Crops From the Center

The circle always sits in the middle of your photo, and zoom moves in on that spot. If your subject is off to one side, trim the photo first with the Image Cropper.

Opens JPG, PNG, WebP and More

Any image your browser can display works, including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF. iPhone HEIC photos open in Safari; in other browsers, convert them to JPG first.

Full Resolution, No Watermark

Leave the size blank and the circle keeps your photo's own pixels: a 4032 x 3024 photo gives a 3024 px circle at 1.0x zoom. No logo is added and no account is needed.

Your Photo Stays on Your Device

The crop happens inside this browser tab and the file goes straight to your downloads. The page sends anonymous usage stats, such as the zoom level and a file size range, but never the photo.

Add your photo.

Drop one image onto the page or click to choose it. JPG, PNG, WebP and most other image types work, and the crop editor opens.

Frame the circle.

Drag the zoom slider to move in on the center of your photo. Type an output size in pixels if you need one, and pick PNG or WebP.

3

Download your circle.

Check the preview and the size shown under it, then click Download. The file is saved with your photo's name plus -circle.

When Do You Need to Circle Crop?

Round images show up in profile pictures, logos, team pages and slides.

Profile Pictures & Avatars

Make a round profile picture or DP from a portrait with your face near the middle. Zoom in until it fills the circle, then upload the PNG to your accounts.

  • Round profile photo for WhatsApp, Discord or Slack
  • Circle avatar for a game, forum or app account
  • Matching round headshots for a whole team page

Logos and Icons

Turn a square logo into a round badge with clear corners. Type a small size such as 64 or 128 px for icons, or leave it blank for full size.

  • Round brand badge for a website header or footer
  • Small circle icons from 16 px up
  • Transparent PNG to place over banners and slides

Presentations & Documents

Add round portraits to slides, reports and proposals. The transparent corners let the photo sit on any colored background without a white box around it.

  • Speaker or author photo on a title slide
  • Round team photos in a company report
  • Circle product shots in a sales proposal

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about circle cropping images online.

How do I crop a picture into a circle?

Drop your picture on this page and the editor opens with a round preview. Drag the zoom slider until the circle frames what you want, pick PNG or WebP, then click Download. The circle is always cut from the center of the picture.

Is there a free circle crop tool with no watermark?

Yes. This circle crop tool is free, needs no account and adds no watermark or logo to your image. There is no daily limit either, so you can crop as many photos as you like, one at a time.

How do I circle crop an image with no background?

Every crop here already has no background outside the circle. The corners of the square file are fully transparent in both PNG and WebP, so only the round image shows on a page or slide. The background inside the circle stays as it was; clear it first with the Background Remover.

How do I crop an image into a circle without losing quality?

Choose PNG and leave the output size blank. The circle then keeps the original pixels of your photo at the current zoom, and PNG saves them with no compression loss. Typing a size bigger than the one shown in the empty box stretches the image and makes it softer.

What size is the circle crop output?

The file is a square as wide as the short side of your photo, divided by the zoom. A 3000 x 2000 photo gives 2000 x 2000 px at 1.0x and 1000 x 1000 px at 2.0x. You can type any size from 16 to 8192 px instead.

Can I move the circle to a different part of the photo?

No. The circle is always centered, and zoom moves in on the middle of the photo. If your subject sits off to one side, crop the photo with the Image Cropper first so the subject is in the center, then circle crop that result.

Can I bulk circle crop images?

No. The tool crops one image at a time and has no batch mode or ZIP download. After each download, click New Image to load the next photo. Zoom, size and format go back to their defaults for every new image.

Can I crop a GIF into a circle?

You can open a GIF, but the download is a still image, not an animation. The tool draws a single frame of the GIF into the circle and saves it as PNG or WebP. Animated circle crops are not supported.

Should I pick PNG or WebP for a circle crop?

Pick PNG for the sharpest result and the widest support. It is the default and loses no detail. WebP makes a smaller file with slight compression loss and still keeps the corners transparent, but some older apps can't open WebP files.

Can I add a border or background color to the circle?

No. The tool only cuts the circle and leaves the corners transparent. It has no border, outline, shadow or fill color option. To show the circle on a colored square, place the PNG on a colored background in your slide or design app.

Which image formats can I circle crop?

Any image your browser can open works, including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF. iPhone HEIC photos open in Safari but often fail in other browsers, so convert those with the HEIC to JPG tool first. The download is always PNG or WebP.

Is my photo sent anywhere when I circle crop it?

No. The photo is cropped inside your browser tab and saved straight to your downloads. The page does send anonymous usage stats, such as the zoom value, the chosen format and a file size range, but never the image, its pixels or its file name.
