Square or Circle?
Most apps apply their own round mask, so a plain square crop (the 1:1 ratio) is usually the safest upload. The circle option saves a PNG whose corners are transparent, which is useful when you want a round image to place on a page or slide. Untick the circle option to get a square again.
Tips for a Better Profile Picture
- Center your face and leave a little room around the head.
- Start from the largest, sharpest original you have; if it is small, enlarge it first with the upscaler.
- If the photo is grainy or soft, try the denoiser or the blurry photo fixer before cropping.
