The short answer
Why use Square Image?
A generator is useful when exact dimensions matter more than a stock template. The result can be rebuilt with new values instead of stretched after the fact.
Square Image focuses on creating a square image graphic at exact pixel dimensions. Selected images are arranged on a browser canvas and exported as a new flattened graphic.
The selected file stays in this browser tab and is released when you leave the page. PNG keeps lines and labels sharp at the chosen pixel dimensions. Check long text for wrapping before saving.
What Square Image does

Draw from your values
Square Image is for creating a square image graphic at exact pixel dimensions. The preview is the place to decide if the setting went too far. The original file is not overwritten.
Useful controls
