Circlecropimage.net –image tools: crop, enhance, compress, remove background

4•maysunyoung•6mo ago
Hi HN,

I recently built CircleCropImage.net — a growing suite of lightweight, privacy-friendly image tools that all run 100% in your browser. No logins, no uploads, no tracking. Just fast, focused utilities that solve common image-editing tasks.

Current tools include: Circle Crop – Crop any image into a perfect circle with transparent background

Image Enhancer – Automatically improve sharpness, contrast, and detail

Background Remover – Remove image background instantly (powered by AI, local preview)

Compress to 500KB – Smart image compression for file size limits

Blur Image – Apply adjustable Gaussian blur to any photo

Resize Image – Resize by dimensions or percentage, while keeping quality

Why I made this: Most image tools either:

require signup,

upload your photos to a server,

or are crammed with ads and clutter.

I wanted something lightweight, privacy-first, and genuinely useful — especially for quick edits like preparing a profile picture, compressing an image for web, or blurring something before sharing.

Everything runs client-side (except the AI background remover which requests a cloud function), and works on desktop & mobile.

Would love your feedback or feature requests — thanks!

Thanks for creating this.

What I would like is ability to blur/mask as well as highlight selected portions of an image.

Hi there,

Thank you for your suggestion! We're excited to announce that the Selective Blur feature is now live on CircleCropImage.net.

With this new update, you can now select specific portions of your image to apply a blur effect, helping you focus on important areas while obscuring others. Whether you're looking to blur backgrounds or hide sensitive information, this feature gives you the flexibility to adjust the blur intensity to suit your needs.

Additionally, we’ve designed the tool to be easy to use—simply select the area you want to blur, choose your desired blur strength, and you’re good to go!

Feel free to try it out and let us know if you have any more suggestions or feedback. We’re always working to improve and provide you with the best tools for your image editing needs.

Thank you for being part of the CircleCropImage community!

Great tool! I can see myself using it for a number of quick edits I need during the week. Small suggestion - maybe a localized/selection-based blur?
