Make a profile picture that looks right everywhere
Pan and zoom your photo inside a square or circular frame, pick a background and border, and export the correct size for every platform at once — all processed in your browser.

How it works
- 1
Add your photo
Drop in any photo — a portrait, a logo, or a full scene you want to crop down. Nothing is uploaded.
- 2
Frame it
Drag to reposition and zoom until the subject sits where you want it. Toggle the circular preview to see exactly what platforms that mask avatars will show.
- 3
Style the background and border
Choose a solid color, a blurred version of your own photo, or full transparency, then add padding and an optional border ring.
- 4
Export one size or all of them
Download a single image, or export every platform size at once as a ZIP so you can update all your accounts in one pass.
Common uses
- A consistent avatar across LinkedIn, GitHub, Slack and email
- Cropping a group photo down to just yourself
- Fitting a logo into a circular avatar without cutting it off
- Discord and gaming profiles with a clean border ring
- Team headshots framed and sized identically
- Refreshing every account at once after a new headshot
Why the circular preview matters
You upload a square image, but most platforms display it as a circle — anything near the corners is cut off. A framing that looks balanced as a square can lose an ear, a shoulder, or the edge of a logo once the circular mask is applied.
The circular preview shows the actual visible area while you pan and zoom, so you frame for the shape people will really see. If you're preparing a logo, the padding control helps here too: pulling the artwork slightly inward keeps it clear of the mask on every platform.
One photo, every platform size
Each platform has its own preferred avatar dimensions, and re-cropping the same photo separately for each account is tedious and produces slightly different framings. Here you frame once, and the tool renders that identical framing at every platform's size.
The multi-size export packages everything as a single ZIP with clearly named files, so updating LinkedIn, GitHub, Discord and the rest is just a matter of picking the matching file. Because platforms recompress uploads anyway, the tool exports at each platform's recommended dimensions rather than something needlessly large.
Good to know
- Platforms recompress and re-crop uploads on their side — the exported file is the best possible input, but the final rendering is up to each platform.
- Transparent backgrounds export as PNG; platforms that flatten avatars to JPG will fill transparency with white or their own background.
- Zooming far into a small or low-resolution source photo produces soft results — the tool can't add detail that isn't in the original.
- Recommended platform dimensions change occasionally; the presets track current published guidance but a platform can update at any time.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best size for a profile picture?
It depends on the platform, but a square image of 400–800 pixels covers most of them well. Platforms downscale large uploads automatically, while small ones get blurry when upscaled. The multi-size export handles the exact per-platform dimensions for you.
Why does the circular preview matter if I upload a square image?
Because most platforms mask avatars to a circle when displaying them, and the corners of your square image are cut off. Framing inside the circular preview guarantees nothing important — a face edge, part of a logo — disappears behind the mask.
Should I use a transparent or colored background?
For photos, a colored or blurred background usually looks best and renders consistently everywhere. Transparency suits logos, but only on platforms that keep PNG transparency — others flatten it to white. If in doubt, pick a solid color you control rather than relying on transparency.
Can I export for several platforms at once?
Yes. Frame your photo once, select the platforms you need, and download a ZIP containing a correctly sized file for each one. Every file uses the same framing, so your avatar looks identical across accounts.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Framing, background rendering and all exports happen locally in your browser. The photo stays on your device from start to finish.
