What is rounding corners on an image?

Rounding corners clips the four sharp edges of a photo into smooth arcs defined by a pixel corner radius. In practical use, this acts as an image corner rounder for cards, avatars, thumbnails, and UI screenshots. This page draws your image through a rounded-rectangle clip path, can add margin around it, and fills the canvas with either transparency or a solid background color. Upload, adjust radius and margin, preview beside the original, and download PNG in your browser.

Tips for rounded images

Cleaner rounded corners exports and better fit.

  1. Square for circles: Crop to 1:1 first when you want a circular avatar mask.
  2. Transparent for web: Use transparent background when placing the PNG over varied layouts.
  3. White margin for email: Solid white plus margin mimics a card frame in HTML newsletters.
  4. Watch output size: Large margin on big uploads can exceed 8192 px—lower margin if warned.
  5. Start moderate radius: Try 16–32 px on UI screenshots before going fully pill-shaped.
  6. Keep the original: Corner clipping is destructive—archive your source file first.
