Hey there, hero!

Ever been asked to upload a perfectly square image as your profile pic?

Sure you have, if you’ve created your profile on, say, ACX.com.

The problem is that you’re usually working from a portrait-shaped headshot, that is usually taller than it is wide…definitely NOT square. So, you have to crop a section of just your face.

And if you don’t get it just right, ACX will force the image to be square, and your face will get squished.

No one wants a squished face.

Here’s how to crop a perfectly square piece of your portrait-sized headshots: use the SHIFT key while making your selection, and your selected area will be constrained to be square. Then, save the cropped section as your square profile pic.

I demo it in this episode (watch the video version on VOHeroes to see it).

And it works for any app or website where you’re working with images: Photoshop, Canva, Preview…whatever.

Questions? Let me know in the comments below.
