Smart crop an image around a face or subject online

Use this page when you need a square profile picture, a portrait social crop or a more focused frame that keeps a detected face in view.

Smart crop for square profile pictures and social posts

Smart crop is useful when the subject should stay visible while an image changes to a square, portrait or social-media ratio. It can prioritize a person face or a cartoon face and use a fallback crop when no face is detected.

How to crop a photo around a face online

  1. Upload the original or a working copy.
  2. Enter the target width and height.
  3. Choose person face or cartoon face.
  4. Review the framing and download the crop for the destination.

Smart image crop for profile, product and social dimensions

Set the dimensions your next destination actually needs. A square crop works for many avatars, while a wider or taller frame can preserve more context for a social post or product card.

What smart crop does not replace

Smart crop prepares a frame; it does not guarantee that every platform’s profile, listing or ad specification is satisfied. Check the destination after export.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about formats, privacy, output and edge quality.

Can smart crop make a square profile picture?

Yes. Set equal target width and height and use the person face scene for a portrait-oriented source.

What happens if no face is detected?

The API can use a fallback strategy such as center crop. Review the output before using it.

Can I crop around a product?

This page focuses on face-aware cropping. For product framing, remove the background first and review the destination crop separately.

Can I choose the exact crop size?

Yes. Enter the target width and height within the limits shown in the tool, then review the framing at the exported dimensions.

Does smart crop change the original image?

No. Upload a copy and download a separate crop so the original remains available for other sizes or edits.
