Your best bet is to download the photograph and crop it in Microsoft paint (or any other editor) then re-upload to Facebook.
Unless you wish to use the picture as your profile picture, in which case just click "use as profile picture" and crop.
Login to your account. Go to your profile page (link on the top right). Then click on the Photos tab. Click on whichever album where the photo you'd like to be your profile photo is. Select the photo. When on the photo page, look below the photo on the right side. There are a set of links/actions you can chose from. Click on: Make Profile Picture. Crop the photo to the size you'd like it to be on your profile by dragging the corners of the square, then click on the top button: Done cropping.
This will automatically create your profile picture and put the photo in the Profile folder.
Here is an easy way how to do it.
• log in to your facebook account
• go to your Profile
• click on the photos tab
• select the photo you want to set as your profile picture
• click "Make Profile Picture" on the options located on the lower right side of your picture
Step 1
Locate a picture that you want to be your profile picture.
Step 2
If the picture is already on Facebook, click on the picture. In the lower righthand corner, you will see a list of possible actions. Click on "Make Profile Picture". The website will prompt you to crop the portion of the picture that you want to be your profile. You can either: 1. Drag a corner of the small cropping box to make it bigger or larger to include a section of the picture OR 2. Drag all corners of the small box to all edges of the picture. Option 2 will select the entire picture. Option 1 is useful if, for example, the picture includes you and two friends. You can just crop the part of the picture that includes yourself and make that your profile picture. Both of the options will resave the cropped images in your "Profile Pictures" folder.
Step 3
If the picture is on a website, save it to your computer in a folder/ file location that you will be able to easily locate. Once the picture is saved onto your computer, login and go to your Facebook profile. Click on your profile (default) picture. On the page that comes up, above all of the thumbnails, you will see "Edit Photos" / "Change Profile Picture". Click on "Change Profile Picture". On the next page, click "Browse". Find your picture and click on it. Check the box that says you have the rights to the picture, and click on "Upload Picture".
Step 4
You can also select a portion of your profile picture to be your thumbnail picture. This is the picture that comes up next to your name on chats, mini feeds, and applications on Facebook (such as "Lil Green Patch"). Generally, it is the middle of your profile picture, but you can adjust it as needed.
