Why choose Fogkits

Why circle-crop avatars in your browser

Round profile pictures without a cloud hop — same CreateVision chrome as Crop and Rotate.

On-device circle crop for avatars

Nothing uploaded

Circle crop and encode stay in the tab. Private headshots never leave this device for this tool.

Draggable circle crop frame

Drag to reposition

Move the circle over the face — not stuck on center. Resize with handles; zoom/pan when framing is tight.

Original versus circle result preview

Live Original / Result

Adjust on Original, then switch to Result to confirm the round export before you download.

Transparent PNG circle export

Transparent PNG default

Real transparent corners for profiles and mockups. Optional JPG/WebP with white, black, or custom fill.

Batch circle crop metaphor

Batch + ZIP download

Circle-crop up to 20 images with one recipe, download selected, or Download all as a ZIP when zipArchive is available.

Circle crop then related tools workflow

Pairs with Crop & Rotate

Straighten with Rotate, refine with rectangular Crop, or finish ID sizes in Passport Photo.

Proof

Round avatars without a cloud hop

Cloud pfp tools ask you to upload first. Fogkits keeps the file on this device, lets you drag the circle onto the face, and hands you a transparent PNG you can drop into Slack, Discord, Notion, or a design mockup. The still below is illustrative — drop your own photo above for a live run.

How to use

Three steps to a round avatar

No account, no queue, no cloud job. Drop files, drag the circle, download when Result looks right.

01

Add images

Drop JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC files onto the circle cropper. Nothing is uploaded — cropping runs in your browser.

02

Reposition the circle

Drag the circle to frame the face (not center-locked). Resize with edge handles; zoom/pan the preview when you need a closer look.

03

Export and download

Default transparent PNG for round avatars. Switch to JPG/WebP with a background fill if you need a solid canvas. Batch up to 20 with ZIP when available.

Circle-crop without uploading

Drop a portrait above, drag the circle onto the face, export transparent PNG, and download when the preview looks right.

Frequently asked questions

Can I crop a circle without uploading?

Yes. Fogkits draws the circle and encodes the result in your browser. The file never leaves this device for this tool.

Is the circle cropper free?

Yes. Browser-local circle crop is free — no account and no credits. Export PNG, JPG, or WebP when the Result preview looks right.

Can I reposition the circle (not just center)?

Yes. Drag the circle on the Original preview to move it over your subject, then resize with the edge handles. Re-center is available if you want the old centered default.

Does circle crop keep transparent corners?

PNG (default) keeps real transparent pixels outside the circle. JPG fills corners with white, black, or a custom color. WebP can stay transparent or use a fill.

Can I circle-crop multiple images at once?

Yes. Add up to 20 images, set format/background once, Crop all, then download selected or Download all as a ZIP when zipArchive is present in the Fogkits build.

What is the maximum image size?

About 25 MB on typical desktops, or 12 MB on devices that report 4 GB of memory or less. Soft timeout is 60 seconds per image.

Need a rectangular crop or exact pixels after?

Use Fogkits Image Crop for rectangles, Image Rotate to straighten first, Image Resizer for exact pixels, or Passport Photo for ID sizes.

Does HEIC from iPhone work?

Yes. HEIC/HEIF is decoded in the browser with heic2any, then circle-cropped like any other still image.
