself.

Check heads and edges

Centre cropping can cut off the top of a head in portrait photos or the ends of a wide product. Output is PNG; resize and compress afterwards to hit a form's pixel and KB requirements.

Make image square: questions

Which part of the image is kept?

The centre. The square's side equals the shorter side of your image.

Can I add white borders instead of cropping?

No. This tool crops; it doesn't pad.

How do I choose which part to keep?

Use Crop Image with the Square preset and position the box yourself.

How do I make a 600 × 600 profile photo?

Make it square here, then set 600 in Image Resizer with the aspect ratio locked.
