I don't see the image as "distorted". Cropped to a circle, yes, but it has been the "in" thing with "social" sites  (and some less social ones) for several years now. Typically they crop a centered circle  whose diameter is the smallest dimension of the image provided.

Try to zoom in the cropped picture and you'll see something strange / distorted around the name and the lion. And it also happens when I upload an image to Instagram's feed. I'm a beginner to Gimp, maybe I'm doing something wrong when creating the image. May be the size? I'm using 1080x1080pixels. First, I create the blue background layer, next the lion image and then the text box, each one in a different layer. After that I save and export. Then I upload on Instagram and it gets like that. Apparently it's ok on mobile screen but it gets strange on desktop version, do you know what I mean?
