How to Make a Circle Profile Picture That Isn't Cut Off
Most apps display profile pictures as circles but accept square uploads — so the corners get hidden. The fix is keeping your subject centered with margin.
Profile pictures upload square (e.g. 400×400) and are cropped to a circle on display.
- Use a square source. Profile pictures upload square (e.g. 400×400) and are cropped to a circle on display.
- Center the subject with margin. Keep the face or logo in the middle ~80%, away from the corners that get clipped.
- Upload larger for crispness. Even where the minimum is small (TikTok 200×200), upload ~800×800 so it stays sharp.
- Generate it pre-cropped. AI All Social shows a circle-safe overlay and exports the avatar at the exact size, subject centered.
