Squares are everywhere — avatars, marketplace thumbnails, product grids, album art — and squashing a rectangle into one is how faces end up looking wrong.

The crop box here is locked to 1:1. Move it over the part that matters and resize it; it can’t become anything but square.

For product photos on a white background, centre the item with a little space around it: most shop grids crop tighter than you expect.

How to use it

  1. Drop in your image.
  2. Drag the square over the part you want, and resize it from a corner.
  3. Click “Crop & download”.

Frequently asked questions

What size should the square be?

Whatever the destination asks for after cropping: 1080 × 1080 for Instagram, 400 × 400 for most avatars, 2000 × 2000 for zoomable product photos.

Can I set exact pixel values?

Yes, the exact-size fields accept pixel values, and keep the square shape as you type.

Does it reduce quality?

Cropping removes pixels without resampling the rest, so the kept area is as sharp as the original.
