Make an image square without cropping
The square image maker fits the entire source inside a 1:1 canvas. When the original is rectangular, padding fills the unused area so the photo remains fully visible.
Pick the output size after choosing the shape
A square describes the shape, not one fixed pixel size. Enter the size the destination asks for, such as 512 × 512, 600 × 600, or 1080 × 1080. The output stays square while you change the size.
White, black, or transparent padding
Choose white or black for a solid background. Transparent padding is available with PNG and WebP; JPEG cannot store transparency and uses a solid background.
Limitations
- The full source remains visible. When its proportions differ from a square, padding fills the unused canvas area.
- Transparent padding is available only for PNG and WebP output; JPEG uses a solid background.
Questions
How do I make an image square without cropping it?
Choose a square output size and fit the image inside the canvas. The complete source remains visible, with padding filling any unused area.
Is this different from the 1:1 crop tool?
Yes. The square image cropper removes pixels outside its 1:1 frame. This page keeps the entire image and adds padding instead.
Can I make a custom square size?
Yes. Enter one square size within the allowed pixel range, and the tool uses it for both width and height.
Will a square image be stretched?
The square image maker fits the full source inside the canvas and adds padding where needed. It does not crop or stretch the image.
Can I add transparent padding?
Yes. Choose transparent padding with PNG or WebP output. JPEG output uses a solid background.
Is the square image maker processed locally?
Yes. Your image stays in your browser while fitting, sizing, and export are processed.
