About Round Image
Round Image crops a picture into a circle, keeping the middle and cutting away the corners. The result is saved as a PNG with a transparent background, so the area outside the circle is see-through rather than filled with white. It is the usual way to make a round profile picture or avatar that sits neatly on any background.
The tool works entirely in your browser, using the built-in canvas to crop the image on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, there is no account or sign-up, and there are no limits or watermarks. It is free, and it does the one thing.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Round Image free, and is there an account?
- Yes, it is free and there is no account or sign-up. There are no usage limits and no watermark, so you can round as many images as you like.
- Is my image uploaded to a server?
- No. The crop happens in your browser using the canvas, so the picture stays on your own device and is never uploaded. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
- How do I use it, and what do I get back?
- Open your image and the tool crops it to a circle. You get back a PNG with a transparent background, which you can save and use as a round profile picture or avatar.
- What happens if my image is not square?
- If the picture is not square, the circle is taken from the centre, so it helps to start with a roughly square image or crop it first. Anything outside the circle becomes transparent.
- Why is the file a PNG and not a JPG?
- The output is a transparent PNG, because JPG cannot hold transparency. If you later save or convert it to JPG, the transparent corners will fill with a solid colour, usually white.
