Can I crop an image into a circle with a transparent background?

Yes. Choose the Circle shape and the tool outputs a PNG with transparent corners ready for profile pictures or logos.

Why did my cropped PNG get a white or black background?

This happens when a transparent image is saved as JPG, which cannot store transparency. Make sure you download as PNG.

Does cropping a PNG reduce its quality?

No. The crop is cut from the original pixels at full resolution, and only the area outside the frame is removed.

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): To crop a PNG without losing its transparent background, download the cropped result in PNG format rather than JPG. JPG does not support transparency and fills empty areas with a solid color. You can use the free tool on this page to drag the frame or choose a circle shape and save directly as a transparent PNG in your browser.
