Does the circle crop keep a transparent background?

Yes. The output PNG has a fully transparent background outside the circular area, ready to layer over any design.

Can I make a rounded square instead of a full circle?

Absolutely. Lower the Corner Radius slider below 50% to produce a rounded rectangle or squircle shape.

What image formats can I circle-crop?

You can load PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, and GIF images. The output is always PNG to preserve transparency.
