Circular Crop Tool — Crop a Circle in an Image Online

A free tool to crop a circle in an image online: just drop your image and adjust the circle cropper to fit the spot you want. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded, and you download a clean transparent PNG with the corners cut away.

ThumbCrafted's circle crop tool turns any photo into a round image with a transparent background, right in your browser. Position the circular selection over the part of the picture you want to keep, resize it, and download a clean PNG — no software, no signup, and no uploading your photo to a server.

Circular crops are everywhere: profile pictures, avatars, channel icons, team headshots, app icons, and round logo badges. Because the download is a transparent PNG, the round image sits cleanly on any background color or design without a white box around it.

Switch between a perfect circle, a free oval, or a rounded rectangle with an adjustable corner radius, add a colored border ring, optionally fill the shape with a solid background color, and export at your original resolution or a fixed 256 / 512 / 1024 px size for avatars and app icons.

Frequently asked

Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The crop happens entirely in your browser with an HTML canvas — your image never leaves your device.
How do I crop an image into a circle?
Upload an image, drag the circular selection to position it and drag a corner to resize, then click Download. You get a PNG with the area outside the circle transparent.
Is the background transparent?
Yes — the corners outside the circle are fully transparent, so the round image drops cleanly onto any background. You can optionally fill the circle with a solid color instead.
Is there a free circular crop tool online?
Yes — this is a free circular crop tool that runs in your browser. Drop your image, adjust the circle cropper to the spot you want, and download a transparent PNG. No signup, no watermark, and nothing is uploaded.
Can I crop an oval or rounded rectangle instead of a circle?
Yes. Switch the shape to Oval for a free ellipse, or Rounded for a rounded rectangle with an adjustable corner radius (great for app icons and cards). Circle locks the selection to a perfect round.
Can I add a border ring?
Yes. Turn on Border and pick a color and thickness to add a ring around the circular crop — great for profile pictures and avatars.
What formats can I upload?
JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 15MB. The download is always a transparent PNG.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Drag to move the circle and drag the corner handles to resize with touch.
