Frequently asked questions

What is a profile picture maker?

It prepares a photo or initials design for use as a social media avatar. SocQ provides a round crop, optional colored border and a 1080 × 1080 PNG download.

How do I center my face?

Upload your photo and drag it in the preview. Open Adjust crop for precise horizontal, vertical and zoom controls.

Can I make a text avatar?

Yes. Enter up to three initials, choose a background and text color, and download the avatar with your selected border.

Does the download have transparent corners?

Yes. The PNG keeps the area outside the round avatar transparent, making it easy to place on different backgrounds.

Can I change the border thickness?

Use the Border width slider to choose a width from 0 to 80 pixels. A value of zero gives you a plain round crop.

How large is the exported image?

The avatar is 1080 × 1080 pixels. Upload it to your social profile and review the platform’s final crop before saving.
