Make a transparent profile picture
Create a square portrait cutout with empty pixels around the subject. Keep the transparent version for designs that support it, or add a colour for a flat avatar.

Frame the person inside the square canvas
The editor on this page starts with a 1:1 canvas. Move and scale the person so the face is centred with comfortable margins. Many avatar displays crop a square into a circle, so keep important details away from the corners even though this editor exports a rectangular image.
Choose PNG or WebP for transparency. The site receiving your avatar may flatten alpha or display its own background, so preview the uploaded result there. Use a solid background here when consistent colour matters more than keeping empty pixels.

A few things to know
Does the editor export a circular crop?
It exports a square or rectangular canvas. A destination app may display it in a circle; leave suitable margins and inspect that app’s preview.
