What this tool does
Auto-crop profile photo
Find the main face or person and create a square 1080 × 1080 profile crop locally.
The tool is designed to get that one job done without making you learn a full piece of software first.
Free · No sign-up · PrivateSmart / Local Tools
Auto-crop a profile photo around the face.
Find the main face or person locally, adjust the framing, then make a clean square crop for profile pictures, avatars and social accounts.
Tip: LinkedIn and many social apps display profile photos in a circle. Leave a little extra space around the face so hair and shoulders are not clipped by the circular mask.
Private by design: face/person detection and cropping happen locally in this browser.
Good for
LinkedIn, CV profile photos, social avatars, team pages and account pictures.
Framing tips
Use the space control for a tighter headshot or a looser crop with shoulders. Nudge the face position if you want more headroom, and remember that many apps display square uploads inside a circle.
Which size?
1080 × 1080 is a good default. Use 512 × 512 for a lightweight avatar or 2048 × 2048 when you want a larger master file.
Best results
Use a photo where the main subject is clearly visible and larger than other people in the frame.
Useful to know
Do the job. Know what to check.
Short, practical guidance for this specific kind of task, without turning a tiny job into a tutorial marathon.
Best results
Leave room for circular profile crops.
Check that the face is centred comfortably and hair or shoulders are not cut too tightly.
If it feels tight, increase the space around the face rather than lowering output quality.
In plain English
What matters most.
A good profile crop keeps the face prominent without feeling cramped and still works when displayed very small.
AI tools download their model on first use and local-processing tools work directly in your browser. Choose the specialist tool that best matches your subject for cleaner results.
File size & formats
Big images use more memory than their file size suggests.
What can I use?
JPG, PNG and WebP are the safest choices. Other image formats work when your browser can decode them.
Is there a size limit?
There is no extra OutMonkey upload-size cap in the browser interface. Very high-resolution images can still hit your browser or device memory limit, especially when enlarging them or running local models.
If the file is huge
If an enormous image will not process, use a smaller copy or reduce its pixel dimensions first. Keep the original untouched.
