# Square Image

> Free online square image tool. Crop or pad any photo into a perfect 1:1 square directly in your browser — no signup, no watermark, and your image is never uploaded.

Square Image is a free, privacy-first square image maker. All processing runs locally in the browser using the Canvas API, so images are never sent to a server. It offers two ways to make any photo square: Crop (cut a 1:1 region out of the photo, with drag-to-reposition and zoom in/out) and Fit (keep the whole image and pad the shorter sides with a solid color, transparency, or a blurred copy of the photo).

## Key facts
- A square image has a 1:1 aspect ratio, meaning equal width and height.
- Crop mode exports at the resolution of your selection; Fit mode keeps the image's original pixels, so making an image square does not reduce its quality.
- To make an image square without cropping, use Fit mode, which adds padding instead of cutting anything out.
- Fit mode backgrounds: white, black, transparent, custom color, or blurred image fill with adjustable blur radius.
- To convert a JPG or PNG to a square image, open it, crop or fit to 1:1, and download a square PNG — entirely in the browser.
- Supported input formats: PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF. Output: high-quality PNG.
- Common square image sizes: 1080×1080 (Instagram & Facebook posts), 1200×1200 (LinkedIn & X posts), 800×800 (Etsy & Amazon product photos), 400×400 (profile pictures & avatars), 512×512 (app icons & thumbnails), 500×500 (WhatsApp DP), 2048×2048 (high-resolution & print).
- Completely free: no signup, no subscription, no watermark, no upload. Works in any modern mobile or desktop browser.
