The short answer
Why use Rounded Corners?
Screenshots and product shots look softer with rounded corners, but most quick editors cannot cut corners to transparency. This gives you a ready PNG with the radius you want.
Size is the corner radius, from 1 to 160 pixels, starting at 24. It is measured in pixels of your original image, so the same setting looks very different on a 600 pixel icon and a 3000 pixel screenshot. On large images, push the slider toward 160 to get a curve you can actually see at normal viewing size.
All four corners get the same radius, and the image keeps its width and height. The trimmed corners are transparent, so the result must stay a PNG. There is no color setting, because the corners are always cut to transparency rather than filled. To get colored corners, place the PNG on a colored background in your design app.
Circle Crop cuts a round shape out of the middle of the photo instead of softening the corners. Add Border puts a frame around the image, and Shadow adds a soft drop shadow. A common order for screenshots is Rounded Corners first, then Shadow, so the shadow follows the rounded outline instead of square corners.

Rounded Corners tips

- A radius of half the shorter side turns a square into a circle.
- Run Shadow afterwards for an app-store style screenshot.
- Send the PNG as a file in chat apps so the corners stay clear.
