Make an image square without distorting it

Image editor

Make any photo square, remove one-colour backgrounds and borders, or crop images and animated GIFs into shapes (heart, star, circle…). Everything is processed in your browser: nothing is uploaded to any server.

Borderless image

Automatic two-step process: the image is made square by padding it with a white border and, at the same time, a version with that border removed (transparent) is generated. Only the colour touching the edges is removed; the inside is untouched even if it contains white.

If some border remains, raise the tolerance; if it eats into the image, lower it.

Preview

The preview is the real result at the chosen output size. Rescaling uses step-down reduction so it does not look blurry or pixelated.

Upload the photo and choose how to fill the square: blurred background (Instagram style), solid colour, stretched or centre crop. Pick the output size (e.g. 1080×1080) and download as PNG, JPG or WEBP. Everything runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a photo square without cropping?+

Choose “Blur” or “Colour” mode: the whole photo is placed in the centre and the rest of the square is filled with a blurred background or the colour you pick.

What size for Instagram?+

1080×1080 px is the standard size for square posts. You can type any other size.

What if I want to remove the white border?+

Use the “Borderless image” tab: it squares the image with a white border and at the same time generates the version with that border removed (transparent), with two download buttons.
