What size should a profile picture be?
Most platforms use square (1:1) profile photos. Instagram shows 320×320, Facebook 170×170, Twitter 400×400, and LinkedIn 400×400. Upload at least 400×400 for clarity on all platforms.
Should I crop my profile picture to a circle?
Most platforms automatically display profile photos as circles. Upload a square image and center your face — the platform will handle the circular mask.
How do I make my profile picture look professional?
Use good lighting, center your face in the frame, use a clean background, and crop tightly around head and shoulders. Leave some space above your head.
