Image cropping is a basic operation in Photoshop. Typically, we crop images in rectangular or square shapes. However, in this article, we will guide you on how to crop images into circular shapes to fit specific scenarios in a simple way. Follow along!
Step 1: Select File -> Open to open the image you want to crop.
Step 2: Right-click on the Rectangular Marquee Tool and choose Elliptical Marquee Tool.
Step 3: After selecting the Elliptical Marquee Tool, hold down the Shift key, then create a circle on the image. Failure to hold down Shift will result in an ellipse instead of a circle.
Step 4: Once you've created the circle, you can use the mouse to accurately move it to the area you want to crop.
Step 5: After adjusting, right-click on the image and select Layer Via Copy, or press Ctrl+J to create a new layer with the cropped circle.
Step 6: You'll see a new Layer created. Click on the eye icon on the original image to hide it.

Step 7: Use the Crop tool to remove any excess parts of the image.
