How to Round Image Corners Online

Round Image Corners: before and after JPG A BEFORE ROUND IMAGECORNERS JPG A AFTER

Rounded corners make a screenshot look tidy on a slide, a product photo look modern on a website, and a profile picture sit nicely on a card. Choose a photo, drag the corner slider, and the preview shows the result on your actual image.

You can round all four corners equally or set each one on its own, crop to a circle instead, add a coloured border and a soft drop shadow, then save as PNG, WebP or JPG. The work happens in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.

Steps to Make Rounded Corners

  1. 1. Choose your photo

    Drop an image onto 'Your photo' or click to pick one. JPG, PNG, WebP and other formats your browser opens all work.

  2. 2. Set the corner rounding

    Drag 'Corner rounding' from 0 to 100 percent. Untick 'Round all four corners the same' to set Top left, Top right, Bottom right and Bottom left separately.

  3. 3. Add a border or shadow

    Tick 'Add a border' for width, colour and inside or outside placement. Tick 'Add a drop shadow' for offset, blur, spread, colour and opacity.

  4. 4. Pick a format and download

    Choose PNG or WebP to keep the corners see-through, or JPG with a background colour, then press the Download button.

What Is a Rounded Corner Image Tool?

It cuts the square corners of a picture into curves and makes the cut-away area transparent. The radius here is a percentage of the image, so the same setting looks the same on a small screenshot and a large camera photo. Border width and shadow sizes work the same way, measured against the shorter side of the picture.

Why Use Online Image Tools?

What You Can Do With Rounded Corners

Per-corner control

Round only the top corners for a card header, or just one corner for a tab-like shape.

Circle option

'Crop to a circle instead' squares the picture first, so a round profile photo never turns into an oval.

Border inside or outside

An outside border grows the file around the picture; an inside border keeps the size and covers the edge.

Real drop shadow

The canvas grows to fit the shadow, so it is never cut off at the edge of the saved image.

Tips for Neat Rounded Images

  1. Save as PNG or WebP when the image will sit on a coloured or patterned background. JPG cannot hold transparency.

  2. If you must use JPG, set the background behind the corners to match the page colour exactly.

  3. Around 8 to 15 percent looks like a modern app card. Higher values start to look like a pill or a circle.

  4. Keep shadows soft: low opacity and a generous blur look natural, while dark, sharp shadows look dated.

  5. For slides, round every screenshot with the same setting so the deck looks consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about this tool.

How do I round the corners of a picture without Photoshop?

Choose the picture on this page, drag the Corner rounding slider until the preview looks right, and download it as PNG. No software or account is needed.

Why do the corners turn white when I save?

You saved as JPG, which cannot store transparent areas, so the corners are filled with the background colour you chose. Save as PNG or WebP to keep them see-through.

Can I make a circular profile picture here?

Yes. Tick 'Crop to a circle instead'. The photo is trimmed to a square first so the circle is round, and you can still add a border and shadow.

Why is my downloaded image bigger than the original?

A drop shadow or an outside border needs extra room, so the canvas is enlarged to fit them. Turn both off, or choose an inside border, to keep the original dimensions.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The corners, border and shadow are drawn in your browser, and the file you download is created on your device.

Does Round Image Corners reduce my photo’s quality?

Converting and cropping keep quality close to the original. Compressing trades a little detail for a much smaller file, and a lighter setting keeps more of it. Compare the preview with your original before saving.

Will my photo be accepted by the exam form?

The exam photo tools follow the size, dimensions and file weight given in the official notice. Always read the latest notice too, because boards sometimes change their rules between years.

Can I edit pictures with Round Image Corners straight from my gallery?

Yes. Pick a photo from your gallery or take one with the camera, then save the result back to your phone. Everything works in the browser, so there is no app to install.

Is Round Image Corners free with no watermark?

Yes. Use it for as many pictures as you need without an account, and each image comes back without any logo or mark from the site.
