Crop photo to square online when platforms require 1:1 aspect ratio. Upload, set a square crop box, center your subject, and download a perfectly square image.
Square crops dominate profile photos and many social feeds—center faces for avatars.
Export at least 600×600 px for crisp avatars on retina displays.
How to use this tool
Upload the photo, select square aspect ratio, drag the crop box to frame the subject, download.
Worked example
Example: crop a 16:9 screenshot to 1:1 for an Instagram feed post.
When to use this
- Instagram feed posts from landscape sources.
- Profile and avatar uploads.
- App icon source frames.
Common examples
- 16:9 screenshot → 1:1 crop for Instagram feed post.
- Passport-style headshot → tight face crop before resize to 600×600.
- Map screenshot → crop to highlight a neighborhood before annotating.
- Landscape vacation photo → 4:5 crop for Instagram feed.
- Document scan with margins → crop to content before OCR or PDF merge.

How it works
Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF, then set the crop area with the on-image handles or pixel inputs. Optional aspect-ratio presets keep the selection proportional. Cropping runs on your device—files are not uploaded or stored. GIF output is saved as PNG.
Limitations
Results are based on the inputs you provide and may not cover every edge case. This tool is for general use and is not professional advice.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I lock 1:1 aspect ratio?
Yes—choose square preset so the crop box stays 1:1 while you reposition.
What pixel size should I export?
1080×1080 is common for Instagram; 400×400 minimum for many avatars.
Will quality drop?
Cropping does not compress—resize only if the output dimensions are too large.
