make_image_square #

Tiny helper that turns any image size into a 1:1 layout plan: square canvas size plus left/right/top/bottom padding so you can fit without cropping.

Useful when you need the math for letterboxing / pillarboxing before you draw to a canvas, generate CSS object-fit-style boxes, or prep assets for Instagram and profile photos.

Install #

dart pub add make_image_square

Usage #

import 'package:make_image_square/make_image_square.dart';

// 1200×800 landscape → 1200×1200 with top/bottom pads
final layout = makeImageSquare(1200, 800);
// canvas 1200, padTop 200, padBottom 200

// Force a specific square edge (e.g. 1080 for feed posts)
final ig = makeImageSquare(1200, 800, canvasSize: 1080);

// Padding-only helper
final pads = squarePadding(800, 1200); // portrait → pad left/right

Modes #

Notes #

• This package only returns numbers. It does not decode or rewrite image files.
• Prefer not to wire up dart:ui yourself? There is an in-browser padder for 1:1 posts that can letterbox, blur the frame, or crop without a Flutter project.
