How to round corners

  1. Drop the image.
  2. Pick the radius.
  3. Press Apply and download the PNG.

What happens to your file

A rounded-rectangle mask is drawn at the radius you chose — a per cent of the shorter side, so it suits a thumbnail and a poster alike — and the picture is cut to it: inside stays, outside becomes transparent. The result is always a PNG, because JPG has no transparency. Round on a square picture gives a circle; on a wide one, a pill.

Questions

Can the outside be white instead of transparent?

Convert the PNG to JPG afterwards — the transparent area is flattened onto white.

A circle from a photo that is not square?

Crop image to 1:1 first, then Round with the largest radius.

Do it once, not on every form

A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Add to Chrome — freeWhat it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "image.effect",
    "options": {
      "effect": "round-corners",
      "format": "png",
      "radius": 8
    }
  }'

The same operation, image.effect — Four small edits: rounded corners (with transparency), a border, a pixelation, a blur — sizes as a per cent of the shorter side. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
