Hello friends!
Everyone wants a stylish, perfect DP (display picture) on WhatsApp. But there is a common problem: if you want to use a full photo (head to toe), WhatsApp’s crop tool cuts it. As a result, either your face gets cut off or your feet do not show at all

👉 Don’t worry, because today I will show you 3 easy ways to set a full DP on WhatsApp without cropping your photo.
In this article we will see, step by step:
- How to set a full DP on WhatsApp with an app
- How to set a full DP with a website
- How to extend the image with Pixelcut.ai to a 1:1 ratio and set a full DP
So let’s start 👇
Why do you need a full DP on WhatsApp?
When you try to set any vertical photo (portrait mode) from your gallery as your DP, WhatsApp automatically crops it to a square (1:1 ratio). This means:
- Your full-body photo gets cut.
- Only part of a group photo is visible.
- The background of travel pictures (like the Taj Mahal or Burj Khalifa) gets cut off.
So WhatsApp’s default crop limits you. But there are simple solutions.
Method 1: Set a full DP on WhatsApp with an app
For this method you need to install a special app on your phone. The Play Store and App Store have many such apps, often called No Crop DP Maker or Square Pic Editor.
Step by Step Process:
- First tap the Download button below and install the app.
- Open the app after installing it.
- You will see 3 options. Tap the Single option.
- Your phone gallery opens.
- Select the photo you want as your WhatsApp DP.
- You don’t need to do much here. Just tap the Save button at the top.
- The photo is saved to your gallery in 1:1 ratio (square format).

Method 2: Set a full DP with a website
If you don’t want to install an app, you can also use an online website to set a full DP on WhatsApp.
Step by Step Process:
- Click the website link (red button) below.
- On the website you will see a Choose File option.
