CROP IMAGES INTO A CIRCLE SHAPE | Tired of cropping your photos as boring rectangles? Learn how to crop an image into a circle with Photoshop!

Usually when we think of cropping images, we think of cropping them as a rectangle or a square. That's because the Crop Tool in Photoshop doesn't give us any other options. But who says we need to use the Crop Tool? Photoshop makes it just as easy to crop a photo using a selection tool. To crop an image to a circle, we'll use the Elliptical Marquee Tool. Any Photoshop version will work.
