What Rounded Corners Does
Rounded Corners works by masking, not reshaping. The tool draws an arc into each of the four corners of your image and sets every pixel outside that arc to fully transparent, while the rest of the image stays untouched pixel-for-pixel — no color shifting, no resampling of the areas you keep. The Corner Radius value controls how far that arc cuts inward: a small radius clips only a sliver from each corner, and a radius close to half the shorter edge of the image produces a near-pill or fully circular shape. Because the effect depends on transparency, the export format matters as much as the radius you choose. JPG has no alpha channel, so if you download the result as a JPG, the corner regions that should be see-through get filled in with a solid color instead, and the rounding disappears visually even though the arc was still calculated correctly. PNG is required to actually preserve the transparent corners once you leave the editor. The tool does not crop, resize, or recompose the image — the canvas dimensions after processing are identical to what you uploaded, the rounded areas are just holes in the alpha channel. It also has no awareness of what's in the image: it won't detect a face, a logo, or text sitting near a corner, so the arc cuts through image content exactly the same way it cuts through empty background. And because the Corner Radius setting is a single value, it applies uniformly — there's no built-in way to make one corner more rounded than the others.
When You Need the Rounding Baked Into the File
CSS border-radius handles rounded corners fine on a live webpage, but plenty of contexts can't rely on a browser to render it. Email clients routinely strip or ignore border-radius, so a rounded product photo or avatar in a marketing email only looks rounded if the file itself already carries transparent corners. The same limitation shows up in PDFs, native app views that display images as-is, slide decks, and social platforms that render uploaded assets without applying your site's stylesheet. App icon and favicon work is another recurring case. Some platforms auto-mask a square PNG for you, but for preview assets, marketing screenshots of an icon, or surfaces that don't apply their own mask, rounding the source image yourself keeps things visually consistent with the masked version users actually see. Avatars and profile images follow the same logic: if you're compositing a rounded avatar into a larger flattened graphic — a certificate, a name badge, a card layout exported as one image, a video thumbnail — the rounding has to exist in the source pixels before flattening, because a CSS radius applied only to the original element won't survive being baked into a static export. Because processing happens entirely in your browser, this also works for material you'd rather not send to a server — screenshots containing personal information, unreleased product photography, or internal tooling assets — none of it is transmitted anywhere in order to get the corners rounded.
How to Round the Corners
Rounding takes one setting and one export decision — there's no layer or mask to manage by hand.
Upload the image you want to round.
Drag the Corner Radius slider, or type a pixel value directly — all four corners update together.
Check the live preview, paying attention to any content sitting close to the edges.
Download the result as PNG so the transparent corners are preserved — a JPG export will fill them in instead.
