Round Image Corners

Give an image rounded corners or a circle shape.

Your files never leave your device.

When to use it

Round Image Corners gives pictures soft rounded corners or turns them into circles. Use it for profile pictures and team photos in a circle, rounded product shots and screenshots for a website or presentation, app-icon style graphics, and photos in email signatures, where rounding with code often doesn’t work.

How to round image corners

  1. Tap Choose image, or drag a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file onto the box.
  2. Choose a Shape: Rounded or Circle.
  3. For Rounded, set the Corner size (for example 12%).
  4. Choose Save as. PNG keeps the corners transparent; JPG fills them with white.
  5. Press Download image.

A worked example

You’re adding headshots to an “About us” slide and want them to look consistent. For each photo, crop it to a square with the face centred, then open it here and choose Circle. Save as PNG so the corners are transparent over the slide’s coloured background. All five headshots now appear as matching circles, without white boxes around them.

Tips

  • Check what’s in the centre before choosing Circle: wide or tall images are trimmed to a centred square, so crop first if the subject is off to one side.
  • Use PNG for transparent corners on coloured backgrounds, websites and slides.
  • Use JPG with white corners when the image will sit on a white page anyway; files are smaller.
  • Keep corner sizes consistent across a set of images for a polished look.
  • Leave space around faces when making circles, so heads aren’t clipped.

How the shapes are made

Rounded keeps the whole picture and trims each corner along a curve. Circle keeps the largest centred square and cuts a circle from it, so the output is always square, with transparent (or white) corners outside the circle.

Where rounded images work well

  • Profile and team photos as circles.
  • Product cards and thumbnails with a small radius.
  • Screenshots in tutorials, which look tidier with 2 to 4% corners.
  • Email signatures, where rounded photos look more personal.

Common mistakes

  • Saving as JPG on a coloured background, leaving visible white corners.
  • Making a circle from a wide group photo, which keeps only the middle.
  • Very large corner sizes on wide images, which can look like a pill shape.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the corners turn white in my JPG?

JPG can't store transparency, so the cut-away corners are filled with white. Save as PNG (or WebP) to keep them transparent, so the image looks rounded on any background.

How do I make a circular profile picture?

Choose Circle. The tool takes a square from the centre of the image and makes it round. If the face isn't in the middle, crop to a square around it first with Crop Image.

What does Corner size mean?

It's the corner radius as a percentage of the image's shorter side, from 1 to 50%. 5 to 10% gives a subtle, modern look, around 20% looks like an app icon, and 50% turns a wide image into a pill shape.

Do websites need rounded images?

Many sites round images with code, but some places, like email signatures, documents and slides, need the rounding in the image itself.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The corners are cut in your browser.
