Oddly enough, instructions on how to make a photo oval or with rounded edges are much easier to find on the Internet than a description of cropping with a straight cut of the corners. Such an operation requires more steps, although they are all fairly simple. It can be implemented, for example, using the graphics editor Adobe Photoshop.

Instructions
Step 1
Load the photo you want to crop into a picture editor. This can be done in different ways, but the easiest way is to drag the file into the program window with the mouse.
Step 2
In the layers panel, create a copy of the only - background - image layer. If you do not see this panel in the editor interface, turn it on with the F7 key. Click on the layer line in the panel and press the key combination Ctrl + J. After that, there will be two layers. Turn off the visibility of the background - click on the icon with the image of an eye on this line. This layer can come in handy - you can take another copy of it if the need arises.
Step 3
Turn on the "Rectangular Marquee" tool - press the M (Russian "b") key. Then select a square in the middle of the photo of such a size that the length of its side is no less than the length of the corner cut you need. To make the area exactly square, not rectangular, move the cursor to the upper left corner of the selected area and press the Shift key. While holding it, press the left mouse button and move the cursor to the lower right corner of the square. Then release both buttons.
Step 4
Rotate the selection 45 °. To do this, first open the "Selection" section in the menu and select "Transform Selection" in it. Along the bottom or top edge of the editor window is the "Options" panel. Find a window on it for entering the angle of rotation in degrees - when you hover the mouse pointer over it, the tooltip "Angle of rotation" pops up. Enter the number 45 in the window.
Step 5
Move the rotated square to the upper right corner with the mouse, leaving the corner you want to cut selected in the photo. Press the Delete key, and one corner can be considered processed. Use another selection tool, the Magic Wand, to make the trimmed areas of the remaining corners exactly the same. Turn it on by pressing the W key and click the cut triangle with the left mouse button. The selection of the square area will disappear and will remain triangular.
Step 6
Mirror the triangular selection and cut out the top right corner of the photo. To do this, once again select the item "Transform the selection" in the section "Selection", then open the section "Editing" and in the subsection "Transform" select the command "Flip horizontally". Move the rotated triangular selection to the upper left corner of the image and press first Enter and then Delete. Now two corners will be cut off.
Step 7
Press the Shift key and click the previously cut right corner - this will select the two upper triangles at once. Mirror both vertically - repeat the operation from the previous step, but in the Transform subsection select the Flip Vertically command. Then move both selected areas to the bottom edge and press the Delete key to cut out both bottom corners.
Step 8
Save the processed photo by calling the corresponding dialog using the "Save As" command from the "File" section in the editor's menu.
