What if my source image is smaller than 1080 pixels on each side?

Enlarging a small image to 1080 × 1080 will make it look soft; it is best to start with a source that is at least 1080 pixels on its shorter side.

Can I keep the entire original image without cropping?

Yes, use the Canvas size option to pad the image to a square instead of cropping, which adds borders while preserving the full original content.

What happens if the exported file is rejected for being too large?

After resizing to 1080 × 1080, you can compress the file afterward if a form rejects it by kilobytes.

Does the tool support animated or HEIC images?

The editor opens still images including HEIC/HEIF and AVIF, but exports only JPEG, PNG, and WebP; animated formats are not supported for export.
