Facebook’s suggested profile-picture size in 2026 is a 320×320-pixel square, uploaded as a JPG or PNG. You can go larger — 720×720 for high-resolution/retina screens, up to a 2048×2048 maximum — but 320×320 is the safe square this preset targets because it already exceeds every place Facebook actually shows the photo: roughly 176×176 pixels beside your name on desktop, 196×196 in the mobile app and 36×36 on feature phones. Facebook always CIRCLE-crops the picture, so keep the face or logo centred. This tool has a one-tap Facebook profile preset that exports at exactly 320×320 with a live circular-mask preview so you can see the crop before you download.

Facebook displays profile pictures inside a circular frame everywhere — on your profile, in the feed, in comments and in Messenger — even though you upload a square image. The circle is inscribed in the square, so the four corners are always cut off and only the central circular area (about the middle 80% of the width) is guaranteed to show. That is why you should never put a face, logo or text near the edges or corners; centre the subject instead. This tool helps by previewing the exact circular mask over your image and giving cover mode a −1..1 crop-position nudge, so you can slide and frame the important part inside the circle before exporting at 320×320.

They are two completely different images. The profile picture is the small square you upload at 320×320 that Facebook circle-crops and shows at about 176×176 on desktop and 196×196 on mobile beside your name. The cover photo is the large landscape banner across the top of your profile or Page, uploaded at 851×315 pixels (a 2.7:1 ratio) and shown as a rectangle, not a circle. Because the shapes and sizes are totally different, you cannot use one file for both. This preset targets only the round profile picture at 320×320; if you need the banner, use the Facebook cover-photo size instead.

Nothing is uploaded. When you choose an image the tool creates a local object URL, decodes it, crops and composites it on an in-page canvas, and downscales it with pica — all on your device. There is no server, API, database or tracking anywhere in the processing path, so your profile photo never leaves the browser. Object URLs are revoked when you reset or replace the image, the tool works offline once cached, and closing the tab discards everything. The only optional network use anywhere on the site is consent-gated advertising, which never sees your image. You then upload the finished 320×320 file to Facebook yourself, so a personal portrait stays private until you choose to set it.
