Square Image for Shopify Product Photos

No. Your original image is centered on a square canvas and padding is added around it — nothing is cropped or stretched, so the full image is always preserved.

Transparent, white, black, or a custom hex color of your choice. Transparent padding only works if you export as PNG or WebP, since JPEG has no alpha channel.

By default, the output square matches the longer edge of your source image. If you need a specific size (for example, for a platform with fixed image dimensions), turn on "Force a fixed output size" and set the exact pixel value.

Many marketplace and social grids (like product listing pages and feed thumbnails) crop or letterbox non-square images inconsistently. Padding to a square ahead of time gives you control over how your image is framed, instead of leaving the cropping to the platform.

No. The original pixels are copied as-is onto the new canvas — only the added padding is new content, so your source image is not recompressed or resampled.

Yes. The padding happens entirely in your browser — your images are never uploaded to a server, so unreleased product shots stay on your device.
