Crop an Image Into a Circle

Circle Crop is a free online tool to crop any image into a perfect circle with transparent corners and export it as a square PNG — ideal for avatars, profile pictures, logos and social media icons. Just drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP, use the zoom slider to frame the shot, and download a clean circular image with a fully transparent background outside the circle. There's no sign-up, no watermark and no upload: your photo is processed 100% in your browser, so it never leaves your device. The largest centred circle is cropped automatically and the result stays perfectly round and centred every time.

Frequently asked questions

What image formats can I crop into a circle?

Any image your browser can open works — JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and more. The result is always exported as a PNG so the transparent corners are preserved.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The circle crop happens entirely in your browser using an on-page canvas, so your image is never uploaded and nothing leaves your device.

Are the corners really transparent?

Yes. The output is a square PNG where everything outside the circle is fully transparent, so it drops cleanly onto any background or profile page.

Why is the downloaded image square instead of a circle?

PNG files are always rectangular, so we use a square canvas that keeps the circle perfectly round and centred, with transparent padding filling the corners.

How do I zoom or reposition the photo inside the circle?

Use the zoom slider (1x to 3x) to scale your image so the important part sits inside the centred circle, and watch the live preview update instantly.

Is there a file size limit or a watermark?

There's no watermark and no account needed. Because everything runs locally in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — most photos crop instantly.
