Crop to a circle with a clean transparent edge
Round profile pictures and avatars are everywhere, but most images are square or rectangular. This tool crops any image into a perfect circle with a transparent background, so the corners outside the circle become see-through and the result sits cleanly on any colour rather than inside a square box.
Why transparency is the point
A circle drawn on a white square still shows the white corners when placed on a coloured page. Exporting with a transparent background instead means only the circular image shows, and it drops onto any background seamlessly. That is what makes a genuinely round avatar rather than a circle-in-a-square, and it requires a format that supports transparency, which the tool exports.
Composed in your browser
The crop happens locally, so a personal photo destined for a profile is not uploaded to be made round. Position the image, crop to the circle, and export a transparent result ready to use as an avatar or a round element in a design. Nothing leaves your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the background need to be transparent?
So only the circular image shows when placed on a coloured page. A circle on a white square would still show white corners; transparency removes them.
What format is exported?
A format that supports transparency, so the round crop drops onto any background seamlessly.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The crop is composed in your browser, so a personal profile photo is not uploaded.
What is it useful for?
Round profile pictures, avatars, and circular elements in a design that need to sit on any background.
Can I choose which part is in the circle?
Yes. Position the image so the part you want falls within the circular crop before exporting.
