WhatsApp DP Without Crop

WhatsApp profile photos are square and shown as a circle, so a tall or wide photo gets cut off. This page fits your whole photo inside a square, on a blurred copy of itself or a colour, with a margin so it sits inside the circle.

Frequently asked questions

Why does WhatsApp crop my DP?

WhatsApp profile photos are square and displayed as a circle. A photo of another shape has to be cut down to a square first, and the circle then hides the corners.

What size is a WhatsApp DP?

WhatsApp asks for at least 192 × 192 px, in a square. This page makes 1080 × 1080 px, which stays sharp. There's no HD option for profile photos.

Can I use a plain background instead of blur?

Yes. Choose Colour and pick white, black or any colour. Transparent isn't useful here, because WhatsApp fills it in.

Does this work for Instagram too?

Yes. The square image works for any profile photo. For posts, Instagram No Crop fits photos into 3:4, 4:5 or story shapes.

Is my photo uploaded to OptiPress?

No. Everything happens in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
