About this tool
The cropper centers the largest possible circle inside your source image and exports transparent corners, making it useful for profile pictures, team directories, contact cards, and design assets.
Landscape and portrait images are center-cropped to a square based on their shortest edge before the circle is applied.
The exported canvas is not artificially enlarged. Its diameter equals the shortest original image dimension, protecting detail from unnecessary resampling.
Frequently asked questions
Why is PNG used for the download?
PNG supports transparency, allowing the area outside the circular crop to remain clear instead of becoming a solid rectangle.
Which part of the photo is cropped?
The tool takes the largest centered square that fits inside the image, then applies a circular mask.
Does the photo leave my device?
No. Cropping and PNG creation happen locally in your browser.
