Why a circle crop needs a transparent background
A circular photo saved as JPG comes with white corners that ruin the round look on colored backgrounds. The fix is to export as PNG, which keeps the corners transparent.
Our circle crop centers on the largest square in your image, masks it into a circle, and exports a clean transparent PNG automatically.
Where circular images are used
Profile pictures, team headshots, app avatars, round logos, and badge-style graphics for social media all rely on circular crops.
For best results, start with a roughly square photo where the subject is centered, so nothing important gets cut at the edges of the circle.
