Cropping an image into a circle
Why a transparent PNG?
A circle doesn't fill the rectangular bounds of an image — the four corners are left over. To keep those corners invisible on any background, the result must be saved as a PNG with transparency. A JPG would fill the corners with a solid color (usually black or white), ruining the round effect.
This tool always exports a transparent PNG, so your circular crop sits cleanly on websites, presentations, and chat avatars.
How the crop is centered
The largest possible circle is taken from the center of your image. If your photo isn't square, the tool centers the circle on the shorter dimension, so the most important part of a typical portrait stays in frame.
Great for profile pictures
Many platforms display avatars in a circle but expect a square upload. Pre-cropping to a transparent circle guarantees your picture looks right everywhere, including places that don't apply a circular mask.
Frequently asked questions
What format is the result?
A PNG with a transparent background, so the area outside the circle is fully see-through.
Can I crop a rectangular photo?
Yes. The tool takes the largest centered circle that fits, using the shorter side of your image as the diameter.
Will it work for profile pictures?
Absolutely — that's the most common use. The transparent PNG looks correct on any background or avatar frame.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The crop is done on a canvas in your browser; your image never leaves your device.
