This repository provides a practical reference for converting images into square avatars and icons without breaking the main subject.
It focuses on real-world use cases such as social media profiles, app icons, and square thumbnails.
A square avatar is a 1:1 image format commonly required by platforms like Discord, GitHub, Twitter (X), and mobile applications.
When converting non-square images, the goal is usually to:
- Preserve the main subject
- Avoid aggressive cropping
- Maintain visual balance
- Center cropping (may lose important content)
- Smart padding (recommended)
- Background expansion
