How to crop an image into a circle online

Crop any photo into a perfect circle online - free, with no signup and no watermark. Everything happens in your browser, so your image never leaves your device.

  1. Upload your image

    Choose a file, drop it anywhere on the page, or paste from your clipboard. JPG, PNG, and WebP all work.

  2. Position the circle

    Drag to frame your photo and zoom in for a pixel-perfect round crop - or switch to Fit to keep the whole image inside the circle.

  3. Download the round image

    Save the circle as a transparent PNG - or WebP or JPEG - at the original resolution or any size you pick.

Free circle cropper, circle cutter, and round image maker

Output
Transparent PNG by default - everything outside the circle stays clear, so the round image drops cleanly onto any background. WebP and JPEG are one tap away.
Privacy
Cropping runs entirely in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded to a server.
Price
Free, no signup, no watermark, no limit on how many images you crop.
Square to circle
A square image already fills the circle exactly - upload, download, done.
Fit mode
Make an image a circle without cropping anything: Fit shrinks the whole picture to sit inside the circle, with any background you choose behind it.
Styling
Add a ring border, padding, or a solid, gradient, or blurred background behind the circle.
Sizes
Original resolution, a custom pixel size, or presets: 320, 400, 512, and 1080 px.

Make a circle profile picture (pfp), logo, or sticker

Most avatars on the web are shown inside a circle, so cropping the picture yourself is the only way to control what ends up in the frame. Use this tool as a circle pfp maker and avatar cropper: make a round profile picture for Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, or any other app.

It is just as useful for design work: crop a logo into a circle for a website header or favicon, make round team photos for an about page, prepare circular product shots, or use it as a circle cutter to cut a clean round sticker out of any picture. Because the result is a transparent PNG, it fits seamlessly into presentations, documents, and collages.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop a picture into a circle?

Upload your picture, drag and zoom until the part you want fills the circle, then click Crop & Download. The whole process takes a few seconds and works on both desktop and mobile.

Does the circle crop keep a transparent background?

Yes. When you download as PNG (the default) or WebP, everything outside the circle is transparent. If you choose JPEG, which does not support transparency, the outside is filled with the background color you pick.

Can I turn a square image into a circle?

Absolutely. Upload the square image and it already fills the circle perfectly - just download it. You can still zoom and reposition first if you want a tighter round crop.

Can I make an image a circle without cropping it?

Yes. Switch the editor from Crop to Fit and the entire image is placed inside the circle - nothing is cut off. It is the easiest way to convert a rectangle image to a circle, or to make a profile picture fit in the circle on Facebook, WhatsApp, or any other app.

Is this circle cropper really free?

Yes - the tool is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many images you crop.

Can I add a border around the circle?

Yes. The Border slider draws a ring around the circle in white, black, or any custom color, and you control its width. Add padding too and you get a circle crop image with a clean border - a popular look for profile pictures and logos.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The cropping is done by your own browser using the HTML canvas. Your image never leaves your device, which also makes the tool fast even with very large photos.

What size should a round profile picture be?

A 400x400 px or 512x512 px circle works well almost everywhere; use 1080 px if you want extra sharpness. The size presets in the download settings let you export exactly these dimensions in one click.
