CIRCLE Crop an image into a circle
Drag the circle crop area. Download PNG, WebP or SVG to preserve transparent corners.
About this tool
Avatars, team pages, app icons, and chat heads often use round images. This tool cuts a circle from a photo and makes the corners transparent.
PNG, WebP, and SVG preserve transparent corners. JPG fills them with white. The tool defaults to PNG.
How to use it
- Upload the photo you want to make circular.
- Drag the circle over the part of the image you want to keep; for faces, position the eyes slightly above center.
- Optionally set exact output dimensions with the width and height fields.
- Download as PNG or WebP (transparent corners); or JPG if you specifically want a flattened white background.
Tips
- Check the result against something dark before using it. Transparent corners are invisible on a white page; a leftover fringe only shows up on dark backgrounds.
- Platforms that show round avatars usually accept square uploads and do the circle themselves; this tool is for the places that don't, like email signatures, slides, and websites.
FAQs
Why does my circle crop have a white box around it?
It was saved or re-shared as JPG somewhere along the way. JPG can't store transparency; the corners get flattened to white. Download as PNG or WebP and insert that file directly.
What size should a circular avatar be?
500–800 pixels across covers nearly every use. Most sites display avatars far smaller, and a huge circle crop makes pages slower.
Can I choose how big the circle is in the final file?
Yes. Enter a width and height and the crop exports at exactly that size.
Can I crop a rectangle instead?
Yes; use the rectangle crop tool, which has ratio presets and exact-dimension output.
Is the image processed on a server?
No. The circle is cut and exported entirely inside your browser.
