How to Round Photo Corners in 3 Easy Steps
Upload your photo
Select any picture from your device — works with JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats.
Adjust the corner radius
Move the corner radius slider. A higher value makes larger curves.
Preview, then download
Preview against light or dark backdrops, then download your high-resolution PNG instantly.
Rounded corners replace sharp corners with curves. Use them for photo cards, slides, or website images. The corner radius controls how large each curve is.
Choose a shape that fits your design
Use a small curve for a photo card. Use a larger curve for a softer shape. Check the result at the size people will see.

There's no single correct radius — it depends on what the image is for and how large it will be displayed. As a general guide:
| Radius | Effect | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| Small (5–15%) | Subtle soften, corners barely visible | Product photos, screenshots, thumbnails |
| Medium (20–35%) | Clearly rounded, still a rectangle | Cards, website images, app banners |
| Large (40–49%) | Strongly curved, near-oval on rectangles | Feature images, highlighted content |
| Maximum (50%) | Full circle on a square photo, full pill on a rectangle | Profile pictures, avatars, icons |
If you're rounding a photo for a profile picture specifically, set the radius to maximum on a square image — that produces the same full circle that WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, Discord, and most other platforms already apply automatically to their profile photos, so you can preview and adjust it yourself before uploading rather than leaving it to the platform's own crop.
Profile pictures are the most common reason people reach for a maximum-radius circle, but a smaller radius shows up constantly in places that are easy to miss:
App icons on phone home screens
App icons use a consistent, moderate radius that matches the operating system's overall icon shape.
Product photos on shopping sites
Product photos often carry a small radius so thumbnails feel like part of a cohesive grid rather than a stack of sharp-edged rectangles.
Website cards and feature boxes
The boxes that hold a blog thumbnail, a team member's photo, or a feature image commonly use a medium radius to match the rounded corners of the card itself, so the photo doesn't look like it's fighting the container around it.
Presentation slides and graphics
Presentation slides benefit from a small-to-medium radius on photos, which tends to look calmer and more polished on screen than a sharp rectangle.
Matching the radius to where the image will actually appear is more important than picking a number that simply "looks nice" in isolation — an 8px radius that looks barely-there on a large banner can look identical to a much larger radius once the same image is shrunk down to a 40px thumbnail.

Tip: For WhatsApp, 80–95% quality gives the best balance. WhatsApp re-compresses images anyway, so ultra-high quality (100%) may not be noticeable.

Square Photo vs. Rectangular Photo: What Changes
Square Photo
A square photo rounded to maximum radius becomes a perfect circle — this is the standard look for a profile picture or avatar.
Rectangular Photo
A rectangular photo rounded to maximum radius becomes a pill shape, with fully curved short edges and straighter long edges, rather than a circle. This is common for banner-style graphics, not profile pictures.
Rounded Corners vs. Circle Frame — Which One Do You Need?
Rounded corners change the edges of a square or rectangle. A circle frame adds a ring around a round photo. Choose the tool that matches your design.
Applying a large radius to a rectangular photo expecting a circle, when what actually results is a pill shape — crop to square first if a circle is the goal.
Exporting as JPG when transparency is needed — JPG doesn't support transparent areas, so the rounded corners will fill with a solid color (often white or black) instead of showing whatever background you place the image on.
Choosing a radius that looks right at full size but disappears or looks inconsistent once the image is displayed much smaller, such as in a chat thumbnail or app icon grid.
Rounding a photo that still has a visible straight edge or border baked into the original image — the rounding clips the photo's shape, but it won't remove a rectangular border that was part of the photo itself.
