Instagram shows profile pictures as a small circle, stored at 320 × 320 pixels. Upload a square with your face centred so nothing important gets cut off by the circle.
Your photo is cropped from the centre to the exact shape and resized with high-quality resampling — all inside your browser, so it’s never uploaded.
