About the Circle Crop Image
This free circle crop tool turns any photo into a perfect circle with a transparent background. Upload an image, drag the circular selection over the part you want to keep, resize it from any corner, and download a round PNG. It is ideal for profile pictures, avatars, logos, team pages and presentation slides where a clean circular photo looks far more polished than a square one.
Everything happens locally in your browser using the HTML canvas — your photo is never uploaded to a server, which makes the tool fast and completely private. The exported file is a PNG with real alpha transparency, so the area outside the circle stays see-through on any background you place it on.
Because the crop exports at your image's native resolution, you keep full quality: a 2000-pixel-wide photo gives you a sharp 2000-pixel circle, perfect for printing or high-DPI displays.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I crop a picture into a circle for free?
Upload your image here, drag the circular selection over the area you want, and click Crop to Circle. You get a transparent PNG instantly — no signup, no watermark, and the image never leaves your browser.
Does the circle crop keep the background transparent?
Yes. The tool exports a PNG with true alpha transparency, so everything outside the circle is fully see-through. Placed on any colored background, only the round photo shows.
Why does my circle image show a white background in some apps?
Some apps (and the JPG format) don't support transparency and fill it with white. Keep the file as PNG and use it in software that supports transparent images, such as web pages, PowerPoint, Canva or Photoshop.
What is the best size for a circular profile picture?
Most platforms display profile photos at 400 × 400 px or smaller, but uploading a larger circle (800–1000 px) keeps it sharp on retina screens. This tool keeps your image's original resolution, so crop from the biggest photo you have.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The crop is performed entirely in your browser with the HTML canvas API. Your image never leaves your device, so it's safe to use with personal photos.
