Round images are everywhere in modern design: team pages, testimonials, author bios, email signatures, chat avatars and slide decks. A circle feels friendlier than a rectangle and keeps a grid of faces tidy. Most image editors make it surprisingly fiddly, though, especially if you want the corners outside the circle to be transparent.
This tool does it in a few seconds. Drop in a photo or logo, drag and zoom to frame it inside the circle, optionally add a border or background, and download a round PNG with transparent corners. It runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded.

Square corners clash with round profile and team-page layouts.

Circle
Transparent corners, so it sits cleanly on any background colour.
Export as PNG or WebP to keep the corners transparent. JPG has no transparency, so the area outside the circle is filled with the background colour you choose.
Drop a photo or logo into the workspace at the top. The round 500 × 500 preset is selected.
Drag to move the image inside the circle, zoom to fill it, and rotate if needed.
Keep the background transparent, or choose a solid colour or gradient, and add a border if you like.
Export as PNG for transparent corners, or JPG/WebP, and download your round image.
| Format | Corners | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| PNG | Transparent | Websites, slides, design tools, logos |
| WebP | Transparent | Websites (smaller files) |
| JPG | Filled with your chosen colour | Platforms that only accept JPG |
Images are always rectangles, so a "round image" is really a square image whose corners are transparent. The tool draws your photo onto a square canvas, applies a circular clipping mask, and leaves everything outside the circle empty. When exported as PNG or WebP, those empty pixels are saved as transparent, so the image looks perfectly round on any background colour.
JPG has no transparency. If you export as JPG, the corners are filled with the background colour you pick, so choose the same colour as the page or document where the image will appear.
A circle shows less of the image than a square, so framing matters:
A thin white or brand-coloured border helps round photos stand out on busy pages. Background options include transparent, a solid colour or a gradient, which is useful when a cut-out subject should sit on a coloured disc. The round preset exports at 500 × 500 pixels; you can set a custom size or use presets sized for Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Discord and Twitch.
For a matching set of social images, pair your round profile picture with a cover made with the Facebook cover resizer.
Social networks usually display a square upload inside a circular mask, so you don't strictly need a round file there. Round PNGs matter wherever no mask exists: website team and testimonial sections, email signatures, presentation slides, documents, newsletters and design mock-ups. A transparent round PNG drops straight into those without a visible square edge.
Profile photos are personal. This tool crops and exports on your device using the browser canvas; nothing is uploaded or stored, and there is no watermark on the result.
The workspace includes presets sized for popular platforms, including Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, YouTube, Discord and Twitch, plus custom round and square sizes. Choose the one closest to where the image will be used so it is not scaled more than necessary.
For websites, there are two approaches. You can upload a round PNG with transparent corners, which works in emails and places where you cannot add styling. Or you can upload a square image and make it round with CSS (border-radius: 50%), which keeps one file for both square and round uses. Email signatures and documents usually need the round PNG, because many email clients ignore that CSS.
Circles hide the corners of a photo, so the subject must sit centrally. For headshots, leave a little space above the hair and let the circle cut across the shoulders; cropping at the neck looks abrupt. Rotate the image slightly if the head is tilted, and zoom so the face fills roughly half to two-thirds of the circle. Consistent framing across a team page makes everyone look like part of the same set.
Many logos are designed for rectangles and look cramped inside a circle. Give them breathing room: zoom out so the logo sits inside the circle with an even margin, choose a solid brand colour or white background, and add a thin border if the logo needs separation from the page. Check the result at small sizes, such as a 40-pixel avatar, where thin text in a logo often disappears.
Make consistent round headshots for staff profiles and author bios.
A small round photo or logo with transparent corners looks clean in any email client.
Drop round speaker photos into slides without visible square edges.
Create circular versions of logos for stickers, buttons and app icons.
Add the image above, drag and zoom to frame it inside the circle, then download it as PNG. The area outside the circle is transparent.
Yes, when you export as PNG or WebP with the transparent background option. JPG cannot store transparency, so its corners are filled with the colour you choose.
Yes. Set the border width and colour to frame your round image, for example a white ring for profile pictures.
Yes. The round preset is 500 × 500 pixels, and you can set a custom size or choose presets for platforms such as Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and Discord.
No. Cropping and exporting happen in your browser; your photo never leaves your device.
Most social networks display square photos inside a circular mask. A round PNG with transparent corners is still useful for websites, slides, email signatures and designs where no mask is applied.
Yes. For best results remove the logo's background first with the AI Background Remover, then crop it into a circle here.
Yes. Download it as PNG, then turn it into an .ico file with the PNG to ICO converter for Windows or website icons.
Use the platform preset if there is one. For websites, 400–500 pixels keeps the image sharp on high-density screens.
Yes. Choose a solid colour or gradient background; the circle sits on that colour inside the square image.
The tool works on one image at a time so each face can be framed carefully.
