Where Your WhatsApp Profile Picture Appears
WhatsApp profile pictures are seen by contacts in chats, contact lists, groups, and profile views. If your privacy settings allow, anyone with your phone number can see your profile picture.
Since many users set personal photos as their WhatsApp profile picture, privacy matters. SquarePFP helps you crop and preview the image locally in your browser before uploading it to WhatsApp, so you can make sure your face is centered and the circular crop looks natural — without sending your photo to any server.
