GIMP 2.10 Tutorial: Crop an Image Into a Circle Shape (Easiest Method)

[@John-iv6ih]

Thank you so much! Your Awesome! Godspeed!

[@WHAMToysandFun]

This helped a LOT! I kept exporting as a jpeg and couldn't figure out why the background was still there. Your png comment saved me!!

[@ToneHobart]

This was helpful, I wanted to be able to just Crop a circle and was not sure how to do it. thanks.

[@Bigpapiwampi]

Thank you for adding the shortcut keys. Helps to get in good habits for quicker work :)

[@TimK]

Very nice explanation of the different options, thanks very much.

[@jarrahgumlabradors]

Thank you so much! Very helpful for me to do my logo. Thanks heaps, Alison from Western Australia.

[@ionstar4377]

Ellipse select tool - draw over object - shift i to invert selection - delete.

[@skyview6994]

Fantastic tip sir ;)

[@dabigisland1]

Thank you very much just what I was searching for. I briefly used GIMP in 2007 so I am a newbie. Your instructions are very good and worked well but I had to put speed at .75 and play certain parts over and over to see which small icons you quickly clicked on. I am using a cheap Dell 32" monitor and think I need a better monitor or better eyes for this type of work. Purchased your course to say thanks for helping me and because I need more help.

[@TheNaturalloveRevolution]

Thank you. I have just created my first circular profile picture thanks to your guidance. Good video :)

[@jarkmann3977]

[@Galya892011]

When I hit Ctrl+I, background doesn't change, and when I push Del nothing happens. What do I do? I did 3 circled pics but his tutorial, but with this 4th it's not working. What could be wrong?

[@dudonz]

Man, you just saved my life lol

[@themadhatter8791]

Amazing thanks

[@memorablelifestyle9255]

Very well explained dude ! Just discovered your channel, very helpful. You explain every step and why you do xyz (choose png because its the only one that allows transparent background, what feathered limit does, what adding alpha channel means ,etc.)

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thanks for watching - glad you stumbled upon the channel!

[@lucynerd8971]

wonderful and the best one

Thanks man..............

[@azgrm]

Thanks!

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thanks for supporting the channel Aaron!

[@IRLVaporwave]

if you are on Mac and you don't see the marching ants around the selection, make sure this is checked: *View -> Show Selection*

[@TWTGContent]

how do you make the canvas round instead of square and transparent

[@jamesfarley184]

Your step-by-step tutorial was great, but when I hit delete, instead of the area outside my picture deleting, it gave it a white background. Any idea what I did wrong?

[@jessica6608]

Yep, happened to me as well

[@bolognaplays6652]

Thanks, helped a lot!

[@DubShah]

[@vickiederrick8629]

Are the shortcuts with PC or Mac? The Control + i doesn't work for me on my Mac.

[@mikewellwood1412]

CTRL + i is PC. Is it "command" instead of "control" on a Mac?

[@onamulian]

Merci beaucoup

[@semedic1319]

great vids man! Thanks alot

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thanks for watching!

[@rebeccaminier5641]

Is there any way to make it not saved as a square? The image is still a square but you can only view the circle.

[@mikewellwood1412]

I think not. That's just a limitation of the technology.

[@drutgat2]

Many thanks for another very useful tutorial, Michael. Re. the World Cup, who knows who will win, but I am reluctantly routing for England, after being shocked that the Netherlands failed to qualify a couple of days ago. Who do you want to win it, Michael?

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

My pleasure! And I am rooting for the Three Lions as well - I've got a lot of British family.

[@drutgat2]

That makes two of us. I also lived in the U.K. for 16 years at one point. Let's keep our fingers crossed. 😁

[@marky9197]

when you have completed the circle using the ellipse tool and deleted the unwanted area and then save it, when inserted onto a blank sheet its in a white box and not just the circle, why is this? thanks in advance. It would be a lot easier if you could do it like the crop tool then it would be much easier

[@MNABlake]

When I export the cutdown photo it does not get rid of background. What might be the problem?

[@gr4410]

When i use "delete" the image doesn't crop 😕. Do u know how i can fix it?

[@mikewellwood1412]

Did you export it as a PNG? JPG does not support transparent backgrounds. The other possible problem might be if you omitted to add an alpha channel to the original layer. This is what enables the transparency.

[@mikewellwood1412]

@@gr4410 Did you add an alpha channel to the original layer. This is what enables the transparency.

[@thedrow7647]

Thanks for the guide, your channel is awesome, don't make you cancer until get the to point like other channels, I have a question though, I don't want to make perfect circle, there are flames scattering out of the circle on my image so I want that flames to be border of my circle, so which guide I should watch? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. Edit: Ok I figured it out, I added alpha channel then selected with fuzy selection and then deleted it...:)

[@albynton]

Look! A crop circle!

[@Temp0raryName]

Lol.

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Sweet dad joke lol

[@Kroozy]

Who give this video dislikes? And why?

[@RichsRockschool]

does gimp work on mac?

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Yes - they recently released a download for the latest version (GIMP 2.10.6).

[@DeepakRajKurreyIndian]

Its not a complete circle crop; it has some square around which can be observed when image is placed inline with text.

[@dominikkoodziej1075]

Remember about png. I made jpg. and it didn't work

[@Auranuuk]

Could you make a quick tutorial how to circle crop a Rubiks cube Xd

[@Temp0raryName]

Just saw more of the World Cup, by watching this, than from anywhere else. I guess, if I had to pick one, I would go for England. Just so they don't keep on going on about 1966.

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Haha spoken like a true England fan.

[@thecodeguide8271]

its a circle in gimp, but outside of gimp it is a square.... ????

[@Promthanius]

nope still only deleted the INSIDE

[@quantumdothunter]

Please!: the i in alias is pronounced as a long E sound.

[@jayshreekant]

pRESSING DELETE IS SHOWING WHITE COLOR, NOT TRANSPARENT

[@Sh0rtHub]

FRANCE

[@NoOne-bp4oe]

It's not working.

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

I definitely recommend re-watching and ensuring you followed all the steps properly.

[@gilbertorodrigues8135]

[@tyren818]

this program is the most frustrating thing in the world

[@ZeekStreet]

why don't you just copy and paste??

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

What do you mean?

[@ZeekStreet]

Davies Media Design instead of downloading an image, you could've just copied the image from Google or w/e and paste it in gimp...

[@ZeekStreet]

how making a suggestion makes me a troll?😒😒

[@Bingaling50]

Too many steps for cropping a circle; should be simpler.
