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, and you decide which part of the photo survives.

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, and you decide which part of the photo survives.
Drop in a rectangular photo and you get a crop box locked to a 1:1 ratio: drag it, resize it, or type exact X/Y/width/height values until it frames what you want. That matters, because squaring up a landscape photo means discarding width from the sides and a portrait photo means losing height — so where the box sits is the whole decision. 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.
Position the box over your subject before cropping — this matters most in very wide or very tall photos, where squaring up discards a lot from the edges and an off-centre subject would be lost if you accepted the default framing. If that's the case, just drag the crop box over to your subject.
Everything runs locally in your browser via the Canvas API — no upload, no account, no watermark. Drop in one photo or a whole batch; the crop box you set is applied to each file, and multiple files are bundled into a single zip for download.
Common questions
You decide. The tool gives you a drag-to-position square crop box locked to a 1:1 ratio — move it and resize it over your photo until it frames what you want, or type exact X/Y/width/height values if you prefer. It starts from a sensible default, but nothing is cropped until you're happy with the box.
Only if you position the crop box that way — you're in control of where it sits. Drag it over your subject before cropping. This matters most on very wide or very tall photos, where squaring up has to discard a lot from the edges and the default position is unlikely to be the right one.
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. The crop box you set is applied to each file, 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.
