How to Make a LINE Profile Icon That Isn't Cropped

Your LINE profile icon shows up constantly — in chats, your timeline, and the friends list. LINE lets you reposition and resize the image inside its own editing screen after you select it.

This guide explains how LINE's circular cropping works, and how to prepare a well-composed image ahead of time.

LINE's personal-account Help Center doesn't have a page that clearly states a recommended upload pixel size for profile icons (LINE Official Account, the business product, has separate guidance in its admin panel). Since LINE crops to a circular frame inside the app after upload, a high-resolution square image matters more than hitting an exact pixel count — IconFit AI's 1024×1024px output is more than sufficient.

When LINE icons get cropped

LINE lets you move a circular frame over your photo inside the app, but some photos are still hard to work with.

The subject sits in a corner, making it hard to frame well inside the circle
In a group photo, fitting everyone into the circle shrinks each person too much
A busy background that swallows the subject once shown small

Adjusting with IconFit AI

Composing the shot with IconFit AI ahead of time means there's barely any cropping left to do inside the LINE app.

Upload the image you want to use for your LINE icon into IconFit AI
Review the AI-suggested composition and check the "LINE" row of the social media preview
Set the background to "Blur" or a color you like, for a natural look even with some margin
Download as PNG or JPEG and upload it from LINE's profile edit screen

Finishing touches

LINE icons appear as small circles in chat lists, so strong contrast with the background helps yours stand out among your friends' icons. For pets or products, "Fill" mode — showing the subject large — improves legibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the exact pixel size for a LINE icon?

We couldn't find an exact pixel size published on LINE's personal-account Help Center. Since square images upload fine at large resolutions, we recommend just using IconFit AI's default 1024×1024px output.

Can I still adjust the position inside the LINE app?

Yes, LINE's image settings let you move and zoom the displayed area. LINE itself doesn't detect your subject automatically, though, so composing a good shot with IconFit AI first makes the process smoother.
