What size should a LinkedIn profile photo be?

LinkedIn accepts a wide range but renders small, so 400×400 is a sensible minimum and what the preset uses. X displays at a similar size, Discord at 1024, Slack at 512.

Why does my photo get cropped off-centre?

It shouldn't. This tool locates the person in the frame and centres the crop on them, which is exactly what a plain square crop fails to do when you're standing off to one side.

Can I keep a transparent background?

Yes — choose transparent and download a PNG. Note that most platforms composite it onto their own background colour, which may not be what you expect.

Why can't I save a circle as JPG?

JPEG has no transparency, so a circle would be flattened onto black corners. The tool refuses rather than handing you something visibly broken — use PNG for any shape other than square.

About Profile Picture Maker

A plain centre crop cuts you in half if you weren't standing in the middle of the photo. This finds the person in the frame first and crops around them, then puts them on a clean background in whatever shape the platform displays — a circle for X and Discord, a square for Slack and GitHub. Sizes come from each platform's own guidance.
