Profile picture maker

An avatar cropped exactly the way you want

Almost every profile picture, on almost every platform, ends up cropped to a square or displayed inside a circle. Rather than let a website's own automatic cropper decide where to cut, this tool lets you frame it yourself: drag your photo around and zoom in until your face — or whatever the subject is — sits exactly where you want it inside a perfect 1:1 square.

Circle or square

Most social networks and chat apps display avatars inside a circle, so that's the default here, exported as a PNG with a transparent background outside the circle — it drops cleanly onto any background color the platform uses. Choose square instead for platforms that keep the corners, or if you'd rather crop it yourself afterward.

Choosing an export size

512×512 covers most platforms comfortably; go up to 1024×1024 if you want extra headroom for a site that displays a larger version, or down to 256×256 for a smaller file. Native resolution exports at whatever size is actually visible in the frame at your current zoom, without artificially enlarging it, which matters if you zoomed in close on a smaller source photo.

Touch and mouse both work

Dragging and zooming respond to a mouse, a trackpad, or a finger on a touchscreen, including two-finger pinch to zoom, so framing your face feels just as natural on a phone as on a computer.

Privacy

Your photo is cropped entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded.
