About Circle Crop Image
Many sites show profile pictures in a circle, so it helps to choose what stays in the circle before you use it. This tool crops your picture to a perfect circle, with zoom and position controls so you can centre a face or an object. The corners outside the circle are left clear, so the picture works on any coloured background when saved as PNG.
You choose the size of the finished picture, which is a square from 16 up to 4096 pixels, and you can add a ring around the edge in any colour. Drag the picture inside the circle to move it, or use the sliders for fine control.

Frequently asked questions
What size should a profile picture be?
Most sites are happy with 400 to 1000 pixels square. 512 is a good starting point, and larger sizes give a sharper result on high resolution screens.
Why are the corners white or black in my result?
That happens if you save as JPG, which cannot store see-through areas. Save as PNG or WebP to keep the corners clear.
How do I centre a face?
Zoom in a little, then drag the picture on the preview until the face sits in the middle. The sliders move the picture left, right, up and down in smaller steps.
Can I make an oval instead of a circle?
This tool makes circles. The crop is always square so the result is round and not stretched.
Does zooming lose quality?
Zooming uses a smaller part of your picture and scales it to the output size. If you zoom a lot on a small picture the result can look soft, so start with the largest picture you have.
