How to crop a circle image
- Choose your photo. Click “Select photos”, drag it onto the box or paste it with Ctrl+V. You can choose several photos.
- Place it in the circle. Drag the photo to move it. Zoom with the slider, the mouse wheel or by pinching on your phone. Use the arrow keys for tiny moves.
- Straighten and flip. Rotate in small steps to make a tilted photo straight, or mirror it.
- Style it (optional). Add a solid, gradient or Instagram-style story ring, a colour behind the photo and a soft shadow.
- Download. Choose the size and PNG for a transparent background, then click Download. Or copy it straight into WhatsApp or Word.

Frequently asked questions
How do I crop a picture in a circle?
Choose your photo, drag it to move it inside the circle and use the zoom slider or your mouse wheel (pinch on a phone) to make it bigger or smaller. Then click Download. The corners outside the circle are transparent in PNG.
Will the background outside the circle be transparent?
Yes, when you download as PNG or WebP. If you choose JPG, the corners become white or the colour you pick under “Outside the shape”, because JPG cannot be transparent.
Can I crop more than one photo at once?
Yes. Select several photos together. Each one gets its own position, and the same shape and border are used for all. Click “Download all (ZIP)” to save them in one go.
Which shapes can I use?
Circle, oval, rounded square, square, hexagon, heart, star, diamond and octagon. For an oval, choose the circle and the 4:5 or 3:4 proportions.
Does it reduce the quality?
No. With “Best quality” the result uses all the pixels of your photo inside the circle, up to 4096 × 4096 pixels.
