Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Circle cropping runs entirely in your browser, so your images never leave your device.

Why is the output a PNG?

A circle needs transparent corners, and PNG supports transparency. JPG can't store transparency, so it would fill the corners with a solid color instead.

Will the corners be transparent?

Yes. Everything outside the circle is made transparent, so the round avatar sits cleanly on any background.

Which image formats can I use as input?

You can start from JPG, PNG, or WebP images. The result is always exported as a PNG to keep the transparent corners.

Is the crop a perfect circle?

Yes. The mask is a true circle, so your avatar looks correct in apps that display round profile pictures.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS — no app required.

Yes. There are no watermarks, sign-ups, or file-size paywalls beyond what your device can handle.
