Circular crop with an instant preview

For creators and web teams finishing a visual before publishing or sharing it, this tool keeps the edit quick. Crop an image into a round avatar on a transparent background.

Crop an image into a round avatar on a transparent background. Check the finished look before downloading it, with no upload or storage of the source.

How to use

Choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP image up to 20 MB to prepare it for a round crop.
Look at the preview: the kept area is cut into a circle on a transparent background.
If the framing misses the subject, erase the selection and load a better centered picture.
Run the processing action to create the round avatar file.
Download the result, preferably as PNG when you need to keep the transparent background.

Example

This is useful for making a round profile picture from a portrait. Pick an image where the face is already centered, because a circular crop can cut off the edges. The transparent background then lets you place the avatar on a website, contact card or chat profile.

Limits and formats

The crop is circular; if the subject is off center, prepare a reframed image before loading it.
Transparency must be saved in a compatible format, otherwise the final file may show a solid background.
Only the listed input formats are accepted, and the file must stay within the displayed size limit.

Where processing happens

The circular crop is performed entirely in your browser. The image is read from your device, transformed in memory, and then offered for download. Nothing is uploaded, and the source file is not retained by the tool after you finish.

Frequently asked questions

Is the area around the circle transparent?

The tool describes a round avatar on a transparent background. To preserve that transparency, download a PNG rather than a JPEG, because JPEG cannot store transparent pixels and will show a filled background.

Can I move the circle over the photo?

This page does not describe a position control. If your subject is not centered, prepare a cropped or centered version before loading it, so the circular result keeps the important part visible.

Which file type is best for a social profile?

PNG is a good choice when you want sharp edges and a transparent surround. JPEG can still be used, but it will fill the background and may be less convenient if you want to place the avatar over another color.
