Round the Corners of an Image
Give any image soft, rounded corners and download it as a transparent PNG or WebP. Drag the radius slider from a subtle curve all the way to a pill or circle, toggle between pixels and percent, or tap a preset like 8px, 32px or Max. A live preview sits on a checkerboard so you can see exactly what stays transparent, and everything runs in your browser so the image never leaves your device.
How to round the corners of an image
- Drop an image onto the drop zone, or click to browse (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF or BMP).
- Drag the Corner radius slider, switching between px and % with the toggle beside it.
- Or tap a preset: 0, 8, 16 or 32px, or Max for a full pill or circle.
- Pick the output format, PNG or WebP, both exported with transparency.
- Check the live preview on the checkerboard, then click Download to save the rounded image.
Examples
Soften a thumbnail
A 400x400 product image, radius 48px
The same 400x400 image with smoothly rounded corners on a transparent background
Turn a square avatar into a circle
A 512x512 headshot, Max preset (100 percent)
A perfect circle, since 100 percent clamps to 256px, half the shorter side
Gently round a social card
A 1200x630 banner, radius 24px
A 1200x630 PNG with subtle 24px corners, ready to sit on any background
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The rounding happens entirely in your browser with the Canvas API, so the image never leaves your device. That makes it safe for private screenshots, product shots or personal photos.
Why should I export as PNG or WebP?
Rounded corners need transparency so the area outside the curve shows through. PNG and WebP support an alpha channel; JPEG does not, so it would fill the corners with a solid color instead. Those are the two formats this tool offers for exactly that reason.
How large can the radius get?
The radius is clamped to half of the shorter side, so it can never exceed a full pill or circle. If you type or drag past that limit, the tool caps it and the preview simply stops curving further.
What does the percent option mean?
Percent is measured against that maximum radius, so 100 percent equals half the shorter side, a fully rounded shape, and 50 percent is halfway there. Pixels give you an exact, resolution-specific value instead.
Can I make the image a circle?
Yes. Set the radius to 100 percent, or hit the Max preset, and a square image becomes a circle. On a non-square image the same setting produces a pill with fully rounded ends.
Does it resize or crop the image?
No. The output keeps the original width and height, and only the corner pixels are clipped to transparent. Everything inside the rounded area is untouched.
Which image formats can I open?
You can load PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF or BMP. Animated GIFs are read as a single still frame, so the download is a static rounded image rather than an animation.
Does it reduce quality?
No pixels inside the rounded area are changed; only the corners are clipped away. Exporting to PNG is lossless, while WebP uses the browser's default encoder for a smaller file.
What is the downloaded file named?
The tool keeps your original name and appends -rounded before the extension, swapping the extension to match the chosen format, for example photo.jpg becomes photo-rounded.png.
