Getting the best results

Double the display size

If the image appears at 240 pixels in your layout, 480 is exactly the 2× version. That pairing keeps it crisp on phones and retina laptops without any wasted data.

Compress after resizing, not before

Resize to 480 × 480 first, then compress. Compressing a large original and resizing afterwards wastes the compression work and usually looks softer.

What 480×480 is for

480 × 480 is the size where a square image stops being an icon and starts being a picture. It is large enough that a face reads properly and small enough to stay light in an email or a sidebar.

It is also a comfortable retina size for anything displayed at 240 pixels, which covers most profile cards and author bylines.

Where this size is used

Profile photographs on modern platforms, email newsletter imagery, author bylines and team cards, podcast episode art at small sizes, and square product thumbnails.

What to expect

A square crop at just under a quarter of a megapixel. Faces and simple products hold up well; anything with fine text or intricate pattern will start to lose definition.

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about resizing images to 480×480 px.

It is a sensible size for a square image in a newsletter. Most email clients render at around 240 pixels wide, so this covers high-density displays without inflating the message.

Not for directory submission — Apple and Spotify require at least 1400 × 1400 and often 3000 × 3000. Use 480 for in-page display only.

Crop to a square before resizing rather than after. Squashing a rectangle into a square distorts faces noticeably, and an automatic centre crop often clips the subject.

JPEG for photographs, PNG when you need transparency or the image contains text and hard edges. WebP does both well if the destination accepts it.

Your original is untouched — resizing produces a new image. Nothing is uploaded either, since the whole process runs in your browser.

480×480 px is 1:1 square at 0.23 MP, which prints at about 41 × 41 mm at 300 DPI. Anything not already in that ratio needs cropping first, or it will be stretched.

Scaling down uses Lanczos resampling, the highest-quality algorithm available in the browser, so the result usually looks sharper than the original viewed at the same size. Scaling up cannot add detail that was never captured.
