How to Make Image Square (3 Steps)
Upload your photo
Click the upload area or drag and drop. Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF. Your image is processed in the browser—no upload to servers. Works on mobile: open in Safari or Chrome, select from camera roll.
Choose your method
Blur background or solid color keeps your full photo and fills the square (no cropping). Crop lets you select the exact area to keep. Resize scales the full image to fit square with borders—best when you want everything visible.
Export your square image

| Crop to Square | Select the area to keep; removes the rest | Headshots, product close-ups, intentional composition |
