Questions users ask about this tool
How do I create a GitHub avatar from a photo or logo?
This tool prepares a platform-ready image with the correct crop and practical file size while keeping the processing on your device.
Can I create it without uploading my image?
Use the largest clear original available, keep the important subject centered and check the receiving platform’s current requirements before upload.
What size should a GitHub profile picture be?
A square 500×500 avatar gives GitHub a clean, sharp source. Keep important details in the center because GitHub may display the avatar at different sizes.
