How to crop a photo to a square

Choose or drop a photo. A square frame appears on it.
Drag inside the frame to center the subject, and drag a corner to take in more or less of the photo.
Select Apply crop, then save from Export.

Want the whole photo in a square without cutting anything? Use Fit a photo in a square instead.
For Instagram portrait posts, the 4:5 shape shows larger in the feed than a square.
Profile photos are shown small, so crop close to the face.

What size should a square profile photo be?

Most sites show it under 400 pixels wide but accept larger. After cropping, resizing to 1080 px is a safe choice for Instagram and most networks.

Can I make a square without cropping?

Yes. Fit a photo in a square adds a blurred or solid background around the whole photo instead.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Pinch to zoom the view and drag the frame with one finger.
