  1. 1

    Choose Circle or Square, pick your output size, and optionally toggle on a colored border with your own color and thickness — the live preview updates instantly as you adjust each setting.

  3. 3

    Crop Image

    Drag and resize the crop box over your image, then click the red "CROP AVATAR" button. Your shaped, bordered avatar appears on the right.

  4. 4

    Download

    Click "DOWNLOAD IMAGE" to save your avatar as a transparent PNG, ready to use anywhere.

What we do

Avatar crop is a free, browser-based tool for creating profile pictures and avatars for social media, Discord, forums, and anywhere else you need one. Crop your photo into a circle or square, add an optional colored ring around the edge, and export it as a transparent PNG at the exact size you need. It supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP images, and because everything runs locally in your browser, cropping is fast, private, and never consumes any upload bandwidth.

Circle or Square Shape

Switch between a round or square avatar with one click - the live preview updates instantly either way.

Custom Colored Border

Add a colored ring around your avatar - pick a preset color or any custom shade, and set its thickness with a slider.

Avatar Size Presets

Export at 128, 256, or 512 pixels, or keep your photo's original resolution - switch anytime, even after cropping.

Transparent PNG Output

Everything outside the shape (and border ring, if enabled) is automatically transparent, so your avatar drops cleanly onto any background.

100% Free to Use

Every feature is free, with no hidden fees, sign-ups, or watermarks. Create as many avatars as you like.

Complete Data Security

All processing happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to, stored on, or seen by any server.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a round profile picture?

Click "UPLOAD IMAGE" to choose a photo (or "Use demo image" to try it instantly), make sure "Circle" is selected, drag and resize the crop box, then click "CROP AVATAR". Your round profile picture appears on the right, ready to download.

Can I add a colored border to my avatar?

Yes. Toggle on "Add colored border", pick one of the preset colors or use the color picker for any custom color, then drag the thickness slider — the live preview updates instantly, both before and after you crop.

What sizes are available?

128×128, 256×256, 512×512, or your photo's original resolution — pick any of them from the size dropdown, even after cropping, and the preview updates immediately.

Is the background transparent?

Yes. Everything outside the circle or square — and outside the colored border ring, if you add one — is transparent, so your avatar drops cleanly onto any background or theme color.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser and works on any modern mobile browser — you can upload a photo from your phone's gallery and crop it with touch gestures.
