Profile Picture Preview: How Your Photo Will Look on Each Platform
Different platforms display profile pictures at different sizes and shapes β circle, square, with overlays. This tool previews how your photo will appear on Instagram, X, LinkedIn, KakaoTalk, and more so you can adjust before uploading.
Almost every social platform crops profile photos to a circle, but they crop different ways. A photo that looks good on Instagram may have your chin cut off on LinkedIn. A KakaoTalk profile photo might fit fine in the chat list but look strange in the full profile view.
This tool overlays your photo with masks for each platform so you can see at a glance whether the framing works.

Extended FAQ
Why do my edges get cut off?
Most platforms display profile photos as circles, but you upload a square. The corners get cropped invisibly. Plan your composition with the circle in mind.
What size should I upload?
Most platforms accept 400Γ400 minimum, with HiDPI displays preferring 800Γ800 or 1000Γ1000. Larger always works; smaller may look soft on retina screens.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Your photo is cropped into each shape on a canvas in the browser and is never sent to any of the platforms shown.
