How to cut a square picture into a circle

[qiaoabcd]

The images THAT I use in the game come from the web, and they're all square,  How do I crop an image to a circle once it's loaded into the game, or is there a way to crop it to a circle before loading it

To do this in Phaser, you need to looking at 'masking' in some way. Either apply a circular mask to your squares when drawing (every screen update), or pre-render the masked image to another texture and use that.
