About

Your profile picture is often the first interaction you have with a potential employer, client, or connection. In digital branding, consistency and framing are critical. This tool addresses the specific geometric challenge of fitting rectangular photographs into the circular viewports used by 99% of social platforms today.

Unlike server-based editors, this application operates entirely within your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your biometric data never leaves your device. It provides precise control over composition, allowing you to manipulate the x and y offset, scale factor s, and rotation angle θ to achieve the perfect focal point.

We also include specific logic to handle high-density displays (Retina/4K), ensuring that when you define a 400px output, it renders with crisp edges suitable for professional scrutiny.

Formulas

The cropping mechanism relies on coordinate mapping between the source image matrix and the destination canvas. The visible area is defined by the circle equation:

x2 + y2 r2

Where r is the radius of the viewport. To maintain quality during the zoom operation, we apply a scaling transformation matrix T:

T = s0dx0sdy001

Here, s represents the zoom level (scale), while dx and dy represent the pan offsets relative to the origin.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. This tool uses client-side HTML5 Canvas technology. Your image is processed entirely within your browser's memory and never leaves your device.
Image files (PNG/JPG) are inherently rectangular grids of pixels. To create a circle, we make the pixels outside the circle transparent. When you view the file on your desktop, it may look square, but when uploaded to social media, the transparency ensures only the circle is visible.
While LinkedIn accepts 400x400px, we recommend exporting at 1600x1600px. High-resolution source files prevent blurriness when viewed on Retina displays or when users click to view your profile photo in full screen.
Use the "Border" controls in the editor. Set the border width to roughly 5-8% of the canvas size and select the standard green color (#057642) from our preset palette.
Yes. Ensure you select the maximum resolution (2048px) to ensure 300 DPI print quality for physical ID badges or conference passes.
