About Circle Cropper

A rectangular crop doesn't work for profile pictures, avatars, badges, or round stickers — you need the actual pixels outside the circle to disappear, not just look rounded via CSS. This tool cuts a real circular hole in the image, so the circle stays circular no matter where you paste it.

How the Circle Cropper works

VIPToolkit's Circle Cropper runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Upload any JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF image, position the fixed 1:1 circular selection over the part you want to keep, and export as PNG, WebP, or AVIF to keep the corners transparent — or as JPG with a background color of your choice, since JPG has no transparency support. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Common uses for circle cropping

Common use cases: cropping a profile photo or avatar into a circle before uploading it, preparing a circular logo badge, and making a round sticker or icon graphic. Need a square or custom rectangular crop instead? Use the Image Cropper. Want to remove the background entirely rather than just crop it circular? Try the Background Remover.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a real cutout, not a visual trick with rounded CSS corners. Exporting as PNG, WebP, or AVIF makes the pixels outside the circle fully transparent, so the circle stays circular anywhere you place the image. Exporting as JPG fills those same pixels with a background color instead, since JPG has no transparency support.

Yes — unlike the format-specific cropper pages, this tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF uploads, and you can export to any of those four formats too. PNG, WebP, and AVIF keep the corners outside the circle transparent; JPG fills them with a background color you choose, since JPG has no alpha channel.

Yes. JPG has no alpha channel, so it can't leave the corners around the circle transparent — instead, they're filled with a solid background color you pick (a color swatch or the custom color picker). If you need the corners to stay see-through, export as PNG, WebP, or AVIF instead.

Used this for a round sticker for a product and WebP export kept the transparency and the file was tiny. Bookmarked it for next time.

Cropped a profile picture for Zoom — much faster than trying to fake a circle crop with CSS. Would recommend to a friend.

Used this for an Instagram profile photo and much faster than trying to fake a circle crop with CSS. Exactly what I needed.

Cropped a round profile photo for a company directory — the fixed 1:1 selection made it impossible to get an oval by accident. Would recommend to a friend.

Cropped a profile photo for a Telegram sticker — didn't need Photoshop for something this simple. Worked great.
