Frequently asked questions

How do I crop an image into a star shape?

Click "UPLOAD IMAGE" to choose a photo (or "Use demo image" to try it instantly), drag and resize the crop box over the area you want, then click "CROP STAR". The tool cuts out a 5-point star shape and shows the result on the right, ready to download.

Will the area outside the star be transparent?

Yes. Everything outside the star outline is removed and replaced with transparency, so the rest of the image is fully see-through when you place it on any background.

What format is the star-shaped image saved in?

PNG. PNG is the only common format that supports transparency, which is required for the area outside the star to stay see-through.

What's a star crop good for?

Badges, achievement highlights, review/rating graphics, fun profile pictures, and playful social media stickers — the transparent star shape drops cleanly onto any background.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser and works on any modern mobile browser — you can upload a photo from your phone's gallery and crop it with touch gestures.
