Crop an image into a circle

Upload a photo, move and zoom it inside the circle and download a round PNG with a transparent background. Perfect for profile pictures, email signatures, resumes, presentations and stickers.

How it works

  1. Choose the photo

    Tap the box or drop in the image you want to crop.

  2. Frame it inside the circle

    Drag the photo and use the zoom until the important part sits inside the circle.

  3. Download the PNG

    Pick the output size and download the round image with a transparent background.

Why the result is a PNG

An image file is always rectangular. For a photo to look round, the corners have to be transparent, and only formats like PNG or WebP allow that. A JPG doesn't support transparency: the corners would come out white or black. That's why the download is a PNG, which you can place over any background in Canva, PowerPoint, Word or Google Docs.

Recommended sizes

For an avatar or an email signature, 512 pixels is more than enough. For a resume or a presentation use 1024 pixels, which looks sharp even in print. If the original photo is small, pick a size close to its own so it doesn't look blurry.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop a photo into a circle?

Upload the photo to this tool, position it inside the circle by dragging and zooming, and download the PNG. The corners are transparent, so the image looks round on any background.

Is the background transparent?

Yes. Everything outside the circle is transparent in the downloaded PNG. If you open it in a viewer that doesn't show transparency it may look white or black, but once you place it in a document it looks round.

Can I crop with rounded corners instead of a circle?

Yes. Under “Shape” you can choose between a circle and a square with rounded corners, the style used for app icons.

Does it work for a resume photo?

Yes. Download the image at 1024 pixels and place it in your Word, Canva or Google Docs template. Because it's a transparent PNG, it blends with any background color.

Do I need Photoshop or Canva to do this?

No. The crop is done right in your browser, with nothing to install and no account to create.

Is the photo uploaded to the internet?

No. The crop happens on your device and the image isn't sent to any server.
