Circular images with CSS

#css

A trend which, while it has been around for a while, seems to be showing up more and more these days is circular images. These are quite easy to do using border-radius, and below you can see how. You can either use a background-image in CSS, or add the border-radius to an img tag, which I prefer.

We'll use this picture of William Shakespeare.

.circular {
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    border-radius: 150px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 150px;
    -moz-border-radius: 150px;
}


<!-- regular image -->
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/jZN7xit.jpg">

<!-- circular image -->
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/jZN7xit.jpg" class="circular">

And the output:

One thing to bear in mind is that the border-radius must be half the height and width in order to make the image circular. Width & height equal 300px, border-radius equals 150px. Width & height equal 600px, border-radius equals 300px.
