What does Round Corners do?
Round Corners is a free online tool that can add rounded corners to your image. The PNG result from Round Corners is a separate copy to inspect before you use it elsewhere. One possible use is thumbnails shaped for a mockup card.
Rounded corners apply an opacity mask to the image using a corner radius in pixels. The result is a PNG that can show clear areas outside the rounded shape.
This is useful for cards, thumbnails and interface mockups where a square-edged asset looks out of place. Choose the radius in relation to the picture width and height rather than using one value for every size. view the output against the background where it will be placed.
The radius is measured in image pixels. A large radius can cut deeply into a small picture.
The output uses a PNG so clear corners can be shown. Check it over the background where it will appear. This effect changes the edge mask, rather than the main subject inside the picture.

Formats and limits for Round Corners
The Round Corners form accepts the image formats in the table sources. Each Round Corners upload can be up to 300 MB, which equals 300 MiB. The allowed suffixes on the Round Corners page do not prove that a source has valid content inside it.
| Accepted formats | Maximum file size | Output |
|---|---|---|
| JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP | 300 MB per file (300 MiB upload limit) | PNG |
See-through corners require a format and destination that keep alpha. Changing the result to JPEG later removes true clear areas.
