Frequently asked questions
What size should a profile picture be?
Most platforms show profile pictures as a small circle but accept a square upload: 400 × 400 px or larger works almost everywhere. LinkedIn and YouTube look sharpest at 800 × 800.
Should I upload a square or a round profile picture?
Upload the square. Sites crop it to a circle themselves. A round PNG with transparent corners is useful for slides, email signatures and websites.
How do I change the background of my profile picture?
Use the free profile picture background tool first: it removes the background and lets you pick a clean colour or a studio backdrop. Then frame and size it here.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Cropping and resizing happen entirely in your browser.
