Your files stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
A circle crop masks your image to a round shape and makes the four corners transparent. Because transparency only survives in a format that supports it, the result is saved as a PNG — a JPG would fill those corners with a solid color instead.
Where a circle crop is used
- Round profile pictures and avatars (Discord, forums, team pages).
- Circular logos and badges.
- Dropping a round photo cleanly onto a design or slide, with no square edge showing.
Why it has to be a PNG
The whole point of a circle crop is that the corners disappear. Only formats with an alpha channel — PNG and WebP — can store "nothing" there. Save it as JPG and the transparency is lost, so the tool gives you a PNG that drops straight onto any background.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the circle crop keep transparency?
- Yes. The corners outside the circle become fully transparent, and the file is saved as a PNG so that transparency is preserved.
- Can I use it as a profile picture?
- Yes. A circular PNG sits perfectly inside round avatar frames, with no square corners poking out behind it.
- Why is my circle crop a PNG and not a JPG?
- JPG can't store transparency, so its corners would be filled with a color. PNG keeps them clear, which is the point of a circle crop.
