How to Crop an Image Into a Circle (Free, No Software)

How to Crop an Image Into a Circle You need a circular profile picture, a round avatar for your team page, or a circle-shaped graphic for a presentation. Most image editors make this surprisingly annoying — you dig through shape tools, layer masks, and export settings just to get a round image with a transparent background. Pixotter's circle crop tool does it in your browser. Drop an image, get a circle. No software to install, no account to create, no files uploaded to any server. Why Crop Images Into Circles? Circular images show up everywhere: Profile pictures — LinkedIn, Slack, GitHub, Discord, and most social platforms display avatars as circles. Uploading a pre-cropped circle ensures your subject is centered and nothing important gets cut off by the platform's auto-crop. Team pages — Company websites almost always show team headshots in circles. Pre-cropping gives you control over framing instead of relying on CSS border-radius to guess the right center point.
