About Circle Crop

Circle Crop cuts photos into a circle or ellipse for profile pictures and avatars. Users searching "circle crop", "round profile picture", "crop photo to circle", or "avatar crop" need a centred headshot that fits circular UI frames on apps and websites.

Upload an image, adjust the circular selection with move/zoom/rotate controls, and download. Transparent corners help the avatar sit cleanly on coloured backgrounds.

Start with a reasonably high-resolution face photo. Soft or distant faces look worse when forced into a small circle.

Frequently asked questions

Does every app accept transparent circle PNGs?

Most do for avatars; some require JPG with a solid background.

Why is my face cut off?

Zoom out or reposition the crop circle.

Square vs circle?

Apps often display square files as circles - cropping to a circle still helps composition.

Can I crop to a rounded rectangle?

Use Round Corners for rectangular soft edges.

Best input size?

A sharp photo larger than the target avatar size.
