What Does "Crop Image to Circle" Do?
This tool crops a photo to the largest centered square, then masks it into a circle with a transparent background — the standard look for profile pictures, avatars, and badge-style graphics. The result is always a PNG, since only PNG can hold the transparency outside the circle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I control how much of the photo is included?▾
This tool automatically uses the largest centered square from your photo — for finer control, crop the image to your preferred square first with our Crop Image tool, then run it through this tool.
What file format do I get back?▾
Always a PNG, so the transparent area outside the circle displays correctly.
