How to Make a Round Profile Picture With a Transparent Background

Round profile pictures look clean on websites, email signatures, resumes and presentations. Many platforms crop images to circles automatically, but when you need the round version yourself, you need a PNG with a transparent background.

Why PNG?

JPG cannot store transparency, so the corners would turn white or black. PNG keeps them transparent, so the circle sits neatly on any background colour.

Where to use round images

• Team pages on company websites.
• Email signatures.
• Resumes and portfolio sites.
• Presentation slides introducing speakers.
• Logos with rounded corners for app-style icons.

Tips for great results

• Start with a square photo where your face is centred. Use Crop Image with the 1:1 ratio first.
• Leave some space above the head so it is not cut off.
• Resize to the final size with Resize Image to keep files light.
