When to use a square image
A square crop can be useful for product images, profile-style graphics, catalog thumbnails, avatar-like visuals and balanced grid layouts. You can reposition or resize the crop area before processing.
Square crop vs square resize
Cropping preserves proportions by removing parts of the image, so it does not deform a non-square source. Resizing can force the whole image into a 1:1 shape and may stretch it. Use the resize preset when exact 1080 × 1080 dimensions matter after the composition is ready. Resize to 1080 × 1080 when you need exact square output dimensions.
