Making a round picture
- Open the picture — the circle frame is already on, locked to a perfect circle.
- Drag it over the face or object and resize from any corner.
- Crop and download. PNG keeps the outside transparent.
Transparent or white background
A transparent outside (PNG or WebP) lets the circle sit on any background — slides, documents, websites. JPG cannot be transparent, so choosing it fills the outside with white or a colour you pick, and the export panel tells you so before you download. For a square version for upload sites, use square crop instead.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the saved picture still a square file?
All image files are rectangles. The circle comes from making everything outside it transparent (PNG, WebP, AVIF) or a solid colour (JPG).
Should I use a circle crop for my profile picture?
Usually not needed — most platforms turn a square upload into a circle themselves. Circle crops are for when you need the round shape in your own designs, slides or documents.
Can I make an oval?
Yes — pick Ellipse under Shape. It follows whichever ratio you choose.
