Sound familiar?

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

🟥

Every upload gets auto-cropped

Most platforms show avatars in a round frame and crop whatever you upload — often cutting off exactly the part you wanted to keep.

😤

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 — a square photo versus the same photo cropped into a perfect circle with a transparent PNG background.

Drag, adjust, done

Three steps to a round profile picture. No signup required. No image editor. Just circles.

1

Drop in your photo

Upload, paste, or drag any image into the cropper — JPG, PNG, WEBP, and other common image formats. A circular frame appears over it instantly.

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 round image is ready to use — no background, no editing needed.

Two modes, one extension

A circle image cropper and circular screenshot tool in one. Crop uploaded photos into circles. Capture circles from live webpages. Both in Chrome, both private.
