Key Features:

Multiple Square Modes:

Blurred Background: Centers your image and fills the sides with a blurred version. Solid Color Background: Lets you pick a custom color for the background. Stretched: Stretches the image to fit a square. Manual Cropping: Select the crop area yourself. Batch Processing:

Upload and convert multiple images at once. Download all processed images together. Easy to Use:

Drag-and-drop upload. Real-time preview. Simple, intuitive workflow. Technical Highlights:

100% front-end: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript. Fast image processing with Canvas API. Cropping via Croppie.js, blur via StackBlur.js. Responsive for desktop and mobile. No images leave your device. How to Use:

Click "Choose An Image" to upload. Pick a square conversion mode. Adjust blur or color as needed. Preview and download your square image. Supported Formats: JPEG, PNG, and more.

SEO Optimized: Designed for discoverability with keywords like "square image" and "convert image to square."

Future Plans: More formats, new background effects, better mobile support, and image quality options.
