WhatsApp shows your profile picture as a circle and crops anything that isn’t square. A 500 × 500 square with your face centred looks sharp everywhere.
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.
