Round corners image online in three steps
Drop a picture on the box above and you can round corners image online in a few seconds. Set the radius of the rounded corners, watch the live preview, then download the result. One picture or a whole batch works the same way, and many pictures come back in one ZIP.
Everything happens in your browser. Your pictures are opened, rounded and saved on your own device, and nothing is uploaded. JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC photos from iPhones work, and most browsers also open GIF, BMP and AVIF. The result keeps the full pixel size of the original.

Press Round corners, then Download image for one picture or Download all (ZIP) for a batch. Each file gets -rounded added to its name.
The default is a Round shape with a radius of 8% of the shorter side, see-through corners and PNG output. That already gives soft, clean rounded corners for most photos and screenshots.
Presets: six looks in one tap
Barely softened
A radius of 2%. The corners lose their sharp point but still look square. Good for documents and product shots.
Card (UI)
A radius of 6%, the look of cards and panels in apps and on websites. A safe choice for screenshots.
Clearly rounded
A radius of 15%. The rounding is obvious at a glance, friendly and modern.
Squircle (app icon)
A radius of 22% with the Squircle shape: the smooth, continuous corner known from app icons.
Pill
A radius of 50%. A square picture becomes a circle, and a wide one becomes a pill with fully round ends.
Polaroid-style with border
A radius of 4%, a 14 px white border and a soft drop shadow, like a printed photo lying on a table.
A preset only changes the settings, so you can adjust any of them afterwards. Your last settings are kept in your browser, ready for next time.
Radius guide: which setting for which job
| Use | Radius | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Documents, product photos | 2–4% | Takes the hard edge off without changing the look |
| Screenshots, UI cards | 5–8% | Matches typical cards and panels |
| Blog and social images | 10–15% | Clearly rounded, still a rectangle |
| App icons | 20–23%, Squircle | Smooth corners like a home screen icon |
| Avatars, badges | 50% on a square | Gives a full circle |
| Buttons, banners | 50% on a wide picture | Gives a pill with round ends |
Percent keeps rounded corners looking the same on big and small pictures, because it is measured against the shorter side. Pixels give the exact same corner on every picture, which suits a set of images for one web page.
Add rounded corners to image files: radius and single corners
To add rounded corners to image files, first pick the Radius unit. With % of the shorter side, 10% on a 1000 × 600 picture means a radius of 60 px, and the slider goes up to 50%. With Pixels you type the exact size, up to half the shorter side of the first picture.
Tick Each corner on its own to get four sliders: Top left, Top right, Bottom right and Bottom left. Round only the top two corners for a tab or a card header, or only one corner for a speech bubble look. A corner set to 0 stays sharp.
Squircle image: smooth, app-icon style corners
A squircle image has corners that start curving earlier and bend more gently than a normal arc. There is no visible point where the straight edge meets the curve, so the shape looks calmer, like an app icon on a phone. Choose Squircle (smooth) under Shape, or tap the Squircle (app icon) preset.
Our squircle is an approximation drawn with smooth curves. It is close to the look of app icons, but it is not the exact formula any phone maker uses, so do not rely on it for an official icon template. For everything else, from logos to thumbnails, it gives a soft, modern outline.
Round corners image transparent or filled with a colour
Under Corners outside the shape, See-through leaves the corners empty, so the picture sits cleanly on any background colour. Fill with a colour paints them in a colour you pick instead, for example the exact background of your page or slide.
If you want the round corners image transparent, save as PNG or WebP. JPG cannot store transparency at all, so with JPG the corners are always filled; white is the default, and the colour picker appears so you can change it.
Round corner image PNG, WebP or JPG: which format to save
A round corner image png is the safest choice for logos, screenshots and anything placed on a coloured background, because PNG is lossless and keeps the see-through corners. Format is under More options, next to Border and Drop shadow.
WebP keeps transparency too and gives much smaller files for websites; the Quality slider, from 60 to 100, sets the balance between size and detail. JPG is the smallest for photos and opens everywhere, but its corners are filled. To change a finished PNG to WebP later, use PNG to WebP.
Round corners image free: no account, no watermark
This round corners image free tool needs no account, no email and no app. There is no watermark, no daily limit and no paid version. It can be free because your own device does the work: drawing a rounded shape takes any phone or computer a moment, so there is no server to pay for.
Rounded corners photo with a border and drop shadow
A rounded corners photo looks more finished with a frame. Open More options and set the Border width, up to 80 px, and its colour. The border follows the same rounded shape, and it is added around the picture, so the file grows by twice the border width.
Tick Add a soft shadow under Drop shadow to lift the picture off the page, and set Softness from 4 to 80 px. The shadow needs room, so a margin is added around the picture. Keep See-through and PNG to place the result with its shadow on any background. For square frames without rounding, Add Border has more frame styles.
Image with round corners: circle or pill
An image with round corners turns into a circle when the radius reaches 50% and the picture is square. On a wide or tall picture the same 50% gives a pill: two straight sides and two fully round ends.
If you want a perfect circle from a picture that is not square, Circle Crop is the better tool, because it lets you choose which square part to keep. You can also use Crop Image to make the picture square first and then come back here.
Round corners for profile picture and avatars
Rounding works well for round corners for profile picture uploads on sites that show avatars as rounded squares, and for team pages, email signatures and CVs. A radius of 15% to 25% gives a soft square; 50% on a square photo gives a circle.
