Can I Stop Facebook From Cropping My Profile Picture?

Can I Stop Facebook From Cropping My Profile Picture?

Posted on December 3, 2020 by Madalina Dinita Leave a Comment

If you don’t want Facebook to crop your profile picture, make sure it meets the recommended dimensions. The maximum pixel size for PCs is 170 x 170 pixels. On smartphones, the recommended dimensions are 128 x 128 pixels.

If you upload an image that’s bigger than that, Facebook will automatically crop it. Of course, if you upload a logo, letting Facebook crop that picture is not an option.

The best approach is to simply edit the image so that it meets Facebook’s recommended dimensions.

Is There a Way to Prevent Facebook From Cropping My Profile Picture?

The only way to prevent that is to make sure the image meets the recommended dimensions before you upload it.

There is currently no way to prevent Facebook from cropping large profile pictures.

If you google ‘stop facebook from cropping profile picture‘, you may come across different workarounds that will allegedly do the trick. For example, some users suggested that using the mobile URL on a PC somehow bypasses Facebook’s image dimension requirements.

Well, we tested this so-called workaround, and many other solutions suggested by the Facebook community, but none of them actually worked.

All in all, you cannot stop Facebook from cropping your profile picture if you upload an image that’s larger than the recommended pixel size.
