Why this tool exists
Every social platform crops your profile picture into a circle, but every cropping tool ships you a square. So you upload your shot, the platform crops corners off, and your face ends up half-cut. This tool flips that: you crop inside an actual circle from the start, see exactly what the platform will see, and download a PNG with the corners already transparent.

Composition tips
A great profile picture follows three rules: fill the circle — your face should occupy 60–70% of the circular area; look at the camera — eye contact with the lens reads as confident; contrast against the background — a plain or blurred background makes your face pop against a busy feed. Use the zoom slider to fill the circle exactly, drag the image to position your eyes on the upper third (rule of thirds).
