What we do

Crop an oval in image online is a free, browser-based tool for cutting any photo into an oval shape with a transparent background. Unlike the circle tool, the oval's crop box can be resized to any width and height freely, so the oval can be as tall, wide, or rounded as you like. It supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP images, and because everything runs locally in your browser, cropping is fast, private, and never consumes any upload bandwidth.

Free-Form Oval Crop

Resize the crop box to any width and height - the oval always stretches to fill it exactly, with no fixed aspect ratio.

Transparent PNG Output

The area outside the oval is automatically transparent, so your cropped image drops cleanly onto any background or color.

No Quality Loss

Crops are generated straight from your image's native resolution, so the result stays crisp and sharp.

Complete Data Security

All processing happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to, stored on, or seen by any server.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop an image into an oval shape?

Click "UPLOAD IMAGE" to choose a photo (or "Use demo image" to try it instantly), drag and resize the crop box over the area you want, then click "CROP OVAL". The tool cuts out an oval that fills the crop box and shows the result on the right, ready to download.

Will the area outside the oval be transparent?

Yes. Everything outside the oval outline is removed and replaced with transparency, so the corners of the crop box are fully see-through when you place it on any background.

Is the oval locked to one aspect ratio?

No — unlike the circle tool, the oval crop box can be resized to any width and height freely, so you can make a tall, narrow oval, a wide oval, or anything in between. The shape always fills whatever box you choose.

What format is the oval-shaped image saved in?

PNG. PNG is the only common format that supports transparency, which is required for the area outside the oval to stay see-through.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser and works on any modern mobile browser — you can upload a photo from your phone's gallery and crop it with touch gestures.
