Why 640×640 Pixels?
Threads displays profile photos at various sizes across the app. 640×640 pixels ensures sharp display on high-density phone screens. Since Threads syncs with Instagram, this size works perfectly for both platforms.
Design for the Circle
Like Instagram, Threads crops profile photos to circles. Keep important content centered and away from corners. Your profile photo is your identity in every thread—make sure it's recognizable at small sizes.

Upload your photo and resize it to 640×640 pixels. Check the circular crop preview. Download and upload to Threads or update via your connected Instagram account.
