Image Crop to Circle
Image Crop to Circle lets you turn any photo into a perfectly circular image with transparent corners, directly in your browser. Upload your image by clicking the upload button or dragging a file onto the canvas, position the circular selection over the area you want to keep, and download the result as a PNG with an alpha channel. The circular mask is applied during export, so the transparent areas outside the circle are fully preserved. This is ideal for profile pictures, avatars, logos, and circular design elements.
Perfect Circle Output
Export a square PNG with transparent corners, creating a perfectly circular visible area for any use case.
Transparent Background
The PNG output includes an alpha channel so areas outside the circle are fully transparent.
Drag and Resize
Move the circle anywhere on your image and drag the corner handles to resize while maintaining a perfect 1:1 ratio.
Exact Pixel Control
Type exact X, Y, width, and height values in the left panel for precise positioning of the circular crop area.
100% Browser-Based
All processing runs locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device and nothing is uploaded to any server.
How to Crop an Image into a Circle
Getting a circular crop is straightforward. Upload your image using the toolbar button or by dragging and dropping a file onto the workspace. A circular selection overlay appears over the center of your image. Drag the circle to position it over the part of the photo you want to keep, and resize it by pulling any corner handle. The selection stays locked to a perfect square so the resulting circle is always symmetrical. Click Apply Crop to preview the result or Download to save the circular image as a PNG file.
Drag and Drop or Click to Upload
Drop any image file directly onto the dark canvas area or click the Upload button in the toolbar. Accepted formats include PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. Image dimensions are read automatically and displayed in the info card alongside the current crop selection size.
Rule of Thirds Composition Grid
The selection overlay includes a subtle nine-section grid based on the rule-of-thirds principle from photography and design. Placing key subjects along those lines or at their intersections tends to produce more balanced, visually appealing circular crops.
Perfect for Profile Pictures and Avatars
Most social media platforms display profile pictures in a circular frame. Pre-cropping your photo into a circle gives you precise control over exactly which part of the image appears in that frame. Whether you are preparing a LinkedIn headshot, an Instagram avatar, a YouTube channel icon, or a Discord profile picture, this tool ensures the most important part of your photo is centered and visible within the circle.
Transparent PNG Output
The exported image is a square PNG file with an alpha channel. The visible area is a perfect circle, and the four corner areas are fully transparent. This makes the output ready to use in design software, websites, presentations, and anywhere that supports PNG transparency without any additional editing.
Exact Pixel Input for Precision
For more control than dragging allows, the left panel includes X, Y, W, and H input fields where you can type exact pixel values. When you change the width or height, both values stay in sync to maintain the 1:1 aspect ratio required for a perfect circle.
