kufloyd Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Hi, I'm using Affinity designer and am trying to convert a photo, which is a rectangle of 4272 x 2878 dimensions, into a circle. I'm trying to use the donut tool from within the segment tool to trim the photo down to a circle, but can't figure out how to do that. Any ideas? Basically, I want the photo to be in a circular shape, rather than a rectangle. Thanks.

kufloyd Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Following this tutorial, I was able to export as a circle: https://scriptverse.academy/tutorials/affinity-designer-crop-image-into-circle.html One question I have is: I want to just export the circle, not the white background that comes with it. Any idea how to do that? (see attached image). I have the 'transparent background' box checked in the document setup. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how to do that? In Affinity Photo make sure Document > Transparent Background is ticked and you should then see the checkerboard pattern on screen If so, then export as a PNG file (not a JPG file) Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Any idea why it doesn't work for jpg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 The JPG file format does not, natively, support transparency Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
