Yes, you can copy a circular selection from a photo using the Preview.app. Then use Preview to create a new phot with a transparent background from the copied selection.

  • In Preview use the command "View > Show Markup Toolbar"
  • Use the elliptical selection tool.
  • Use ⌘C to copy the selection.
  • Go to the File menu: File > New from Clipboard

Now you will have a circular image on a transparent background. Save it as a PNG file.
