Why is the download a PNG?

Rounded corners need transparency so the cut-away corners do not show as a solid colour. PNG supports an alpha channel, so the corners stay fully transparent; JPG cannot do this.

Round the corners of any image

Give any image soft, rounded corners — ideal for cards, avatars, thumbnails and UI mockups. Pick the radius with a slider and download a PNG whose corners are fully transparent, so it sits cleanly on any background.

How it works

The image is drawn onto a local <canvas> that is clipped to a rounded rectangle. The corner radius is calculated as:

radius = chosen % × shorter side of the image  (capped at half the shorter side)

Because the radius is a percentage of the shorter side, the rounding looks proportional whether the image is a small thumbnail or a large photo. The cut-away corners are left transparent, which is why the file is exported as a PNG.

Worked example

A 800 × 600 image with a 12% radius:

  • Shorter side: 600 px
  • Corner radius: 12% × 600 = 72 px
  • Output size: 800 × 600 PNG with four 72 px rounded, transparent corners

Common uses

  • Rounded thumbnails and cover images for cards and grids.
  • Avatars and profile pictures that need a soft, modern look.
  • UI and app-store screenshots that match a rounded design language.

It all runs on a local canvas, so your images are never uploaded.
