Tips for Best Results

Centre Your Subject

Place the main subject (face, logo, etc.) at the centre of the circle for the best visual balance.

Use High-Resolution Images

Start with the largest image available. Cropping reduces dimensions, so higher resolution means better results.

Mind the Aspect Ratio

Very wide or very tall images leave more area outside the circle. Square-ish images work best.

Adjust for Optimal Framing

Use the resize handles to tighten or loosen the crop. A little breathing room around the subject looks natural.

Choose PNG for Transparency

Download as PNG to keep the area outside the circle transparent — ideal for overlaying on coloured backgrounds.

Create Consistent Sets

For team pages or testimonial grids, crop all photos at the same size for a polished, uniform look.
