About Avatar & Aspect-Ratio Crop

Profile pictures and banners almost always need a specific shape. A square 1:1 crop is what most platforms expect for an avatar; a circle mask gives you a ready-to-use round profile photo with a transparent corner; 16:9 suits video thumbnails and cover banners. Cropping by eye to these shapes is fiddly — this tool locks the ratio so your selection stays perfectly square or wide while you just choose what's inside it.

Get a clean head-and-shoulders

For an avatar, center the face slightly above the middle and leave a little breathing room — faces cramped to the edge look awkward once a platform rounds the corners. Circle avatars export as PNG to preserve the transparent corners; square and 16:9 crops can be saved as JPG and compressed afterwards if you need a smaller file.

FAQ

What size should an avatar be?
A square 1:1 crop fits most platforms; they resize it as needed.
Why is my circle avatar a PNG?
PNG preserves the transparent corners around the circle.
Can I make a 16:9 cover image?
Yes, pick the 16:9 ratio and frame your shot.
