Crop a clean profile picture

The problem

Profile photos often get auto-cropped into circles, cutting off faces, logos, or important details.

Recommended workflow

1. Use a square crop preset.
2. Keep the subject centered with margin.
3. Export PNG for logos or JPG for photos.

Before you start

Check the destination requirement first: accepted format, maximum file size, preferred dimensions, and whether the page will crop the preview. This makes the Crop tool settings easier to choose.

After export

Open the downloaded file, compare it with the original, and test one sample in the real destination before processing the rest of the images. If the preview looks soft or cropped, adjust dimensions before trying another compression pass.

Useful next step

If the exported file still fails, try a second pass with a related tool: resize before compressing, crop before making a profile picture, or convert format before attaching the file to a system that rejects modern image types.
