What this tool does
Instagram profile photos are viewed tiny. This tool optimizes for “small-circle readability”: face clarity, crop, contrast, and an aesthetic that matches your feed.
Face is readable at small size (eyes visible, no heavy shadow).
Crop is tight enough to recognize you, not too wide.
Contrast is high enough to pop on white/black UI.
Background is simple and not the same tone as your face.
Color grading matches your content style (warm, cool, muted, etc.).
No distracting text or busy patterns.
Expression is iconic (consistent vibe).
Image remains sharp after circular crop.
How to use (get better results)
Follow these steps to increase feedback accuracy.
Upload your current IG avatar image (or candidate photo).
Test the circular crop: ensure eyes are visible.
Try one tighter crop and one cleaner background version.
Boost contrast slightly (but keep skin natural).
Avoid busy backgrounds; blur if needed.
Check visibility at 40–60px (preview on phone).
Lock a consistent style and keep it for a month to measure.
