It’s frustrating that there is no option whatsoever to crop an imagein round shapes on MS Paint. And I just hope that Microsoft will introduce such a feature sometime or the other. Till then we have to live with workarounds or use tools like Photoshop (that’s the best I can name). But then, we deserve an easier way out right?

Today we plan to discuss a cool trick to help us give an image a complete round shape easily using Paint and Word. It may not seem like an exact crop activity, but the result is good enough. And then you may save the resulting creation as an independent image or place it over some background. Here’s how to do that.

Steps to Crop a Round Shape Using Word and MS Paint

We are going to take help of MS Word here. The concept comes from the fact that we can insert images within a shape that we create on MS Word (or even PowerPoint).

Microsoft Office For Mac

Step 1: Open the base image from which you want to crop a circular section. Crop a rectangular section on the area that you visualize for a round crop shape. Save this crop as an independent image. Here’s the sample crop that I saved.

Step 2: Open MS Word. Navigate to Insert tab ->Shapes and choose Oval (ellipse).

Step 3: On the MS Word canvas draw the shape with the size that you want. Hold Shift while drawing the shape; it helps to create a perfect circle.

Step 4: Keep the shape selected. Drawing Tools will get activated with a Format tab under it. Switch to Format and then choose Shape Fill -> Picture. Choose the picture that you saved in Step 1. Your picture will be inserted and contained flawlessly within the shape.

Step 5: Right-click on the shape and select Format AutoShape. Our aim here is to remove the shape border.

Step 6: Ensure to be on the Colors and Lines tab. Under Lines section, go to Color and select No Color. Click on Ok when you are done.

Step 7: Right-click on the resulting shape and Copy it on to the clipboard. You may do a Ctrl + C as well.

Step 8: Go back to MS Paint and paste the contents of the clipboard there. You may now save the image.

If you plan to paste this over a different background (other than white) make sure that Transparent selection is on before you paste the image.

Even with the plethora of prefabricated shapes to choose from in Office 2011’s Media browser, you may have a hankering for some good old-fashioned simple shapes, or maybe you want to try your hand at creating your own shapes. Mixed in with the shapes are three special tools that you can use to make your own lines and shapes: Curve, Freeform, and Scribble.

Try using the Curve tool first, and after you get the hang of that one, try Freeform and Scribble.

  1. Click the Media button on the Standard toolbar to display the Media browser, if it isn’t already visible.

  2. Click the Shapes tab and then choose Lines and Connectors from the pop-up menu.

  3. Click the Curve tool.

    The Curve tool is the one that looks like a handwritten S. When you select the Curve tool, the cursor changes into a plus sign (+) to signify it’s ready to start drawing a line as soon as you drag in the document, spreadsheet, or presentation.

  4. Click into your document and click the cursor as you move it; then move the cursor in another direction and click again.

    Your line continuously gets longer as you move the cursor around, until you double-click the mouse, which signifies the end of the line you’re drawing. Each time you click while you move the cursor, you create a point, which behaves as an axis for your line’s curves.

This sort of drawing creates Bézier curves. By doing a variation on the steps in the preceding section to create a curvy line, you can end at the same point you started and then double-click at the end of the line, which results in a closed path. When you create a closed path, you get a solid shape.

You can format lines and the borders of solid shapes with great precision. For the ultimate in precision control of your lines and shapes, right-click or Control-click your line or shape and then choose Edit Points from the pop-up menu. Each click you made when drawing the line displays as a point. Right-click a point to display the Edit Points menu. You get the same menu when working with a line or a shape.

When Edit Points is active, you can drag, add, and delete points as well as control exactly how the line behaves while it passes through each point. There’s still more! Right-click or Control-click right on top of a point. Notice the little handles that appear at the point. Drag the handles to control how the line passes through the point.
