Crop Images by Shape - Heart, Star, Circle Custom Shapes

We offer circle, heart, star, diamond, hexagon, and custom geometric shapes. You can also create unique custom shapes.

Yes! You can resize any shape and reposition it to focus on the most important part of your image.

No, shaped cropping maintains the original image quality within the selected area. Only the shape changes, not the quality.

You can choose from small (200px) to large (1000px) shapes, or set custom dimensions to suit your needs.

Absolutely! Shaped crops are perfect for creating unique social media posts, profile pictures, and creative content.

PNG is the default and keeps everything outside the shape fully transparent, which is best for logos, stickers and overlays. Switch to JPEG if you need a smaller file with a solid background color behind the shape, or GIF for simple graphics; only PNG preserves transparency.

It controls the compression level of the exported file from 1% (smallest, most compressed) to 100% (largest, sharpest edges). For crisp shape outlines like a star or heart, keep it above 85% — lower values can introduce visible blockiness right at the shape's edge.

Yes — once you switch Output Format to JPEG, a Background Color picker appears so you can fill the area outside the shape with any solid color instead of transparency. This is useful when a platform doesn't support transparent PNGs and needs a flat-colored image instead.

Use the Width and Height +/- steppers under Resize Crop to nudge the shape to an exact pixel dimension, shown live as you click. You can still drag the shape to reposition it or use the blue handles for freeform resizing on desktop or touch.

For print or platforms without transparency support, pick JPEG format, push the Quality slider to 95-100% to avoid compression artifacts on the shape's outline, and set a Background Color that matches your brand or print background. For web/social use where the shape should float over any background, keep PNG with its automatic transparency instead.

Beyond the classic circle, square and heart, you can crop into triangle, star, diamond, oval, hexagon, octagon, pentagon, cross, moon, cloud, lightning bolt, arrow, teardrop, wave and five different flower outlines — 22 shapes in total, picked from the shape grid in the Shape panel. Every shape shares the same crop box, so you can switch shapes after positioning without having to redo your framing.

No — PNG is a lossless format, so the Quality slider only has an effect once you switch Output Format to JPEG or GIF, where it controls compression. If you're exporting a transparent PNG, you can ignore the slider entirely; it only becomes relevant when you pick a compressed format.
