Image Shape Cutter

Cut an image into any shape in four steps

Add your image. Drop it on the box, click to choose a file, or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V (⌘+V on Mac). JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF and iPhone HEIC photos work.
Choose a shape. Circle, oval, square, rectangle or rounded corners. Rectangles, ovals and rounded shapes also take an aspect ratio such as 16:9, 4:5 or your own width × height.
Frame it. Drag the photo to move it, scroll or pinch to zoom, rotate in 90° steps or straighten with the fine slider. The bright area is exactly what you will get.
Download. Pick an output size (original resolution, 512, 1024, 2048 or custom) and save as PNG or WebP. Everything outside the shape is transparent.

Rectangle	YouTube thumbnails, banners, stories, photo prints	Rectangle crop image
Rounded corners	App icons, UI screenshots, cards and thumbnails	Rounded corner image

Why a transparent PNG matters

A normal crop always gives you a rectangle. When you cut a circle or a rounded shape, the corners must be transparent so the image sits cleanly on any background — a coloured slide, a website header, a dark-mode app or a Canva design. PNG and WebP both keep that transparency; JPG cannot, which is why this tool does not offer it.

Want the shape filled instead of see-through? Set the background inside the shape to white or any colour. That is handy for logos with transparent areas or for “fit the whole image” framing, where the photo is shrunk to fit inside the shape without being cropped.

Extras that save a trip to an editor

Border / outline in any colour — a white ring around a round profile picture, or a thin grey edge on a screenshot.
Exact output sizes — keep full resolution for print, or export 512 / 1024 px for web and social apps.
Copy image straight to the clipboard to paste into WhatsApp Web, Slack, Google Docs or PowerPoint.
Private by design — the photo is read and cut inside your browser tab. There is no upload, no account and no watermark.

Need the subject cut out from its background first? Run the photo through the background remover, then bring the transparent PNG here and put it in a circle.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image shape cutter free?

Yes. It is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many images you cut.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The image is opened and cut by JavaScript in your browser, and the PNG is created on your device. Nothing is sent to ITCOH or anyone else.

What is the difference between cutting and cropping?

Cropping trims an image to a smaller rectangle. Cutting to a shape keeps only the pixels inside a circle, oval or rounded outline and makes the rest transparent, so the result is not a rectangle when placed on a background.

Which format keeps the transparent background?

PNG and WebP keep transparency. PNG works everywhere; WebP files are usually smaller and work in modern browsers and most apps. JPG cannot store transparency.

Can I keep the full image without cropping it?

Yes. Press “Fit whole” to shrink the photo so all of it sits inside the shape, then choose a transparent, white or coloured background for the empty space.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. On Android and iPhone you can pick a photo from the gallery, drag with one finger and pinch with two fingers to zoom, then download the PNG to your device.
