Before and after
Square cornersRoundedDrag the handle across the image. The right-hand side is this tool's output, not a mock-up of it.
Three steps
Drop in the image whose corners you want softened.
Slide from a slight softening to a full pill or circle, with a live preview.
The cut corners are transparent, so the format has to support an alpha channel.
Why this one
The corners are cut to alpha rather than filled, so the image sits on any background colour without a visible square.
Corner radius is entirely a judgement call, so it is a live preview rather than a number you guess and re-export.
A CSS radius disappears the moment the image is used somewhere without your stylesheet. Baking it into the file means it travels.
The short version
Rounded corners are the most quietly load-bearing detail in modern interface design, and the moment an image leaves your own page they stop being a stylesheet property and start being something the file has to carry itself. Emails, decks, marketplaces and app previews all show your image exactly as it was saved, which is when a baked-in radius earns its keep.
Questions
Use CSS when you control the page. Bake it into the file when you do not: an email client, a slide deck, a marketplace listing or an app that shows your image raw will ignore your stylesheet entirely.
The file was saved as JPG, which has no alpha channel and fills the cut area with white. Export as PNG or WebP.
Between two and five percent of the image width reads as a soft modern corner. Beyond about fifteen percent it starts to read as a deliberate pill shape rather than a subtle rounding.
No. It is baked into the pixels, so resizing scales the visible corner with everything else. Round after resizing if you need an exact corner size.
