About this setting
Where you need a square
Square images are the default for profile pictures on almost every network, for product photos in online shops and marketplaces, and for album and podcast covers. Unlike the resize settings, which always cut from the centre, the crop tool lets you drag the square to the part of the photo you want.
The crop keeps the original pixels at full resolution. A 4000 × 3000 photo becomes a 3000 × 3000 square, which you can then resize to the exact size a site asks for.
Tips
- For a profile picture, leave some space above the head: many sites show the square as a circle.
- For product photos, leave an even margin around the product on all four sides.
- Need a specific pixel size? Crop here, then resize the square to that size.
