Any photo, cropped into any shape
Upload a photo, type the shape you want, and the image shape changer generates it. Ask for a circle, a heart, a hexagon, or an outline no preset covers, like a cloud or a speech bubble. Your subject stays inside the new edge, and you never drag a mask or a crop handle.
Creators use it for round profile pictures and podcast covers. Shop owners crop product shots into forms that fit sticker sheets and story highlight covers, and teachers turn class photos into hearts and stars for cards. If you have no picture yet, make one first with the AI image generator.
How to change the shape of an image:
Step 01
Upload your photo
Add the picture you want to reshape to the AI image editor. Clear, well-lit shots with the subject near the middle work best, because the new edge needs room around it. If the file is small, sharpen it first with the image upscaler.
Step 02
Describe the shape you want
Type the crop into the prompt field: "crop this photo into a circle on a white background," "cut this picture into a heart," or "crop it to a hexagon with a thin border." You can keep the default model or choose another to compare results.
Step 03
Download, vary, or animate
Save the result, or adjust the prompt and generate again until the look is right. The picture comes back on a solid background. For a transparent version to layer onto other designs, take the download to the AI background remover.

Crop an image into a circle or any custom shape
Circle crops are the most common request, so start there: a round headshot for a profile, or a round product photo for a label. The same prompt field handles ovals, hearts, stars, hexagons, and squares with rounded corners. It also takes irregular outlines that preset tools skip, like a paw print or the map of your state. Describe the form in a few words and the photo shape changer fits your picture inside it.
Cut out a shape from an image without masks or layers
Design software asks you to draw the outline, place the photo behind it, and line up a clipping mask. Here you write one sentence. Say where the subject should sit ("keep the face centered"), what goes around the cutout ("plain white background" or "pale blue backdrop"), and whether you want a border. The image shaper follows the instruction and returns a finished picture. A follow-up prompt can thicken the border or shift the crop.
Turn the cropped photo into a video overlay or intro
The finished crop has plenty of uses inside a video. Place a circular headshot in the corner of a tutorial as a presenter bubble, or open a reel with a heart-shaped photo of the couple. You can also animate it with image-to-video AI, then add captions and music in the video editor before you post.
FAQ
Upload the photo to the AI image editor, type what you want in the prompt field, and generate. For example, write "crop this photo into a circle on a white background." Then download the result, or change the prompt and run it again if you want a different outline or background color.
Describe the outline in plain words. The editor accepts common forms like hearts, stars, ovals, and hexagons, and it also handles irregular ones such as a cloud, a shield, or a puzzle piece. If the edge comes out too simple, add detail to the prompt, for example "a five-point star with rounded tips and a thin gold border."
No. This step returns your picture inside the cutout on a solid background, such as white or any color you name, and it does not export a transparent PNG. If you need transparency for layering, VEED's AI background remover is the separate tool for cutouts. A plain, high-contrast backdrop gives it a cleaner edge to work with.
Yes. Each crop runs on AI credits rather than a flat price. Credit cost changes with the AI model you pick and the number of outputs, and it appears before you generate. Paid plans include AI credits, and the VEED pricing page lists current plans and what each one includes.
Photos with one clear subject and some space around it work best. A tight close-up leaves little room for a round or pointed edge, so the crop may cut into hair or shoulders. Use a sharp, well-lit shot, keep the subject near the center, and mention in the prompt which part of the picture must stay visible.
