Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a profile picture be?
Most platforms display profile pictures as circles or squares in feeds, but require higher upload resolution: Instagram recommends 320×320, Twitter/X 400×400, LinkedIn 400×400 (min), YouTube 800×800, TikTok 200×200, Facebook 180×180 minimum. Upload at least 400×400 for sharp display across all platforms.
Should I upload a circle or square profile photo?
Upload a square photo — platforms automatically apply circle cropping (and you can preview it here). Most platforms including Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok display profile photos as circles. LinkedIn also shows square profile photos on the PDF resume export.
What's the best background color for a profile picture?
Plain or subtly blurred backgrounds work best. White or light grey backgrounds look clean and professional. If you're a brand or creator, using your brand color as background can strengthen recognition. Avoid busy or distracting backgrounds — your face or logo should be the focal point.

Yes, completely free with no account required. Your photos are processed entirely in your browser — they are never uploaded to any server.
