Circle Crop Image — Crop a Photo Into a Circle Online Free

Yes. Choose PNG output to keep the area outside the circle transparent. The downloaded PNG has no Pixoate watermark.

Upload your image (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF or TIFF), drag the circle over the part you want, and download. The result is a transparent PNG by default, or you can switch to JPG with a solid background color if a platform needs one.

No. Every crop downloads clean and at full size — no watermark, no branding, no account requirement and no surprise paywall at the download step.

Yes. You can resize the circular crop area and reposition it to focus on the most important part of your image.

No, circular 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) circular crops, or set custom dimensions to suit your needs.

Yes. Circular crops are useful for social media profile pictures, dating apps, and professional networking sites.

Large spans the full longer side of the photo edge-to-edge, Profile crops to 80% of the shorter side which suits headshots and avatars, Medium is 70% for a tighter portrait crop, and Small is 50% for a close, zoomed-in circle. Pick a preset first, then fine-tune the position and size with the handles.

It sets the JPEG compression level from 1% (smallest file, more artifacts) to 100% (largest file, cleanest edge around the circle). Since the circle's curved edge is where compression artifacts show up first, keep it at 90% or above for profile pictures that will be viewed at full size.

Yes — switch Output Format to JPEG and a Background Color swatch appears so you can fill the corners outside the circle with any solid color. Keep PNG or WebP if you want the classic transparent circular cutout instead.

The +/- Radius buttons grow or shrink the circle by a fixed step and are quicker for small, precise nudges once you're close to the right size. Dragging the edge handles is faster for a big initial resize, and dragging inside the circle moves it without changing the radius.

Start with the Profile preset to frame the face correctly, switch Output Format to JPEG, set Quality to 90% or higher for a crisp edge, and pick a Background Color that matches your brand or a neutral white/gray — LinkedIn and most professional platforms expect a filled square, not a transparent PNG.

The circle is allowed to extend past the image's edges — the centre stays anchored over your photo, but the radius isn't capped at the nearest edge. Any part of the circle that falls outside the original photo becomes transparent if you're exporting PNG or WebP, or gets filled with your chosen Background Color if you switch to JPEG.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every image is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

Cropping, rotating, resizing and framing keep your original pixels — quality loss almost always comes from somewhere else. The two usual causes are enlarging a small image past the resolution it actually has, and re-saving a JPG over and over, because each save throws away a little more. Start from the largest original you still have, and export PNG when the image contains text, screenshots or flat color.

Circle Crop Image supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.

No — Circle Crop Image runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

Upload the picture, drag the circle over the part to keep, resize it with the edge handles or the Radius buttons, and select See result. Download the circle as a transparent PNG. The same steps work in a phone browser and on a computer.

Keep PNG (Transparent), the default Output Format, so the corners around the circle are empty instead of white. Choose JPEG only when a site rejects transparency, and then pick a Background Color that matches the page the picture will sit on.

Drag the circle over the part you want and download the result. Everything outside the circle is left empty in a PNG, so only the round part shows. Choose Profile for a headshot, or Large for the widest circle the photo allows.

There is no app to install. You can circle crop photo online in the browser on a phone or a computer: choose the photo from your gallery or files, crop it, and save the round PNG to the device.

Circle Crop has no border, outline or ring option; it saves the circle on a transparent or solid-color background. Add Border draws rectangular frames, including rounded-corner ones, so it will not follow the curve of a circle.

This tool makes a true circle with equal width and height, so an oval needs a different page. Open Crop by Shape and choose the Oval outline, which is one of its 38 shapes.

This is not a WhatsApp DP circle size converter with a fixed output: there is no WhatsApp preset, and the saved square is as wide as your circle's diameter in your photo's own pixels, shown as Diameter on the Info tab. For a round WhatsApp DP, crop the circle first and, if you need a particular size, set it with Image Resizer.

A picture file is a rectangle, so the circle crop is saved as a square whose corners are transparent in PNG or WebP, or filled with your Background Color in JPEG. The picture inside is clipped to the circle.

Start with the Profile preset, which covers 80% of the shorter side, then drag the circle until the face sits in the middle. The Radius − and + buttons tighten or loosen the crop. Keep the face away from the edge, in case an app adds its own circle on top.
