Your Facebook photos lend personalization to your profile, and Facebook's users each create an average of 90 pieces of content, such as photos, every month. When you upload a new photo to Facebook, you may want to crop the photo to improve its appearance. Although this is a simple process, photo cropping can be done only in limited circumstances. All photos that you wish to crop must be first uploaded as a profile photo, and you may crop only newly uploaded profile photos. To crop a profile photo when you upload it to Facebook, follow a few simple steps.

1. Log in to Facebook with your email address and personal password.
2. Select "Edit Profile" in the top-center of the screen.
3. Select "Profile Picture" from the menu options at left.
4. Select the "Browse" button. This will allow you to browse pictures on your computer to select one for the profile photo.
5. Double click on the picture to be used as the profile photo. Click "Open." The photo will now upload to your Facebook profile, which may take a few moments. The photo will then appear in the middle of the screen.
