Max 200 MBAccepted: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, BMP, HEIC

Create a circular crop of any photo online, perfect for profile pictures, avatar icons, round logos, and social media thumbnails. The output is a transparent PNG that you can use on any colored background without a white square border.

LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, and most messaging apps display profile photos in a circle. Cropping your photo to a circle before uploading ensures the key part of your face (or logo) is centered in the circular frame, not cut off by the platform's auto-crop.

How to use it

Three steps, under 30 seconds from upload to download.

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    Select a JPG, PNG, HEIC, or WebP image. Your photo is processed locally in the browser, not sent to any server.

  2. 2

    Enable circular crop and position

    Select the circle/ellipse crop option. Drag the crop circle over the part of the image you want to keep, typically centering on your face for a profile photo.

  3. 3

    Download the circular PNG

    Click Download. The result is a PNG file with the circular image on a transparent background, ready for any platform or design tool.

Questions & answers

Everything you might need to know before using the tool.

Why does my circular photo still show a white background?+
This happens when the output is saved as JPG, JPG does not support transparency. Make sure to download as PNG. The circular crop tool outputs PNG with a transparent background by default.
What size should a LinkedIn profile photo be?+
LinkedIn profile photos display at 400×400 pixels minimum (recommended: 800×800 px). After cropping to a circle, the output is a square PNG with transparent corners, LinkedIn applies its own circular mask when displaying it.
Can I crop a logo to a circle?+
Yes. Upload your logo image, enable the circle crop, center the crop over the logo mark, and download. If your logo has a white background, remove the background first using the Remove Background tool, then apply the circle crop.
Will the circular crop work on iPhone?+
Yes. Open the crop tool in Safari on your iPhone, upload from your Camera Roll, select the circle crop option, and download. The result saves to your Files app as a PNG.
