Take it step by step
- Start from a well-lit photo with enough resolution.
- Read the required dimensions and background rules.
- Crop with the head positioned appropriately, then resize.
- Inspect the preview and downloaded file at the intended display size.
A situation to try.
Square and portrait requirements need different crops. Changing width and height independently can distort the face; preserve proportions and crop instead.
Use the tool’s synthetic example first where available. The example here explains a decision; it is not a reported benchmark result.
Before you call it done.
- Check pixel dimensions and face framing.
- Look for artificial edge artifacts.
- Review the portal’s current rules.
Know the limits.
Automatic portrait cutouts can miss hair and accessories. Review the mask before relying on it.
This tool’s current boundary: Review the output before using it. Your input remains on this device.
Evidence and scope
Technical source guidance and task-specific output checks. These do not establish that every file, browser or device passes.
Use the checks above on your own exported result. A source explains the format or mechanism; it is not proof that this export preserved every feature.
