Loading the tool…
To crop an image into a circle, add your photo, drag it to position and use the zoom slider until the face or subject fits the circle, then press Apply. You download a square PNG with transparent corners. Nothing is uploaded; the cropping happens in your browser.
Turn any photo into a perfectly round image for profile pictures, avatars and team pages. Drag and zoom to choose exactly what sits inside the circle, then download a transparent PNG with smooth edges. It is a free tool from Websolindia, a New Delhi website design and SEO company that builds fast, image-optimised websites.
Unlike most online image tools, this one does not upload your pictures. Your browser decodes the photo and shows a draggable frame; the final crop is cut from the full-resolution image on your device. You can process up to 30 images at a time and download them one by one or together as a ZIP.
Once your image is ready, you may also want the Square Image Cropper Online, the Round Image Corners or the PNG Image Resizer Online. All of our free image tools are listed in the Image Resizer & Cropper Tools collection and the Websolindia Image Converter.
Use this table to choose settings with confidence.
| Output | Pixels | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 256 × 256 | Avatars, comments |
| Medium | 512 × 512 | Profile pictures |
| Large | 1024 × 1024 | High-resolution profiles, print |
| Largest | Up to the shorter side of the photo | Maximum detail |
This is exactly what happens to your image, with no hidden step. You can check that nothing is uploaded by watching your browser's network tab while you use the tool.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Read and decode | The photo is decoded; camera orientation is applied. |
| 2. Choose the square | You drag and zoom a square window over the photo. The visible side is min(width, height) ÷ zoom. |
| 3. Cut out the square | That region is cut from the full-resolution image and scaled to your output size with a Lanczos filter. |
| 4. Apply the circle | Pixels farther than half the size from the centre become transparent, with an anti-aliased edge of about one pixel. |
| 5. Add the ring (optional) and encode | A coloured ring of your chosen width is blended along the edge, and the result is saved as PNG or WebP. |
| Setting | Default | Choices | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output size | 512 px | Largest possible; 256 px; 512 px; 1024 px; 2048 px | |
| Save as | PNG (transparent corners) | PNG (transparent corners); WebP (smaller, transparent corners) | |
| Add a coloured ring | Off | On / Off | |
| Ring colour | #ffffff | Any colour | |
| Ring width (% of the diameter) | 4 | 1 to 15 |
| What | Formula | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Visible side | min(width, height) ÷ zoom | Zoom 1 shows the largest possible square. |
| Edge coverage | clamp(radius − distance + 0.5, 0, 1) | Alpha value of each edge pixel for a smooth circle. |
| Ring width | size × ring % ÷ 100 | Measured inward from the edge. |
| Component | Role | Where it runs |

| Canvas preview | Shows the crop frame | Your browser |
| Our circle mask | Anti-aliased circular alpha | Your browser |
| Topic | Detail |

Digital images are rectangles. A circular picture is a square image whose corners are transparent. Websites and apps display it as a circle.
PNG for compatibility, or WebP for a smaller file. Both keep the transparent corners; JPG cannot.
Yes. Drag the image, use the mouse wheel or the zoom slider, or the arrow keys when the crop area is focused.
Yes. Tick 'Add a coloured ring' and choose its colour and width.
The circle cropper works on one photo at a time so that you can position each one.
Use the Square Image Cropper Online. To round only the corners of a rectangle, use Round Image Corners.
Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, adds no watermark and has no daily limit. It is provided by Websolindia.
No. Your images are read and processed inside your browser on your own device. They are never sent to Websolindia or anyone else, which is why the tool is safe for private photos.
No. New files are created from the pixels, so camera details, GPS location and other embedded metadata are not copied. Keep your originals if you need that information.
Up to 30 images per batch and 150 MB per image. Images above roughly 120 megapixels are declined with a clear message rather than freezing your browser.
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on computers, phones and tablets. Large images and AI or AVIF features run faster on a computer.
