Facebook Profile Photo Resizer

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

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.

Why a Square Crop?

Why a Square Crop?

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.

Recognition Builds Trust

Recognition Builds Trust

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.
