Follow this interactive demo to learn how to change the picture from square to circle.
  1. Inside the slide canvas of your PowerPoint presentation, find and select the picture you want to edit.
  2. Following that, go to the top menu bar and click 'Picture Format'.
  3. Subsequently, find the 'Crop' option and then click the drop-down arrow next to it.
  4. Hover your mouse cursor over the 'Crop To Shape' option.

  6. Hold the resize handles afterwards, then adjust the shape according to your liking.
  7. Finally, the selected picture in your PowerPoint presentation will be changed from square to circle.

📌 Why this matters

Circular images create visual harmony and draw attention to faces or central subjects by naturally guiding the viewer's eye inward. This simple shape change transforms standard rectangular photos into polished, professional-looking elements that work especially well for profile pictures, team member showcases, or testimonial sections. Beyond aesthetics, circular cropping helps you maintain consistent visual branding across presentations while making your slides feel more modern and intentional rather than using default rectangular images that can appear static or template-like.
