One of the worst things we don’t like about WhatsApp is cropping our profile pictures. Not only WhatsApp but Instagram, Facebook and google plus also forces us to crop our profile picture while uploading. One of the best ways to get rid of this problem is by using square pictures (Pictures of the same width and height), but still to get a perfectly square picture we need to crop it or increase its size in Photoshop which usually kills the quality of our image.
But guess what we have a perfect solution which adds some background on the image to make it square. And the best part is you can choose the color of the background, add custom patterns or blur it. All these things can be achieved by an app called NoCrop which is available for android, iOS and Windows devices. So follow the below guide to set your WhatsApp profile picture without cropping.
Note – This method not only works for WhatsApp but you can use it on any social media like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, google plus to avoid cropping of your profile picture.
