How does the circle crop work?

Choose Circle and PixKit crops your photo to a centered square, then clips it to a perfect circle; choose Rounded to clip just the corners. The Border slider insets the shape up to 40% for a margin in your chosen background color — or keep it transparent and export as PNG or WebP.

A private image toolkit, not just a watermark remover

Clean the Gemini sparkle, then finish the job — crop, resize, convert and adjust without uploading a single pixel.

Lossless watermark removal

Reverse-alpha math restores the true pixels under the Gemini logo — no blur, no AI guesswork.

Crop & resize

Crop to any aspect ratio with draggable handles, then resize to exact pixels or quick scales.

Convert & compress

Export to PNG, JPG or WebP with a quality slider and a live file-size estimate.

100% private

Every tool runs locally with undo/redo. Nothing is uploaded — it even works offline.

Circle-crop a photo in 3 steps

Pick a shape, set the border, export with transparency.

Choose the shape

Open the Circle Crop tool and pick Circle for a round cutout or Rounded for softly clipped corners.

Set the border and background

Drag the Border slider (0–40%) to inset the shape, and choose what fills the outside: transparent, a color swatch, or any custom color — a colored border makes an instant avatar ring.

Apply and export

Click Apply, then download as PNG or WebP to keep the transparent corners. JPG would fill them with a solid color.

What people round images for

Profile pictures

Preview and produce the exact circular avatar that social platforms and apps will display — no surprise crops.

Team pages

Give every headshot the same circle treatment and border color so the about-page grid looks uniform.

App icons and logos

Round a square mark's corners for a modern icon look, or circle-crop it for badge placements.

Chat and community avatars

Check how a photo reads inside the round frame used by Discord, Slack and most messengers before uploading it.

Website graphics

Rounded-corner product shots and cards drop into modern layouts without CSS masking tricks.

Stickers and badges

A circle crop with a bold colored ring makes a quick sticker, seal or achievement badge.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about cropping images into circles and rounded shapes.

Does the circle crop send my photo anywhere?+
No. PixKit is 100% local — the crop happens on a canvas in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone, and the tool works offline.
Which format keeps the transparent corners?+
Save as PNG or WebP to preserve transparency outside the circle or rounded shape. JPEG has no transparency, so it would fill the corners with a solid color.
How does the circle crop handle rectangular photos?+
For a circle, the tool first crops to a centered square based on the shorter side, then clips that square to a circle. This guarantees a perfectly round result even from rectangular photos.
What does the Border slider do?+
It insets the shape by 0–40%, leaving a margin around it. With a transparent background that's breathing room; with a color selected it becomes a solid ring or frame in that color.
How round are the corners in Rounded mode?+
Rounded mode uses a fixed, tuned radius of roughly a quarter of the image's shorter side — chosen so corners look softly rounded (not pill-shaped) at any image size. For a full circle, use Circle mode instead.
Can I put a color behind the circle instead of transparency?+
Yes. Pick one of the BG swatches — white, ink, green, blue, pink or amber — or open the custom color picker. The area outside the shape, including the Border inset, fills with that color.
Do I need an account to round an image?+
No. Open the page, drop in an image, crop, and download with no sign-up, usage credits, or added watermark. A 50-megapixel safety limit protects browser memory.

Round and circle-crop images with zero uploads

PixKit Circle Crop lets you cut any image into a perfect circle or a soft rounded square without installing software or sending a single byte to a server. Everything runs locally inside your browser, so your photos never leave your device.

Circle crops for avatars and profile pictures

Choose the Circle shape and PixKit first crops your image to a centered square, then clips it to a clean circle. The area outside the circle becomes transparent, so the result drops straight into a profile, badge or app icon without an awkward background box.

Rounded corners and the Border slider

Pick the Rounded shape to keep the full rectangle and clip only the corners, using a tuned radius (about a quarter of the shorter side) that always looks balanced. The Border slider (0–40%) then insets the shape inside the frame — in Circle mode it shrinks the circle to leave a margin, and in Rounded mode it adds padding all around, from a hairline gap to a bold ring.

Transparent — or any background color

By default everything outside the shape stays transparent, ready for a PNG or WebP export. Or pick a background from the swatches — white, ink, green, blue, pink, amber — or any custom color from the picker, and the margin and corners fill with it instead. That turns the Border inset into a colored ring around a circular avatar, no extra editor required.
