Crop Image to Square (1:1) Online for Free
Square (1:1) is the expected shape for a huge range of uses — social media profile pictures, product thumbnails, app icons, and grid-based photo layouts — but most camera photos come out rectangular, not square. This tool crops any image down to a perfect square automatically, trimming the longer dimension evenly from both sides so the result is centered on your original photo.

Square (1:1) is the expected shape for a huge range of uses — social media profile pictures, product thumbnails, app icons, and grid-based photo layouts — but most camera photos come out rectangular, not square. This tool crops any image down to a perfect square automatically, trimming the longer dimension evenly from both sides so the result is centered on your original photo.
Drop in a rectangular photo and the tool measures its shorter side, then crops a square of that size out of the center — a landscape photo loses some width from the left and right edges, while a portrait photo loses some height from the top and bottom. Unlike our passport-photo and social-media preset tools, this crop isn't resized to any fixed pixel dimensions afterward: you get the largest possible square at your original photo's full resolution, so there's no unnecessary downscaling.
Because the crop is always centered, this tool works best when your main subject is already reasonably centered in the frame — an off-center subject in a very wide or very tall photo may end up partly or fully outside the cropped square. If that's the case, consider cropping closer to your subject in a general photo editor first, then squaring the result here.
Everything runs locally in your browser via the Canvas API — no upload, no account, no watermark. Drop in one photo or a whole batch; each is cropped to a centered square independently, and multiple files are bundled into a single zip for download.
Common questions
It measures your image's shorter side, then crops a square of that size from the exact center — trimming evenly from the left and right edges of a landscape photo, or the top and bottom of a portrait photo.
It can, especially in very wide or very tall photos where the crop has to trim a lot from the edges. For off-center subjects, crop closer to them in a general photo editor first, then use this tool to square the result.
No — you get the largest possible square crop at your original photo's full resolution, with no forced resizing. If you also need an exact pixel size, run the square output through our resize tool afterward.
Yes — drop in as many images as you like. Each is cropped to a centered square independently, and when there's more than one, they're bundled into a single zip download.
No — cropping happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, so your image never leaves your device.
