Turn any photo into a perfect square without cropping — the whole image is kept and centered with padding around it. Choose the background color, padding amount and output size, ideal for Instagram and other social feeds that prefer squares. Everything runs in your browser; your image is never uploaded.
How to use
- Choose an image from your device.
- Pick a background color, padding and output size.
- Download the square image as PNG or JPEG.
How it works
Instead of cropping, the image is scaled to fit inside a square canvas and centered, leaving even margins on the shorter sides. Padding adds extra space around it for a framed look. A transparent background is kept in PNG output, while JPEG uses the chosen solid color.
