Crop an image into a circle
Cut a round section out of any picture — transparent corners, exported as PNG, done entirely in your browser.
Crop a picture into a circle
A round crop is what a profile picture usually needs. Most platforms mask the image themselves, but the moment it appears somewhere that does not — a slide, a signature, a website of your own — a square photo suddenly has corners again. Cutting the circle into the file solves that once.
Drag the selection over the part you want and the frame stays square, because a circle can only come out of a square. The preview shows the round shape, so you can see what will survive before you export.
The result is always a PNG. That is not a preference but a necessity: only PNG stores transparency, and without it the corners would come out black or white instead of empty. If the picture then goes somewhere that needs a JPG, the round shape is lost again — a JPG simply cannot hold it.
For a profile picture, leave a little air around the head; platforms often crop a few more pixels off the edge. Everything runs in your browser, so a photo of yourself is cut on your own device and never sent anywhere.

Because the corners have to be transparent, and only PNG can store that. A JPG would fill them with black or white.

Most platforms display it small; 400 to 800 pixels across is plenty. Leave a little space around the head, some services crop a few more pixels.
Yes, with JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF. The file is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
Yes — switch the circle option off, or use the regular crop tool with its ratio presets.
