Circle Crop Image
Crop any photo into a perfect circle or oval — transparent background, exact avatar sizes, no watermark.
About this tool
Round pictures are everywhere — profile photos, team pages, presentation slides, photo collages, YouTube channel art — but most image editors only cut rectangles. This tool crops your photo into a perfect circle with a transparent background: drag the circle over the face or subject, resize it with the corner handle, and download a clean PNG with no watermark. Because the transparency is baked into the file, the round image drops straight onto any colored page, slide or website without a white box around it.
Need a round avatar at an exact size? Pick 128, 256 or 512 px from the size menu and the circle is exported at exactly that resolution — handy for Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, forums and website author photos. And if a perfect circle is too strict, the Oval preset lets the selection stretch to any proportions, for portrait ovals and vintage-style photo frames. Everything runs in your browser: no upload, no sign-up, no file limit.
How to crop a picture into a circle
- Drop your photo — a circle selection appears over it.
- Drag the circle to position it; drag the corner dot to resize. Switch to Oval for free proportions, and pick an exact output size if you need one.
- Click Crop & download to save the transparent PNG.
Frequently asked questions
How do I crop a picture into a circle?
Drop your photo on the tool, drag the circle over the part you want to keep, resize it with the corner handle, and click Crop & download. You get a PNG that is transparent outside the circle.
Is the background around the circle transparent?
Yes. The download is a PNG with full transparency outside the circle, so it drops cleanly onto any page, slide, collage or website background.
What size should a round profile picture be?
Most platforms are happy with 512 × 512 px or smaller — Discord uses 128, WhatsApp 500, X/Twitter 400. The size menu lets you export the circle at 128, 256 or 512 px, or keep the original resolution.
Can I crop into an oval instead of a circle?
Yes — switch to the Oval preset and the selection stretches freely, so you can cut portrait or landscape ovals as well as perfect circles.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole crop happens on your own device using the browser's canvas. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no watermark, sign-up or file limit.
