Resize Image to 840×840
840×840 is a square you meet on portfolio sites, creative marketplaces and template shops, where the grid was designed around a 1680-pixel container split into two columns. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.

Why choose 840×840?
840×840 is a square image of 705,600 pixels (0.71 megapixels) in a square (1:1), mostly used for social posts and product photos.
1:1 square shape
Every 840×840 image has a square (1:1) ratio, so anything you design for it keeps the same proportions on every screen.
Where it is used
840×840 suits social posts and product photos. Using the exact size avoids a website scaling or cropping your image on its own.
Prints 2.8×2.8 in at 300 DPI
That is 7.1×7.1 cm at photo quality, or 5.6×5.6 in at 150 DPI for posters viewed from a distance.
About 110 KB–220 KB as JPG
A typical photo at 840×840 saves to roughly 110 KB–220 KB at good JPG quality; WebP is usually 25–35% smaller.
Sharp results
A 12 MP phone photo has 17× more pixels than 840×840, so resizing down keeps it sharp.
Framing control
Filling 840×840 from a 4:3 phone photo trims about 25% of it. Drag the preview to choose what stays, or tick “Keep aspect ratio” to keep it all.

Where an 840-pixel square comes from
Like most non-round layout numbers, 840 comes from arithmetic rather than taste. It is half of 1680 and a third of 2520, both common container widths, so an 840-pixel square tiles cleanly into two- and three-column grids at desktop width. Portfolio platforms and theme marketplaces converged on it for that reason.
840 is also unusually divisible — by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15 and more. That makes it easy to derive thumbnail variants from the same master without fractional pixels, which is why some asset pipelines use it as a source size.
In practice, treat it like any mid-size square. Roughly 0.7 megapixels, a JPG typically between 120KB and 300KB, sharp on a phone at full width and on a laptop in a two-column grid. Choose PNG instead if the image is a mockup, a UI screenshot or anything with lettering — JPG artefacts around text are obvious at this scale.
A non-square source loses its long edge; crop deliberately with the cropper first. For the nearest common alternatives, see 800×800 and 1024×1024.
Frequently asked questions
Is 840×840 different from 800×800 in any meaningful way?
Only in how it fits a grid. The extra 40 pixels make no visible quality difference, but 840 divides evenly into common container widths like 1680 and 2520, so layouts built on those numbers ask for it specifically. Use whichever the platform names.
What aspect ratio is 840×840?
840×840 has a square (1:1) aspect ratio. Any size with the same ratio — for example 800×800, 900×900 — can be scaled to it without cropping.
How big will a 840×840 image print?
At 300 DPI (photo quality) 840×840 prints at 2.8×2.8 inches (7.1×7.1 cm). At 150 DPI it covers 5.6×5.6 inches, fine for posters seen from further away.
How large is a 840×840 file?
A photo at 840×840 is usually 110 KB–220 KB as a JPG, and about 77 KB–150 KB as WebP. If you need it smaller, run it through the compressor afterwards.
Will my photo lose quality at 840×840?
No — a normal phone photo is much larger, so it is scaled down and stays sharp.
Can I resize to 840×840 without cropping?
Yes. Tick “Keep aspect ratio”: the whole picture is kept, but one side may come out shorter than 840×840. Without it, the image fills 840×840 exactly and the edges that do not fit the 1:1 shape are trimmed.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
