# Circular Profile Photo with Transparent Corners

A wide studio portrait resized into an 800 × 800 circular PNG with the person centered and every pixel outside the circle transparent.

## The mask is part of the delivery

Made first creates a centered square portrait, then applies a circular alpha mask. PNG preserves transparent corners so the file can sit on different interface backgrounds without a baked square.

Creative breakdown

## The decisions behind the output.

The environmental portrait remains recognizable at avatar scale because the face and upper body occupy the central portion of the source and the circular edge does not cross the head.

**Source**

1536 × 1024 synthetic adult studio portrait.

**Target**

800 × 800 circular PNG.

**Mask**

Centered circle with alpha outside its radius.

**Review**

Face, shoulders, hands, mask edge, and transparent corners.

Tested workflow

## Use the exact starting point.

Prompt

Create an 800 by 800 circular profile PNG from this studio portrait. Center the face and upper body, preserve natural proportions, and keep the outside of the circle transparent.

## Run the workflow

1. **Center the portrait**
   Use cover mode to create the underlying square composition.
2. **Apply the circular alpha mask**
   Clip the square into an 800-pixel circle.
3. **Validate transparency**
   Confirm an alpha channel and transparent corner pixels before delivery.

## Why it works

The crop is centered around the person before masking, and PNG retains reusable transparency.

### Adjustment tips

- • Preview the file on both light and dark backgrounds to catch edge halos.

### Limitations

- • A circular mask can remove meaningful corner content; it should be a derived delivery rather than the only stored master.
