How to crop an image into a circle
- Choose a photo. The largest circle that fits is placed in the middle.
- Drag inside the circle to move it over the face, or drag outside it to draw a smaller circle.
- Optional: open Border to add a coloured ring around it.
- Download as PNG (transparent corners) or WebP. JPG fills the corners with the background colour you pick.
How big is the result?
The picture is a square as wide as your circle, with everything outside the circle transparent. A ring adds its width on every side, measured as a percentage of the circle's width.
Example
From a 1080 × 1350 portrait, the largest circle is 1080 pixels across, so you get a 1080 × 1080 PNG. Adding a 5% ring puts 54 pixels on each side (5% of 1080), making it 1188 × 1188.
Tips
- Centre the face and leave a little space around the head, so the circle doesn't cut off hair or ears.
- For a website or email signature, use the Resize tab to save a smaller copy, and keep PNG for the transparent corners.
- To add text or adjust colours as well, use the Photo editor and choose the Circle shape.
- Need a square crop or another shape? Use Crop image.
