About circle cropping
This tool crops an image into a circle and exports it as a transparent PNG — perfect for profile pictures, avatars and logos. You can centre and size the circle, then download a clean round image with transparency outside the circle. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
How Circle Crop works
How to use it
- Drop or choose an image.
- Adjust the circle position and size if needed.
- Download the round PNG with a transparent background.
How it works
The image is drawn onto a canvas, a circular clipping path is applied, and everything outside the circle is made transparent. The result is saved as a PNG so the transparency is preserved on any background.
Best results
Square or near-square images crop most naturally into a circle. Centre your subject before cropping, and use a high-resolution source if the avatar will be shown large.
