Frequently asked questions
How do I put a full photo on my WhatsApp profile without cropping it?
WhatsApp only accepts a square crop, so the only way to show the whole photo is to turn it into a square first: the photo is scaled down to fit completely inside 640×640 pixels and the leftover space is filled with a color, usually black. This tool does it in one step: pick the photo, adjust the border and download the result, ready to upload.
Why does WhatsApp crop my profile picture?
WhatsApp makes you choose a square crop and shows it inside a circle. If the photo is portrait or landscape, you always lose part of it. To avoid that, you need to fit the whole photo inside a square, filling in the extra space.
What size is a WhatsApp profile picture?
WhatsApp stores the profile picture as a 640×640 pixel square and displays it cropped to a circle. Uploading an image of exactly that size keeps it from losing sharpness when it gets compressed.
How do I use a landscape or portrait photo as my WhatsApp profile picture?
A landscape or portrait photo doesn't fit WhatsApp's square, so bars have to be added above and below or on the sides until it becomes square. With this tool those bars are generated automatically in black and the photo stays centered without losing anything.
How do I remove the zoom on my WhatsApp profile picture?
The zoom happens because WhatsApp enlarges the photo to fill the square. To avoid it, upload an image that is already square and contains the whole photo, with some margin around it. That way WhatsApp has nothing to enlarge.
How do I add a black border or black background to my WhatsApp profile picture?
Upload the photo to this tool: the black background and border are added automatically, and you can set the border thickness with a slider, from 0 to 60 pixels. Then download the JPG and upload it to WhatsApp.
Why is my WhatsApp profile picture blurry or pixelated?
There are usually two reasons: the original image is smaller than 640×640 and WhatsApp enlarges it, or it is very large and WhatsApp's compression degrades it. The ideal is to upload exactly 640×640 pixels as a good-quality JPG, which is what this tool produces.
Does it work the same on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The tool runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, and the downloaded file is uploaded the same way from WhatsApp on iPhone or Android: Settings, your name, profile picture, Choose photo.
Is my photo uploaded to any server?
No. All processing happens in the user's browser. The image never leaves your phone or computer, and the page works even offline once it has loaded.
Does it work for Instagram, Telegram, TikTok or Facebook?
Yes. They all use square profile pictures displayed cropped in a circle, so a 640×640 image with the full photo and a black border works the same in those apps.
