The short version

Drop in a photo, drag to frame it inside a circle, and download a transparent PNG back. It runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded, there's no account, and nothing you download carries a watermark. Try it now, right here.

What just happened

A circle, cut cleanly

Whatever you dropped into the tool above just went through three steps: cropped to a square, resized in careful steps, then masked to a circle so every pixel outside it is transparent.

  • Drag and zoom to frame the part of the photo you want kept
  • Pick a small, medium or large export
  • A stepped, high-quality downscale, so a small export doesn't turn to mush
  • Full transparency outside the circle, on every size
Before you download

Where a circle crop shows up

Most places that show your picture as a circle still ask you to upload a square file and crop it for you. Doing the crop yourself means you control what actually gets kept.

This page exports one clean transparent circle at the size you pick. If you need a Discord-specific size or shape too, the Discord resizer covers emoji, avatar, server icon and banner in one tool.

Why it's safe to use on a photo nobody's seen yet

There's no server call anywhere in this. Everything, the crop, the resize, the export, happens in a canvas element your browser already has.

That's not a privacy policy, it's the architecture. This page never sends your file anywhere, so there's nothing to promise not to keep. Close the tab and it's gone, same as if you'd never opened it.

  • Canvas-only cropping, no upload, no server round trip
  • PNG in, PNG out, transparency untouched the whole way
  • No sign-up, and no cap on how many photos or how many times
  • No watermark, ever, on anything you download
Straight answers

Questions people actually ask

Yes. Everything outside the circle is fully transparent, not filled with white or any other colour. Open the PNG on a colored background and you'll see the circle sitting on top of it cleanly.

Want a whole character?

This tool fixes the shape of a photo you already have. On Air Kit makes the art too: describe your character or attach a photo, pick a look, and get a matching set back already cut out and sized for Twitch and Discord.
