Your profile photo appears next to every post, comment, and message. Use a 170×170 working canvas so Facebook's own compression has nothing to soften. Wrong size means pixelation everywhere you show up.
Facebook profile photo size: 170×170 px working canvas, 1:1 aspect ratio.
Facebook's own current guidance is to upload at least 320×320 px (minimum 180×180 px); it displays the result at 176×176 px on desktop and 196×196 px on mobile, cropped to a circle. This tool's canvas is 170×170 px, so starting from a source larger than that gives the crop more detail to work with — Facebook still scales the final image to fit its own display sizes above.

Facebook stores your profile photo as a square and displays it at 176×176 px on desktop and 196×196 px on mobile, cropped to a circle. At these dimensions, your image stays sharp across desktop and mobile. Smaller uploads get upscaled and look fuzzy.

People scroll fast and recognize faces before reading names. A clear, sharp profile photo builds familiarity. A blurry image makes you look like a spam account.
