About this tool

Create Circular Profile Pictures

Crop any image to a circle or custom shape to create profile pictures for social media, avatars, or logos. The output is a PNG file with a transparent background where the shape cutout is — this means the circular image will blend into any background color when used on websites or apps.

Why is the output a PNG and not a JPG?

JPG does not support transparency. The circular crop requires transparent pixels in the corners where the image is cut away. PNG supports an alpha channel (transparency), which is required to display a circle without a white box around it. If you need a JPG, choose "Solid color" background and set it to white or your desired background color.

How do I use a circular image on my website?

Upload the PNG and apply CSS: border-radius: 50% to an img tag, or use it directly as a PNG with transparent background. Many CMS platforms and design tools (Canva, Figma) accept circular PNG files and blend the transparency correctly.

Can I crop to an exact pixel size?

Yes — set the output size field to your target dimension in pixels. The tool renders the crop at that resolution. For a 400×400 px LinkedIn photo, set output size to 400. The crop area is always square (for circle/rounded shapes), so width and height are equal.
