    I’m having trouble with my profile picture.

    My logo is a wide logo, not a perfect square. No matter how I re size it in Google’s magic “creative kit” I can’t seem to get my whole logo to fit the crop square for the profile picture. Help!

    @ptwylie Thanks for the correction. I am building a business page. The logo I am working with is at least twice as wide as it is tall. The tool you provided doesn’t allow me to center the logo in the crop box even when it’s small enough.

    @lauraringer hmm. then you’ll need to use photoshop or some other image editor to get the image the proper size.  The maximum profile image resolution in Google+ is 202px by 192px.

    @juleswebb Once again, it re sized, but Google+ still blows it up and wants to crop it down to a perfect square that contains only a portion of the logo.

    Can you link to your image so I can take a look at what you’re working with? 
    Or accept my friendship and I’l pm you my email address so you can email it to me.

    If you’re using a gif or png that has transparency Google may be finding the edges of your image not the dimensions of your canvas. That’s just a guess, hard to say with out more info, but I’ve experienced this with other software.
