How to Make a Round Profile Picture (Transparent PNG)

Most apps crop your profile photo into a circle anyway – doing it yourself lets you decide exactly what’s in the frame.

Make it in 30 seconds

Open the Circle Crop tool, choose your photo, drag it to centre your face and zoom in so your head and shoulders fill the circle. Add a border if you like, then download the transparent PNG.

Framing that looks professional

Eyes about one-third from the top, a plain or softly blurred background, good light from the front and a genuine smile. Leave a little space above your head.

Sizes for each platform

Upload at least 400 × 400 pixels; 800 × 800 looks sharp everywhere. LinkedIn, Zoom, Slack, Google and Microsoft accounts all accept square images and crop them to circles.

Use it consistently

Using the same photo across LinkedIn, email, your website and chat apps makes you instantly recognisable to clients.
