1. make sure there is alpha in the image so we can save a square image that looks like a circle 2. make a circular selection with the ellipse selection tool (hold shift to ensure a circle) 3. invert the selection, (press ctrl+i) this selects everything but the circle so we can delete it 4. delete (just press the delete key) 5. invert the selction (ctrl+i again), this selects the circle again 6. crop to selection (Image->Crop to Selection) 7. canvas size to selection (Image->Fit Canvas to Selection) 7b. optionally now, depending on your application, you can feather the selection to make a more gradual edge. You can play with the number of pixels and use ctrl+z to undo in between. 8. Save it/Export it with a new name.
