Circle Crop

Crop any image to a perfect circle and download it as a transparent PNG — ideal for round avatars and profile pictures. Everything runs in your browser.

How to crop an image to a circle

  1. Drop in your image.
  2. Drag and resize the square selection — the circle is inscribed inside it.
  3. Crop and download the transparent PNG.

About circle cropping

A circle crop cuts a round area out of your image and makes the corners transparent — exactly what you need for a round profile photo, an avatar, a logo badge or a sticker. The selection stays square, so the circle is never distorted.

The result is a transparent PNG (JPEG can’t store transparency), so it drops cleanly onto any background colour. It all runs in your browser — your image is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What format is the result?

A transparent PNG, so the area outside the circle is see-through and the cutout sits cleanly on any background. JPEG can’t store transparency, so PNG is always used.

Is the circle distorted?

No. The selection is locked to a square, so the inscribed circle is always perfectly round.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The crop happens entirely in your browser, so your image never leaves your device.

Can I use it for a profile picture?

Yes — that’s the main use. Crop to a circle, download the PNG, and upload it anywhere round profile pictures are shown.
