Do I need to create an account to use the square image tool?

No account required! Our free online tool works without any registration or sign-up. Simply visit our website, upload your image, make it square, and download the result immediately.

Can I make multiple images square at once?

What happens if my image is already square?

If your uploaded image is already square, our tool will still process it to ensure perfect proportions and optimal quality. You can also use this opportunity to adjust the background or apply other enhancements.
