Changing rectangle images to small squares

Does anyone know how to post photos in a required size of 1080x1080 pixels (square) without losing main image content? I couldn't find a tutorial on this in Photosop or YouTube. Yet others ARE doing this in places like Poshmark, Marketplace, and so on. If i use the crop tool and crop the images I took, I cut off a critical part of them. If i re-size these multiple regular size images (from Photoshop's default rectangle size) to this small square, the same thing happens.

Would really love some direction o n how to do this! Thanks!

Before and after images would be helpful to illustrate.

You can use content aware fill or generative fill to infill content.

Another option is content aware scale.

Are you trying to change the aspect ratio of the original image?

You mentioned starting with a rectangle and making it square (1080 x 1080)

If you crop a rectangle to a square format, then you have to either lose some of the original content, or have empty areas of black or white.

If you don't mind changing the aspect ratio and distorting the content, then use Image size and uncouple the link between hieght and width
