About Circle crop (round profile picture)

Cut a photo into a circle for profile pictures, with an optional ring around the edge. Centre the face before you crop, because platforms often display avatars as circles and trim the corners of a square. The result is a PNG with transparent corners.

How to use Circle crop (round profile picture)

  1. Open your photo and move the circle over the face or subject.
  2. Add a ring if you want a coloured outline.
  3. Download the round picture.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the corner of my circle crop transparent?

A circle cannot fill a rectangle, so the corners are left empty. PNG keeps that transparency, so the picture sits cleanly on any background.

What size should a profile picture be?

Start with a square photo at least a few hundred pixels wide, so the circle stays sharp. The face should sit in the centre with a little space around it.

Can I use the circle on any site?

The saved file is a square PNG with a round picture, and the corners are transparent. Most sites still show it as a circle or as a square with clear corners.
