How it works
01

Cut out in about twenty seconds.
03
Composite over a solid colour
WhatsApp renders square thumbnails. Keep the face centred.
Things that help
—Solid colours read better than gradients at thumbnail size.
—Avoid light colours that blend with the WhatsApp interface.
—Consistent profile photos across platforms make you recognisable.
Common questions
Does WhatsApp accept transparent PNGs?
No. Composite over a solid colour first.
Can I do this on my phone?
Yes. The tool works in mobile browsers.
What size?
Square. 500 by 500 pixels is enough.
