How to use the Crop Image to Circle
- Drop your photo — the circle shape is already selected.
- Drag and resize the circle over the face or object.
- Download the round PNG.
Why PNG?
Only PNG (and WebP) keep the corners transparent, so the circle sits cleanly on any background. JPG has no transparency and would fill the corners with a color.
Profile pictures
Most platforms crop profile photos to a circle themselves, but uploading a round image first lets you control exactly what stays in frame. For a square version use Crop Image to Square.

Frequently asked questions
Will the corners be transparent?
Yes, when you download as PNG or WebP. JPG fills them with a solid color.
Can I make an oval instead?
The circle tool keeps a perfect circle. For other shapes on a website, see Image Shape Mask.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Cropping happens in your browser.
Can I install Crop Image to Circle as a web app and use it offline?
Yes. Crop Image to Circle is an installable web app (PWA) — installed from your browser, not downloaded from an app store. Click Install app at the top of this page in Chrome or Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS) or on Android, use Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone and iPad, or File → Add to Dock in Safari 17+ on a Mac.
