How do I make my profile picture round?

Upload your photo and you will automatically be redirected into the editor view of Photoroom. During this process, the background of your photo is being removed, so you can be as flexible as possible with the cropped out image. In the webapp editor, you can choose between different round profile picture styles and you also have the possibility to adjust the colors and size.

What size is a round profile picture?

The size of a round profile picture can differ depending on the platform where it is used. A common size for a round profile picture is usually a square image with equal width and height dimensions (1:1). For example, it could be 200 pixels by 200 pixels or 400 pixels by 400 pixels.

Why are there so many round profile images now?

If you have the feeling that the use of round profile pictures have taken over since a few years, you are not alone! It is a trend driven by both aesthetic considerations and the need for visual consistency across platforms, catering to the preferences and habits of modern users. So it is indeed no coincidence that round profile pictures are everywhere.

Why are round profile images so popular?

Aesthetics

Round profile pictures are often considered visually pleasing and provide a clean and modern look. The smooth and symmetrical shape of a circle can create a more balanced and harmonious appearance compared to square or rectangular images.

Mobile Optimization

With the growing dominance of mobile devices, round profile pictures are more compatible with the small screens of smartphones.

The circular shape occupies less space and ensures that the profile pictures don't get cropped or distorted on mobile displays.

Social Network Influence

The adoption of round profile pictures by popular social networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn has influenced other platforms and applications to follow suit.

Why not try a colorful circle-cropped image?

Round profile pictures continue to be seen as modern and up-to-date, reflecting the current design trends and user preferences in digital interfaces. Create a modern, but still unique profile picture with the creative templates of Photoroom.

People love Photoroom

Affordable and efficient
Photoroom has turned my one-bedroom apartment into a professional photo studio. Rather than spending hours or thousands of dollars editing photos, Photoroom allows me to create pro photos in seconds, so not only does it make my photos look great, but it’s affordable & efficient.

Suitable photos for my website
I love being able to remove backgrounds from my pictures. I sell online, and when I take pictures, it's not always in a clean, uncluttered environment. I like how Photoroom gets rid of all of that and allows me to change the background to something more pleasing to the eye and suitable to place on my website.

A total game changer!
I have been using Photoroom for almost 2 years now, mainly for Instagram. Photoroom is so user-friendly and makes my work complete. The Photoroom group on Facebook is super, with lots of tips and tricks and good communication with Photoroom if there is a problem.