Many sites cut avatars into a circle by themselves, so upload a square photo there and keep the face in the middle. To put a person on a clean background first, Remove Background cuts them out, and then you round the result here.
Round corners image iPhone, Android and computer guide
To round corners image iPhone photos, open this page in Safari or another browser, tap Select images and pick from Photos or Files. HEIC photos work directly. Saved files go to Downloads in the Files app, and Save Image or Share moves them into Photos.
On Android, pick from the gallery or file manager; results land in the Downloads folder. On Windows and Mac, any current browser works: drag pictures in, or copy one and paste it with Ctrl+V.
Many pictures at once and a ZIP
Select many files at once or drop a pile on the box. The same rounded corners and settings are used for every picture, and the preview shows the first one, so check it before you start. Download all (ZIP) saves everything as rounded-images.zip.
If you change a setting afterwards, the results are cleared and the button is ready again, so you can try another radius without adding the files again. With Pixels, all pictures get the same corner size; with %, each corner follows the size of its own picture.
Common problems and fixes
The corners are white, not see-through
You saved as JPG, or Fill with a colour is on. Choose PNG or WebP and See-through.
The rounded corners are barely visible
The radius is small for a big picture. Raise it, or switch to % of the shorter side.
I wanted a circle but got an oval
50% on a non-square picture gives a pill. Crop it square first, or use Circle Crop.
The file is bigger than the original
The border and the shadow margin add pixels. A PNG of a photo is also larger than a JPG.
The shadow looks cut off
Raise Softness a little; the margin grows with it. Keep PNG so the margin stays clear.
A picture would not open
Some formats depend on the browser. Change it to JPG or PNG with Convert Image and add it again.
Is it safe? Your pictures stay on your device
Your pictures are read, rounded and saved by your browser, and nothing is sent to our server: no file, no preview, no copy. Only the page itself loads from our site, and your last settings stay in your browser's own storage.
How it works
Each picture is opened by the browser, turned the right way up and drawn onto a canvas at full size. The outline of the rounded corners is used as a clipping path with smooth, antialiased edges, the border and shadow are drawn behind it, and the canvas is saved as PNG, WebP or JPG.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add rounded corners to image files online?
Add your pictures to the box on this page, pick a preset or move the Radius slider, and press Round corners. Then download one file or a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded.
Do I need an app to round corners image online?
No. The page works in any current browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install and no account to create.
Is this round corners image free to use?
Yes. There is no watermark, no daily limit and no sign-up. Your own device does the work, so there is no cost to pass on.
How do I get a round corner image png with clear corners?
Keep See-through under Corners outside the shape and choose PNG as the format. The corners outside the rounded shape are then fully transparent, ready for any background.
How do I make a rounded corners photo with a border?
Open More options and set the Border width and colour. The border follows the rounded shape. For a printed-photo look, tap the Polaroid-style with border preset, which also adds a shadow.
How do I make the round corners image transparent?
Choose See-through and save as PNG or WebP. JPG cannot store transparency, so with JPG the corners are always filled with the colour you pick, white by default.
What is a squircle image?
It is a picture whose corners curve smoothly into the straight edges, with no visible join, like an app icon. Choose Squircle (smooth) or the Squircle (app icon) preset. Ours is a close approximation drawn with curves, not an official icon formula.
How do I turn an image with round corners into a circle?
Use a square picture and set the radius to 50%, or tap the Pill preset. On a picture that is not square, 50% gives a pill shape instead, so crop it square first.
What radius is best for round corners for profile picture uploads?
For a soft rounded square, try 15% to 25%. For a full circle, use 50% on a square photo. Keep the face in the middle, because the corners are cut away.
Does round corners image iPhone support include HEIC photos?
Yes. Tap Select images on your iPhone and pick from Photos or Files; HEIC opens directly. The result is saved to Downloads in the Files app.
What does % of the shorter side mean?
The radius is measured against the shorter side of each picture. On a 1200 × 800 picture, 10% means 80 px. This keeps the same look on big and small pictures.
Can I round only some of the corners?
Yes. Tick Each corner on its own and set Top left, Top right, Bottom right and Bottom left separately. A corner at 0 stays sharp.
Why are the corners white in my JPG?
JPG has no transparency, so the corners must be filled. Pick another colour with the colour picker, or choose PNG or WebP for see-through corners.
Can I process many pictures at once?
Yes. Add as many pictures as you like; the same settings are used for all of them. Download all (ZIP) saves every result in one archive.
Why is my picture larger after adding a shadow?
A shadow needs space around the picture, so a margin is added on every side. The margin grows with Softness. A border also adds its width on every side.
Does the picture lose resolution?
No. Each picture is rounded at its full pixel size. Only the preview is scaled down to fit your screen.
Which Quality setting should I use?
Quality appears for WebP and JPG and runs from 60 to 100. 85 to 92 is a good balance for most photos. PNG has no quality slider because it is lossless.
Can I compare the result with the original?
Yes. Tick Show original above the preview to see the picture before rounding, and untick it to see the result again.
Are my pictures uploaded to a server?
No. Pictures are opened, rounded and saved in your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Which file types can I add?
JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC work, and most browsers also open GIF, BMP and AVIF. An animated GIF is saved as a still picture of its first frame.
Will my settings be remembered?
Yes. Your last settings are stored in your browser, so they are ready next time. Reset these options under More options brings back the defaults.
