Frequently asked questions
Why does my circular photo have a white ring around it?+
A white ring means the tool exported to JPEG (which has no transparency support) and filled the corners white. JAD exports a true transparent PNG so the circular boundary has proper alpha transparency — no white ring on dark backgrounds or coloured page layouts.
What size should a LinkedIn profile photo be?+
LinkedIn recommends 400×400 pixels minimum for profile photos at 1:1 aspect ratio. The maximum is 7680×4320. For best quality, upload at 800×800 and let LinkedIn generate its own circular display — or pre-crop to a circle here and upload the transparent PNG for exact control.
Can I make a circular logo for use in apps or design systems?+
Yes — circular crop works equally well for logos, icons, and team member photos in design systems. Export at 2× your intended display size (e.g. 256×256 for 128px display) for crisp rendering on high-DPI screens.
