Does this upload my photo to a server?

No. Rounding runs entirely in your browser using a Canvas Path2D mask + clip(). Your image never leaves your device.

Why is the output PNG even though I uploaded JPG?

JPG can't carry an alpha channel - the rounded corners need transparency to look right against any background. PNG output preserves that. If you upload a JPG, the file size will grow on output - that's expected.

What's the difference between 50% radius and the circle tool?

On a perfect square, 50% radius produces a circle. On non-square photos, 50% radius produces an ellipse (the maximum rounding for that aspect). Our circle tool centre-crops to a square first, then applies a perfect circle - pick that for avatars where you need a true circle output.

Can I round only specific corners?

Currently all four corners use the same radius. Per-corner radii would need a 4-slider UI - on our roadmap. For mixed corners, open the result in the AI editor and use the layer mask tool.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes - 40 MB per image. Most phone photos are well under this.
