I have a round logo that I want to crop out from a white background (JPG image). The Vector Crop Tool only seems to let me crop in boxes.  Surely there is a simple way to select a circular area of an image and crop that out, to save what's inside the circle.  Please advise ASAP.  Thanks in advance!

JPEG does not support transparency, you must use eg PNG.

Draw a round shape (ellipse) over the part of the JPG image you want to keep.

Then in the Layers panel drag that shape over the thumbnail of the image layer to mask the image to the shape

carl123    I tried that but what is the step to save only the round section of the image?  

Thanks.

If by "save" you mean export

Select the background (pixel layer) then...

File > Export > PNG

Select "Selection without background" in the Area drop-down box

carl123.   Yes.. I tried that but when I select the original file (JPG) and try to save at PNG w/o background I get the same image.  The white bkgrnd does not drop out. See attached AD file. In the attached  are both the original (RT) and the saved PNG ((L).

You used a rectangle shape for the mask you need to use a circle

See attached

Just the circular red logo on a transparent background (attached logo is a PNG with transparency) ...

Convert the image layer to pixel (raster) via the layer commands, then via the Pixel persona make a circular selection more exact than mine here and copy over to doc with a transparent background. Save the whole as a PNG to keep the transparency outside of the circle. - That just in case you want to have your circular logo stand alone. Otherwise for usage inside your actual document follow Carls advice.

Sorry... newbie to AD.

Not a problem

Upload what you have now with the circle layer
