How to Use the Image Shape Cutter

This tool makes it super easy to crop your image into clean shapes like circles, squircles, or polygons. You don’t need editing skills — just upload your picture and adjust a few controls. Here’s a simple guide to help you get the best results.

How It Works.

The Image Shape Cutter uses a mask system. When you upload an image:

• The image loads directly inside your browser (locally).
• A shape mask (circle, squircle, polygon, etc.) is placed over your image.
• Everything inside the shape is kept; everything outside becomes transparent or white.
• The tool renders a high-resolution output based on your original image size.

Privacy & Data Safety

Your image never leaves your device. This tool works entirely inside your browser using JavaScript. That means:

• No uploaded image is sent to the server.
• No image is stored, saved, logged, or backed up.
• No personal data is collected or transmitted.
• Everything happens locally on your device’s memory.

Once you close or refresh the page, the image and settings are gone immediately.

This ensures full privacy and keeps your images 100% safe.

Tips for Best Results

• Use a high-quality image for a sharper export.
• PNG is the best option for transparent backgrounds.
• Try rotating polygons for unique designs.
• If something looks off, click Reset to start fresh.

If you follow these steps, you’ll easily create clean, beautiful, perfectly shaped images. Enjoy using the Image Shape Cutter!
