Instagram crops every profile picture (pfp) to a circle. Upload your photo, drag and zoom to see exactly what will be cut off, add a custom color border ring or arced text if you want one, then download an avatar that is centered correctly before you upload it for real.
Updates the name shown in the profile preview as you type. Letters, numbers, periods, and underscores only, up to 30 characters.
Up to 150 characters, same as Instagram.

A plain circle crop only tells you what gets cut off. This tool also lets you build the finished profile picture in the same place, so you are not guessing how a border or text will look once it is live.
Color border rings
Pick a preset ring (Instagram gradient, sunset, ocean, gold, emerald, chrome) or set your own solid or gradient colors, inset from the photo edge so it never gets clipped by the circle crop.
Arced ring text
Wrap a name, brand, or handle around the photo edge, split into a top and bottom arc so every letter stays upright, for example "GRIDPEEK" curved around your logo.
Combine both, or neither
Use a border ring and ring text together, one on its own, or turn both off for a plain crop. Everything updates live in the preview before you download.
Baked into the export
The border and text are rendered into the downloaded 1024x1024 PNG itself, not added as a separate overlay you have to reapply later.

Instagram never shows your profile picture as a full square. It is cropped to a circle on your profile, in the story ring, in comments, in likes, and in DMs. Most people find this out only after uploading and seeing a face or logo get clipped. This tool shows you the exact circle crop before you commit to it.
See the real crop, not a guess
The circle preview here matches what Instagram actually displays, not an approximation.
Fix it before followers see it
Reposition and zoom until the important part of the photo sits safely inside the circle.
No app, no signup
Everything runs in your browser. Upload, adjust, download.
Works for logos too
Business accounts can check that a logo stays centered and fully visible after the crop.
Instagram stores your profile picture as a square but displays it as a circle everywhere: your profile page, story ring, comments, likes, and DMs. Anything outside the largest circle that fits inside your square gets visually cut off, even though the square file itself is untouched.
The safe zone is the circle inscribed inside your square upload, centered by default. Keep faces, logos, and text within that circle. Corners of a square image are always the first thing to disappear.
Instagram recommends at least 320x320px, and up to 1080x1080px is typical for a crisp result on high-density screens. This tool exports a 1024x1024px PNG regardless of your source size.
No. Everything happens locally in your browser using canvas. Your photo is never sent to a server.
Yes. Drag the photo to reposition it and use the zoom slider to move in closer, so the important part of your photo sits inside the circle before you download.
Yes. Download the PNG and upload it directly as your Instagram profile picture. What you see in the circle preview here is what will show on your profile.
Both. It previews the exact circle crop and lets you drag and zoom to fix it, then exports a ready-to-upload 1024x1024 PNG, so it works as a full pfp cropper, not just a checker.
Yes. Pick a preset color ring (Instagram gradient, sunset, ocean, gold, emerald, chrome) or set custom colors, and optionally add arced text around the edge. Both are baked into the downloaded PNG.
