Circle Image Cropper

Upload your photo — drag it in or click to upload (PNG, JPG, or WebP).

Position and style — use the Zoom slider and drag the image to centre your subject inside the circle. Choose the background for the area outside the circle: Transparent, White, or a Custom colour.

Download — click "Crop & Download PNG" to save your circular image. Use Reset to start over. ```

Yes, by default. The tool exports a PNG, which supports transparency, so everything outside the circle is see-through — your round photo drops cleanly onto any background with no white box. If you'd prefer a solid backdrop instead, you can switch the background to White or a custom colour before downloading.

No. The cropper runs entirely in your browser, so your photo is processed on your own device and never uploaded. Nothing is stored once you close the tab. That keeps personal photos private and makes the crop instant, since there's no waiting for files to travel to and from a server.

Upload your image, then use the Zoom slider and drag the photo so the part you want sits inside the circle overlay. Pick a background for the outside area — transparent, white, or a custom colour — and click "Crop & Download PNG". The whole thing takes just a few seconds.

Yes. While transparent is the default, you can choose White or a Custom colour for the area outside the circle. A solid background is useful when the platform you're uploading to doesn't handle transparency well, or when you want the circle to sit on a specific colour to match your design.

Yes — that's exactly what it's for. Social profiles, team and about pages, forums, and many apps display avatars in round frames, and a pre-cropped circular PNG fits those perfectly with a transparent edge. Zoom and position your face or subject in the centre for the best result.

No. Cropping keeps the pixels inside the circle at their original quality — it only removes the corners. The result stays as sharp as your source image. For the best avatar, start from a reasonably high-resolution photo and a roughly square area so the circle captures your subject without over-zooming.

A PNG. PNG is used because it supports transparency, which is essential for a circular crop with see-through corners. If you specifically need a JPG (which can't be transparent and will fill the corners with a colour), convert the PNG afterwards with the PNG to JPG tool.

This tool is dedicated to one job — turning a photo into a clean round avatar quickly. The general Image Cropper offers many aspect ratios and shapes, including a circle option, plus rotation and exact-size cropping. Use this page when you just want a circle; use the Image Cropper when you need more cropping options.

A roughly square photo, or one where your subject is near the centre, works best — that way the circle captures what matters without cutting off important parts. You can zoom and drag to fine-tune, but starting close to square means less repositioning and a sharper result.

Yes. Any PNG, JPG, or WebP works, including logos and graphics — handy for round app icons or badge-style marks. If the graphic already has a transparent background, keep the circle background transparent too so the final round image layers cleanly over other elements.

Yes. It runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, so you can crop a circular profile picture on Android or iOS, zoom and drag with touch, and download the PNG. It's convenient for quickly making a round avatar from a photo on your phone before updating a profile.

No. There's nothing to download or install and no account to create. The whole tool runs in any modern web browser, so you don't need a desktop image editor. Just open the page, upload a photo, position it in the circle, and download.
