PIXELS + KBHow should it fit?
The circle is a preview, not a cut-out. Your file stays a square JPG.
× 500 px
Exact pixels, not a maximum. We won’t silently shrink this size to hit your KB limit.
10–10,000 KB. We use 1 KB = 1,000 bytes to stay safely below the limit.
JPG OUT
Your download is a JPG. Transparent areas become white. If we can’t meet both your pixel size and KB limit at our quality floor, we’ll say so. No hidden resize.

Why are there three ways to make a square?
Same picture, different framing. The dotted circle shows what a circular profile display can hide. Follow the four orange corner markers.
All three downloads are square JPGs. A receiving site may apply its own crop or zoom.
THE SHORT VERSION
Square. Sized. Ready.
Set pixels and KB
Start with 500 × 500 px and 200 KB, or change them to match the receiving site. These are starting values, not a universal profile requirement.
Inspect your square
Check both the square and circular preview. Confirm the result’s dimensions and file size, then download the square JPG.
GOOD TO KNOW
Fill the square, without stretching.
A rectangular photo cannot fill a square and keep every edge without either being stretched or gaining a border. This crop keeps the photo’s proportions and removes the extra area outside your square. A wide photo loses some of its left and right edges; a tall photo loses some of its top and bottom.
Start with enough room around the face, then reposition the crop and zoom to frame it. Some destinations display square uploads inside a circle. Use the circular preview to see what would be hidden by that shape, and keep important details away from the corners.
If a crop cuts off someone or something you need, choose square padding without cropping. That page also explains the extra margin needed to keep an entire rectangular photo or logo inside a circle. If the shape already works and only the file is too large, use image file-size compression.
A FEW ANSWERS
Before you download.
Is 500 × 500 px under 200 KB the right profile-picture size?
It is a convenient starting example, not a rule for every website. Check your destination’s current requirements and enter its exact square side length and maximum file size. A site may also impose minimum dimensions or reject JPG files for other reasons.
Why does my square image get cut off in a circular avatar?
A circle hides the corners of a square. The circular preview shows that mask, but the download remains a square JPG. Keep the important part in the circle, or choose the tool’s circle-safe fit to add enough white margin around the whole image. The receiving site may still apply its own zoom or crop.
Will it change my square dimensions to meet the KB limit?
No. Square mode keeps the selected pixel dimensions. If compression cannot bring that square below the limit, it shows an error instead of returning a different size. Try a higher KB limit if allowed, or reduce the square dimensions only if the receiving site permits it.
Can this make a compliant passport or ID photo?
No. It changes shape, dimensions, and file size; it does not check official rules about face placement, background, lighting, expression, or edits. Follow the receiving authority’s instructions and do not treat a successful size result as compliance approval.
Your photo never leaves this browser.
The image tool runs on your device. No image uploads or saved image history. Refreshing clears the workspace; downloaded files remain on your device. The original file is never changed. Optional Google Analytics and Statsig help us understand visits, tool use, and experiments only if you allow analytics. We never send photos, filenames, or embedded image metadata.
Analytics providers receive ordinary connection information, such as your IP address and browser, plus a random browser identifier and limited usage events such as the selected mode and coarse file-size buckets. Decline or change your choice with Analytics preferences at the bottom of the page. The tool works either way. Loading the website still makes normal hosting requests.
Free to use, with no account or watermark. Downloads are JPG files, including when the original is PNG; transparent areas become white. Check the receiving site’s format, dimensions, minimum size, and photo-quality rules. This tool does not certify passport or application photos.
