Want a stretched ellipse instead? Use Oval Crop
This circle crop tool cuts any photo into a clean round shape in seconds. Open a picture, drag the circle over the part you want to keep, and resize it with the corner handles; the crop stays locked perfectly round the whole time, so the saved file is a true circle measured in real image pixels. The download comes out at your photo's full resolution with everything outside the circle transparent, ready to use as an avatar, profile picture or design element with no white box around it.
Round images are the default portrait format of the internet: profile photos on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Discord, Slack, YouTube and nearly every app are displayed inside a circle. Cropping the picture round yourself, instead of letting each app do it, means you decide exactly where the face sits inside the circle before uploading. The same cutout works for team pages, email signatures, speaker cards, chat stickers and any layout that calls for a round photo.
Downloaded as PNG or WebP, the outside of the circle is fully transparent with a smooth anti-aliased edge. That makes the round photo a ready-made element: place it over any color, gradient or design and only the circle shows. Choose JPG instead and the surroundings become clean white, which suits documents and printing. Either way the circle is rendered from your original pixels at full resolution, never from the on-screen preview.
The circle appears over your photo the moment it loads. Drag anywhere inside to move it, pull a corner handle to grow or shrink it, and the veil outside the shape shows exactly what will be cut away. Nothing stretches and nothing surprises: what you see inside the circle is precisely what you download. There are no accounts, watermarks or limits, and the whole crop takes about five seconds.
The crop happens entirely in your browser. Your picture is opened locally, clipped on your device and saved straight back to it; nothing is uploaded to any server. Private photos stay on your machine, and the tool keeps working even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Need a different cut? The classic Crop Image tool crops free hand or in fixed ratios like 1:1 and 16:9. Shape croppers cover square, heart, oval, star, diamond, hexagon and triangle cutouts, the perspective crop straightens photographed documents, and the lasso tool cuts along any outline you draw. The full cropper collection shows them all side by side.
Open the picture, then drag the circle over the part you want to keep and resize it with the corner handles. Press download and the round cutout saves at the photo's full resolution. The whole process takes a few seconds and needs no signup.
Yes, that is the default. PNG and WebP downloads keep everything outside the circle fully transparent with a smooth edge, so the round photo can be placed over any design. JPG cannot store transparency, so there the outside becomes white automatically.
Yes. The crop box stays locked to a perfect square in real image pixels while you move and resize it, so the saved file is always an exact circle. For stretched elliptical shapes, use the separate Oval Crop tool.
The cutout is rendered from your original file at full resolution, not from the on-screen preview. If the circle covers a 2000 pixel wide area of your photo, the download is 2000 pixels wide.
No. The image is opened and clipped entirely in your browser, and the result is saved from your device. Nothing is transmitted to any server, so private pictures stay private.
