@naboovalley As long as the background is just a solid color, you don't have to do anything complex like CSS masking etc – just use `border-radius` and `overflow: hidden`, which should be bulletproof at this point :)

Yes. That's the best solution without touching the image.

<p>Is it possible for me to create an image transformation that generates a cirle cropped thumbnail?</p>

<p>Just like this:</p>
