Can I make a photo square without cutting anything off?

Not with a crop: a square crop of a non-square photo always leaves part of it out. Filling the spare space with a border instead is a different job, and this tool does not do it.

What size will my square be?

As large as the photo allows: the full height of a wide photo, or the full width of a tall one. You can type a smaller size in the Size fields, or set exact pixels in the image resizer afterwards.

Can I square photos of different shapes at once?

Yes. Each photo gets a square in the same relative place, and a photo of a different shape from the first still comes out square.

Is this the right page for a profile picture?

The PFP cropper is better for that: it draws the circle many apps show, so your face lands inside it.

Choose what stays in

A square from a wide or tall photo always leaves part of it out, so the question is which part. The box opens as the largest square that fits, centered, and you slide it over the part that matters.

Lining the subject up with the grid lines, rather than dead center, often makes a square look less cramped.

Slide the square. Move it over the part you want to keep.
Save them. Each photo saves as its own square JPG.

Squaring a set of product photos

Product photos look tidier when every one is the same shape. Add the whole set and each comes out square, even the ones that are a different shape from the first, with the square in the same relative place.

Shopify's help says 2048 × 2048 usually displays best for square product images, and Instagram keeps a square at up to 1080 × 1080.

Need it at an exact size like 2048 × 2048? Crop here, then use the image resizer.

The three sizes to scale, with this photo's square inside. A square can only be as big as the photo's short side, so this one gives 900 × 900.
