Sound familiar?

You just need a round image. Why is this so hard?

🟥

Screenshots are always rectangles

You need a circle for a profile picture, an avatar, a slide — but every screenshot tool and snipping tool gives you a rectangle.

😤

Five minutes in Photoshop for one circle

Open the app, figure out the circular crop, get it to save without a background. All for one round image you needed in three seconds.

🌐

Uploading to some random website

Find a circle crop site, upload your image to a stranger's server, wait, download. Every time you need a circle.

Before and after — rectangle screenshot of a LinkedIn profile versus a perfect circle crop with transparent PNG background. No more rectangles.

Drag, adjust, done

Three steps to a round screenshot. No account needed. No image editor. Just circles.

1

Drag to draw your circle

Right-click any page, select "Capture a circle screenshot," and drag. Your circle appears instantly — everything outside it dims so you see exactly what you're getting.

2

Adjust until it looks right

Move your circle, resize the edges, take your time. No rush, no starting over — just adjust until it's exactly what you want.

3

Download or copy

Save as a transparent PNG or copy straight to your clipboard. Your circular screenshot is ready to use — no background, no editing needed.

Two modes, one tool
