Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the image position in the circle?
Drag the image to reposition it within the circular frame. You can move it up, down, left, or right and watch the live preview to get the desired composition.
Can I make the image bigger or smaller within the circle?
Yes. Use the zoom slider or +/- buttons to resize your image during the cropping process. Start from 1x zoom for maximum flexibility.

You can upload JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF files. Cropped results are downloaded as PNG files with a transparent background. Note: the page lists a max upload size of 20MB while an FAQ entry references 10MB.
Will my cropped image have a transparent background?
Yes. All circle crop results are saved as PNG files with a transparent background automatically applied.
Why does my image look blurry after cropping?
If the original image is small or low resolution, zooming in too much can cause blur. Use a high-resolution source image and avoid excessive zooming for best results.
Does this work on mobile phones?
Yes. The tool works on smartphones and tablets with touch support; use pinch gestures or the zoom controls and download directly from your mobile browser.
Is there a limit on how many images I can crop?

Do I need to sign up or create an account?
No. You can use the tool immediately without registration or providing personal information.
Can I undo changes while editing my circle crop?
There isn't a traditional undo button, but you can readjust position and zoom at any time before downloading or clear the image and start over.
