What size should a profile picture be?

Use the platform's current official guidance when available. X recommends 400×400 px. LinkedIn accepts profile photos from 400×400 px upward. Other platforms rescale and crop uploads, so an 800×800 px square is a useful working preset rather than a guaranteed requirement.

Do I need a different photo for each platform?

Usually not. Keep the subject inside the circular guide and export a high-resolution square master. Use a platform-specific preset only when its current upload guidance calls for one.

Is my photo uploaded to your server?

No. All cropping and resizing happens locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.

What file format should I export?

JPEG works best for photos (smaller file size). PNG is better for logos or images with text and transparent backgrounds. Most platforms accept both.

Why does my profile picture look blurry after upload?

A small source image, aggressive cropping, or platform recompression can reduce quality. Start with a larger source, avoid excessive zoom, and export at the platform's current recommended dimensions.
