Frequently asked questions

How do I make a profile picture for Instagram?
Upload a photo of yourself. The tool finds your head, frames a 320 x 320 pixel square around it, and replaces the background with a gradient.
Can I change the background colors?
Yes. Pick the gradient's center and edge colors to match your style.
What size is an Instagram profile picture?
Instagram stores profile pictures at 320 x 320 pixels and shows them as a circle, so this tool exports at that size.
What does the head size slider do?
It sets how much of the frame your head fills. Lower values show more of your shoulders, higher values zoom in on your face.
What file formats can I export?
You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes — completely free, no account needed. Your images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Downloads have no watermarks.
