How to crop an image to square

  1. Choose your photo. Select one image or a batch from your device. Nothing is sent to a server for cropping.
  2. Adjust the square frame. The tool starts with a 1:1 square crop. Open the crop editor to position your subject. For a batch, use a shared position or adjust each image separately.
  3. Process and download. Check the composition, start processing, then save an individual image or all results as a ZIP. Output quality depends on the source image, export format, and settings.

When a square crop works best

  • Profile photos: center your face and leave a little room around it, especially if the profile will appear inside a circle.
  • Product images: give a catalog a consistent square shape while keeping the full product inside the crop.
  • Social posts and photo grids: crop a picture to square for even rows of thumbnails without stretching the scene.

Cropping removes the edges outside your frame. To keep the whole photo instead, use image resizing. After cropping, you can compress the image for a smaller file, convert its format, or use the product image workspace to prepare a batch for your store.
