For this purpose, we are going to use two apps; No Crop for WhatsApp and WhatsCrop to square your picture. Both the apps have almost the same features, but one difference. In No Crop, you will need to save the image and then upload it to WhatsApp, but WhatsCrop will directly upload the image to WhatsApp profile picture as soon as you are finished editing the image.

App 1 – No Crop

1. You can download this app for free from Play Store. Once the download is finished, open the app and tap on Click here to open an image or the folder icon at the bottom of the screen. Then select any photo that you wish to set as your profile picture.
2. As the image opens in the app, you will see the paddings added as per the orientation of the image i.e. landscape or portrait to make them into the square shape.
3. If the image appears in the wrong orientation, then you can use your fingers to rotate them into the correct one. Here you can change the padding using the image icon as shown in the screenshot below. You can add padding to the photo with either blur or normal effect or using any other color you desire. It also allows adding filters, texts and even customizes the color of the image if you wish to from the options given at the bottom of the screen.
4. Now you are ready to save the image, and for that, you can select from two different formats, i.e JPEG or PNG. For that, tap on the three dots at the top right corner, and select Image format option and choose accordingly.
