Lemon8 avatars are tiny circles—re-crop before you cross-post
Lemon8 profiles, comments, and follows shrink your photo to a small disc. A clear square upload (practical 800×800) with the face or brand mark centered beats a soft corner crop from a group selfie.
Creators often reuse Instagram, TikTok, or Xiaohongshu avatars. Those files can be starting photos, but each app’s mask and chrome differ. Re-crop so eyes sit inside Lemon8’s guide instead of hoping corners survive.
800×800 is a practical clear square for modern phones—not a claimed official mandate. Soft 150×150 screenshots will not sharpen because you renamed them “HD.” Start larger when the photo allows it.
Post covers are a different job at 3:4. Do not stretch a waterfall cover into this square, and do not invent a fake wide banner as a substitute for a recognizable avatar.
Good vs weak crop
Same circle mask—corners disappear; design for the tiny comment-size icon.
Readable tiny circle
- Face fills most of the circle
- True square master
- Clear at comment size
Cropped-off face
- Group selfie with tiny heads
- Logo text cut by the mask
- Soft upscale from a tiny screenshot
Before you upload
Tick these off against your crop preview—nothing is saved.

Design for the circle, not the square corners
Whatever sits in the corners of your square file may disappear under Lemon8’s circular or rounded mask. Keep eyes, logos, and wordmarks inside the guide.
- Fill most of the circle with one face or simple mark.
- Avoid thin rim text that vanishes at list size.
- Prefer a single subject over a collage.
From Instagram, TikTok, or Xiaohongshu
Cross-posting lifestyle brands is common. Reuse the photo when it still looks sharp, then run a dedicated Lemon8 crop. Matching Xiaohongshu’s practical 800×800 habit helps—but always preview Lemon8 live.
- Xiaohongshu profile picture — 800 × 800 practical
- Lemon8 post cover — 1080 × 1440 — different job
