150 x 150 pixels: uses, aspect ratio and how to resize
150×150 pixels is the default Thumbnail size in WordPress: unless a site changes it under Settings › Media, every uploaded image gets a hard-cropped 150 × 150 copy that themes use for galleries, related-post widgets and admin lists. The same square appears across the web in author bio boxes, testimonial sliders, team pages and comment avatars. Resizing to exactly 150 × 150 yourself lets you decide what stays in the frame instead of relying on an automatic centre crop that may cut off a forehead or a product.
A 150 × 150 image holds 22,500 pixels (0.02 MP). Saved as a JPG at the default 90% quality, a typical photo at this size weighs roughly 5 to 9 KB; logos and flat graphics are usually lighter. In print, 150 pixels span 0.5 in (1.3 cm) at 300 DPI, or 1 in (2.5 cm) at 150 DPI.
What 150 × 150 pixels is used for
- WordPress thumbnails: matches the default hard-cropped thumbnail used by many themes, galleries and widgets.
- Author and team photos: bio boxes, 'about us' grids and speaker lists.
- Testimonials: round or square customer photos next to quotes and reviews.
- Small product and category tiles: mini-carts, related items and category menus.
How to resize an image to 150 × 150 pixels
- Drop your images on the box, click to choose them, or paste one with Ctrl+V (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, BMP, TIFF, SVG; up to 80 MB each).
- The size is preset to 150 × 150 px with Crop to fill; choose which part to keep (center, top, bottom, left or right) or switch to Fit with background or Stretch.
- Pick the format: Original, JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF (in browsers that can encode it), and set the quality, or switch to Target size and enter a limit in KB.
- Drag the before/after slider on the preview; every change is re-rendered live.
- Click Download, or Download all (ZIP) for several files, named like photo-150x150.jpg.
Turning a non-square photo into 150 × 150
Phone and camera photos are usually 4:3 or 3:2, so a square needs a decision. Take a 4000 × 3000 shot: Crop to fill scales it to 200 × 150 and trims about 25 px from the left and right edges. Fit with background keeps the whole picture at 150 × 113 and fills 19 px above and below with white, black, grey, any colour or transparency (PNG, WebP, AVIF). Stretch squeezes it to 150 × 150, which distorts faces, so keep it for images that are almost square already. With Fit, the Don't enlarge smaller images option centres a small source at its own size instead of blowing it up.
Tips for 150 × 150 images
- WordPress crops thumbnails from the centre. If a face sits high in the photo, crop it yourself here with the Top position and upload the finished square.
- Many themes show these thumbnails at 150 CSS px, which looks soft on retina screens; where the theme allows it, a 300×300 image stays sharp in the same spot.
- Most templates turn these photos into circles, so keep the subject in the middle and leave space around the head: the corners will be hidden.
Everything runs in your browser: images are never uploaded, and there is no account, no watermark and no limit on the number of files. Under More options you can write a DPI value into JPG and PNG files or change the file-name pattern, and location and camera data (EXIF) are always removed.

Frequently asked questions
What is the WordPress thumbnail size?
By default WordPress creates a 150×150 thumbnail, cropped to an exact square. You can change it under Settings › Media; images uploaded earlier keep their old thumbnails until they are regenerated.
Why does my 150x150 thumbnail look blurry?
Usually because it is displayed larger than 150 px or on a high-density screen. Use a 300×300 image where the layout allows, and always start from the original photo rather than an already small copy.
How do I make a round 150x150 profile photo?
Resize to 150×150 here with the face centred and let the website's CSS round it, which is how most themes do it. This tool outputs square images; it does not cut circles into the file.
How do I resize a photo to 150x150 without cropping it?
Choose Fit with background. The whole photo is scaled to fit inside 150 × 150 px and the empty space is filled with a colour you choose, or left transparent when you save as PNG, WebP or AVIF.
What size is 150x150 pixels in inches or cm?
At 300 DPI it prints at 0.5 × 0.5 in (1.3 × 1.3 cm); at 150 DPI at 1 × 1 in (2.5 cm). On screen only pixels count; DPI matters for printing and can be set under More options.
Can I resize multiple images to 150x150 at once?
Yes. Add as many images as you like (they all get the same settings) then download them one by one or together as a ZIP file.
What aspect ratio is 150 x 150?
150 x 150 is a square, so its aspect ratio is 1:1: the width and the height are the same.
