How to crop a picture into a circle

  1. Choose your photo.
  2. Drag the circle over the face or subject and resize it with the handles.
  3. Pick 'Profile picture 400×400' for a small avatar, or leave the size blank for full resolution.
  4. Press Crop image and download the PNG.

Why PNG?

A circle leaves four corners outside the image. Only formats with transparency (PNG, WebP) can keep those corners see-through; JPG would fill them with white. That's why circle crops are always saved as PNG.

Most networks crop square uploads into a circle themselves, so pre-cropping is mainly useful for websites, slides, email signatures and design files.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the background black or white in some apps?

The PNG corners are transparent; apps that don't support transparency show them as a solid color. Open the PNG in a browser to see the real result.

Can I make an oval instead?

Pick the Free ratio first, then choose Circle — or use any ratio and Round image corners at 50% for an ellipse.

How do I keep the edges smooth?

The circle is anti-aliased. For the smoothest edges, export at 400 px or larger and let the website scale it down.
