Square editorial portrait resized in Made.

## Describe the portrait, not only the canvas

A useful portrait resize prompt protects the recognizable person, headroom, hands, and body proportions. Exact dimensions alone cannot decide which parts of a wide environmental portrait should remain.

## Treat shape as an output requirement

A circular profile file is not just a square crop. The workflow applies an alpha mask and exports PNG so the area outside the circle remains transparent.

Prompt anatomy

## Give every phrase a job.

**Identity**

Name the person as the focal subject and prohibit distortion.

**Framing**

State which body details must remain readable in each crop.

**Shape**

Request square, vertical, or circular geometry explicitly.

**Transparency**

Use PNG when the circular file needs transparent corners.

## Controlled variations

### Square editorial profile

Crop this studio portrait to a 1080 by 1080 square. Keep the head, upper body, and both hands readable without stretching the person.

### Circular transparent profile

Create an 800 by 800 circular profile PNG from this studio portrait. Center the face and upper body, preserve natural proportions, and keep the outside of the circle transparent.

Tested workflow

## Use the exact starting point.

Prompt

Create three profile deliveries from this studio portrait: a 1080 by 1080 square crop, a 1080 by 1920 Story fitted with #D8D3CA padding, and an 800 by 800 circular PNG. Keep the person recognizable, preserve natural proportions, and inspect the head and hands in every result.

## Run the workflow

1. **Identify protected portrait details**
   Mark the face, upper body, and hands as review points.
2. **Choose geometry and fit**
   Use cover for the square, contain for the Story, and circle for the profile PNG.
3. **Inspect identity and edges**
   Review facial proportions, body crop, padding, mask edge, and alpha corners.

## Why it works

The instruction couples canvas geometry with human review criteria, preventing a dimensionally correct file from becoming an unusable portrait.

### Adjustment tips

- • Keep more environment in the master than the tightest crop needs.
- • Use a transparent PNG rather than a baked background for reusable circular avatars.

### Limitations

- • A wide source may require substantial vertical padding; image expansion is a separate generative operation and should not be implied by resizing.
