Crop image in a circle for a profile picture
Choose Circle and the frame turns round. Place your face in the middle and zoom until it fills the circle nicely. The download is a PNG where the corners outside the circle are see-through, so it sits cleanly on any background in a slide, a website or a design. WhatsApp, Instagram and most apps cut profile photos into a circle themselves, so for those a square crop with your face centred works just as well.
Full quality, and how to get an exact size
The crop is saved at your photo's own resolution, so no pixels are thrown away apart from the parts you cut off. That also means the size in pixels depends on how far you zoom: the more you zoom, the fewer pixels are left. For a sharp result, zoom only as much as you need.
If a form wants an exact pixel size, crop here first to get the right shape, then set the width and height in Resize image. If it also has a KB limit, finish with Photo to KB. For passport and ID photos, use the passport photo tool instead, which has the face guide and official sizes built in.
PNG photos stay PNG. Other photos are saved as high-quality JPG.
Everyday crop jobs, done privately
Your photo is opened and cropped in your browser. It is never uploaded, so you can crop a screenshot of a bank message or a photo of a document without it leaving your phone.
- Cut a group photo down to one face for a profile picture or a staff ID.
- Trim the table, fingers and background around a photo of a certificate or a CNIC, so only the document shows before you upload it to a form.
- Remove a private part of a screenshot, such as a phone number or a balance, before sharing it in a group.
- Make every product photo in your online shop the same square shape, so the grid of products looks neat.
- Turn a tall phone photo into a wide 16:9 picture for a slide or a video cover, keeping just the important part.
If the photo is sideways, turn it upright with Rotate image first; the crop frame works best when the picture already faces the right way.
