Profile Picture Size Guide

Almost every platform shows your profile picture inside a circle or rounded square, and they all start from a square image. Uploading a square photo means nothing important gets cut off by the circular crop. Recommended square sizes: • 400 × 400 px — a safe, universal default that every platform accepts • 512 × 512 px — a touch sharper on high-resolution screens • A common minimum is around 200 × 200 px; bigger uploads simply look crisper Where it works: • Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, X, TikTok, LinkedIn profile photos • Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack and Discord avatars • Forum, Gravatar and account avatars How to use this page: • "Fill" crops your photo to a centered square automatically • Keep your face centered so the circular crop doesn't clip it, or frame it first with our Crop tool • Tap "Adjust" for 512×512, 800×800, or any custom size

What is the best size for a profile picture?

A square image works on every platform; 400 × 400 pixels is a safe universal default, while 512 × 512 or 800 × 800 look sharper on modern screens. Most sites crop the square into a circle, so keep your face centred. Resize any photo to a clean square here.
