## Frequently asked questions

### What aspect ratio should I use for a profile picture?

Square (1:1) is the standard for nearly every social network and email client. Pick the 1:1 option in the crop tool and drag the crop to where you want your face centred.

### What output size works for LinkedIn or Gmail?

A square JPG at 800 to 1080 pixels per side covers every platform. Most networks downscale automatically, so going bigger than 1080 just wastes file size.

### Can I zoom in on my face?

Yes. Drag and pinch (on touchscreens) or use the zoom slider to frame the photo exactly the way you want before cropping.

### Will the photo lose quality?

Cropping itself is lossless. The output JPG uses high quality (90 by default) so it stays sharp. You can dial quality up or down on the Output tab if needed.
