Circle Crop

Perfectly crop your photos into circular avatars and profile pictures with precision.

Circle crop workspace

Free · private · in-browser

Circular profile crops with a pro 1024×768 stage

Letterboxed photos, a draggable circle with Image Crop–style indigo handles, and a green Save that exports a transparent PNG—everything stays in your browser until you download.

Default radius starts at 160px on the workspace so avatars feel social-ready; drag the ring or corners of the bounding square to reframe. Toggle Show Original to check the full frame, then Save for a crisp round cutout.

How to use Circle Crop

Load a photo

Upload from your device or tap a sample thumbnail in the sidebar to populate the canvas instantly.

Drag & resize the circle

Move the disc to frame your face or logo; pull any corner handle to grow or shrink while staying round.

Save

Use Show Edited to confirm the mask, then tap the green Save button to download your circular PNG.

Supported file formats

Load JPG, PNG, or WebP in the workspace. Export is always PNG with alpha outside the circle.

  • PNG
  • JPEG / JPG
  • WebP

Key features

Fixed canvas, circular mask, corner handles, compare, transparent PNG export, sidebar samples.

  • 1024×768 workspace

    Same white stage pattern as Image Crop so framing feels familiar and predictable.

  • True circle + square handles

    The selection is always a perfect circle; corners adjust the circumscribed square like our rectangle crop tool.

  • 160px default radius

    A generous starting disc centers on load and scales down automatically on very small sources.

  • Show Original / Show Edited

    Hide the mask to judge the untouched photo, then return to the overlay to fine-tune.

  • Transparent PNG

    Pixels outside the circle are fully transparent—ideal for layered designs and strict profile masks.

  • Private processing

    Decoding and export run locally; OneFrameLab does not receive your image for this workflow.

Common use cases

  • Social avatars

    Export a round PNG for platforms that mask uploads as circles so edges stay clean.

  • Team directories

    Match headshot crops across a org chart without opening desktop design tools.

  • App & UI mocks

    Drop transparent circular portraits into prototypes where components expect round assets.

  • Messengers & forums

    Preview the visible disc before you upload so important detail is not clipped by the host’s mask.

Pro tips

  • Many networks recommend 400×400 or larger square sources; export here at full resolution, then let the platform downscale.
  • Toggle Show Original before Save to ensure ears, shoulders, or logos are not clipped by the circle edge.
  • If the default 160px radius feels tight on wide landscapes, zoom the selection with a corner handle before moving the center.
  • PNG exports preserve transparency—place them on any background in Figma, Canva, or your site without re-masking.
