Quickly crop images into perfect circles for profile pictures or icons. Supports transparent backgrounds and custom colors.
Output will be square PNG images; areas outside the circular avatar will be transparent.

Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
The output is a square PNG with the image clipped to a circular area. With the transparent background setting, the pixels outside the circle remain transparent; choosing a solid background fills the square canvas with the selected color. PNG is useful when the round edge needs to sit over another color or design because it can carry alpha transparency.
The default output is 512 × 512 pixels. Presets include 128, 256, 512, and 1024 pixels, plus the source image’s shorter side or a custom side length. A custom size is limited to 16–4096 pixels. The “original short side” option makes a square canvas whose side matches the shorter source dimension.
Cover scales the image until the circular opening is filled. On a wide or tall image, some of the outer content is cropped. Contain scales the full rectangular image into the circular opening, so empty space can remain around the image. The crop is centered; there is no separate drag-to-position control.
Padding reduces the visible image circle, while ring width reserves room for the outline. A solid background color and optional ring color can be chosen independently. Increasing the output dimensions creates a larger pixel canvas but cannot restore detail absent from the original.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Select one or more image files or drag them into the work area. The tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and AVIF inputs.
Choose a preset, the original short side, or a custom square output size. Pick Cover to fill the circle or Contain to retain the full image.
Choose a transparent or solid background, then adjust padding and ring width or color if needed.
Process the images and review each PNG result before downloading it. When processing several images, the same settings are applied across the batch.
For a 1200 × 800 source image, Original Short Side creates an 800 × 800 canvas. Cover fills the circle but trims the wider composition; Contain keeps the whole image and may leave visible space at the sides.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Use a transparent background when the avatar will sit on a page with its own background color. Check that a face or logo stays inside the centered crop.
Process multiple portraits or project marks with the same output size, fit, and ring settings, then review each result for edge cropping before saving.
Create a round image asset for a presentation or document, choosing a solid background when transparency is not wanted in the final layout.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
The file remains a square PNG canvas. Its circular image is visible while the corner pixels carry transparency.
Cover fills the circle and may crop the outer parts of a rectangular image. Contain preserves the whole image but can leave empty space within the circle.
No separate position control is provided; the image is centered. If the subject is off-center, prepare a better-centered source image before processing.
Yes. Add multiple supported files and apply the selected output settings to the batch. Review the individual PNG results before downloading.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
Cover may cut off a subject near the edge, especially on a wide or tall source image, because the crop is centered. A larger output size can increase the number of output pixels but does not add source detail. If the result must meet a platform’s avatar dimensions or file-size rules, check those requirements separately before use.
