Why is the download a PNG?

PNG supports transparency, so the area outside the circle stays see-through and the avatar works on any background.

Can I crop off-centre?

Yes. Use the horizontal or vertical framing slider to move the crop toward an off-centre subject before downloading.

What output size should I choose?

Use 256 or 512 pixels for most profile pictures, 1024 pixels for high-resolution accounts, and 2048 pixels only when you need a large master file. Enlarging a small source can look soft.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Cropping happens locally in your browser.

About the Circle Crop Image

Round profile pictures look clean, but most editors make cropping to a perfect circle awkward. This tool does it in one step.

Move the framing toward an off-centre subject, choose a 256, 512, 1024 or 2048 pixel output, and add an optional coloured border. The transparent PNG sits neatly on any background.

The crop is done in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.
