About Circle Crop Image
The image is center-cropped to a square, then clipped to a circle with the corners left fully transparent — which is why the output is always PNG. JPEG cannot store transparency, so saving a circle crop as JPEG would fill the corners with black or white.
How to use it
- Choose an image, or drag one onto the drop zone.
- Set output size, ring thickness and ring color.
- Check the preview, then download. Output is PNG, so transparency survives. Your original file is never modified.

Questions
Why does my profile picture still show as a square elsewhere?
Many platforms apply their own circular mask in CSS and ignore the transparency in your file. The circle crop matters most for places that display the image as-is, such as email signatures and documents.
Which file types can I use?
JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and SVG — anything your browser can display. Because decoding is handled by your browser rather than a conversion server, support tracks whatever your browser can already open.
Is there a file size limit?
No imposed limit — there is no server quota to hit. The real ceiling is your device's memory, since the whole file is held in RAM while it is processed. Desktop browsers cope with very large files; phones give up sooner.
What are the limits on output size?
It accepts 32 to 4096px, starting at 512px. The other numeric controls have their own ranges: ring thickness 0–15%.
