How circle crops are saved
Drag and resize the circle over the part of the photo you want. The result is a square PNG, with the area outside the circle transparent, so it sits cleanly on any background.
You can save it at 10% to 400% of the cropped area's size. Enlarging beyond 100% won't add detail, so start from a big photo for a sharp result.
Many apps, like WhatsApp and LinkedIn, crop profile photos to a circle themselves. For those, upload a square instead and choose the framing in the app.
