Flutter Network Image does not fit in Circular Avatar
ImageDartFlutterFlutter LayoutImage Problem Overview
I am trying to retrieve bunch of images from an api. I want the images to be displayed in Circular form so I am using CircleAvatar Widget, but I keep getting images in square format.
Here is a screenshot of images
Here is the code I am using
ListTile(leading: CircleAvatar(child: Image.network("${snapshot.data.hitsList[index].previewUrl}",fit: BoxFit.scaleDown,)),),
I tryied using all the properties of BoxFit like cover, contain,fitWidth,fitHeight etc but none of them works.
Image Solutions
Solution 1 - Image
This Will Work : You need to use backgroundImage:property in order to fit it in Circle.
CircleAvatar(
radius: 30.0,
backgroundImage:
NetworkImage("${snapshot.data.hitsList[index].previewUrl}"),
backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
)
To Check with Dummy Placeholder:
CircleAvatar(
radius: 30.0,
backgroundImage:
NetworkImage('https://via.placeholder.com/150'),
backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
)

Had a similar problem in the AppBar actions widget list.
This worked for me:
CircleAvatar(
radius: 18,
child: ClipOval(
child: Image.network(
'image-url',
),
),
),
Solution 3 - Image
If you don't want to use CircleAvatar, here is how you can do it.
ClipOval(
child: Image.network(
'https://via.placeholder.com/150',
width: 100,
height: 100,
fit: BoxFit.cover,
),
),
Solution 4 - Image
if someone intends to create bordered circular image try this.
Using ClipOval widget is not perfect solution because if images are not square result will be elliptic.
CircleAvatar(radius: (52),
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
child: ClipRRect(
borderRadius:BorderRadius.circular(50),
child: Image.asset("assets/pictures/profile.png"),
)
)
ClipRRect widget prevents image to overflow CircleAvatar widget.
Solution 5 - Image
You will need to use NetworkImage, AssetImage, FileImage, MemoryImage or something similar. You can't directly use Image.network, Image.asset or similar due to how Flutter architects its image classes.
An example:
CircleAvatar(
radius: 100.0,
backgroundImage: NetworkImage(...),
)
backgroundImage in CircleAvatar expects to receive an ImageProvider as a parameter. However, Image.network and others don't directly extend the ImageProvider class, they merely extend the StatefulWidget class, even though they use NetworkImage inside. That is why you see in the other answers that ClipOval or ClipRRect is being used. These classes accept a Widget and so they're not as particular as CircleAvatar and similar classes are.
Instead of these workarounds, therefore, for CircleAvatar, you should use NetworkImage and similar classes and for widgets that expect just a Widget, you can use Image.network and similar.
Another reason not to use clips is that they can be more expensive than changing the border radii directly: https://flutter.dev/docs/perf/rendering/best-practices
Solution 6 - Image
You can do it like this ways
Create a user Avtar class
class Avatar extends StatelessWidget {
Avatar(
this.user,
);
final UserModel user;
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
if ((user?.photoUrl == '') || (user?.photoUrl == null)) {
return LogoGraphicHeader();
}
return Hero(
tag: 'User Avatar Image',
child: CircleAvatar(
foregroundColor: Colors.blue,
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
radius: 70.0,
child: ClipOval(
child: Image.network(
user?.photoUrl,
fit: BoxFit.cover,
width: 120.0,
height: 120.0,
),
)),
);
}
}
And use it like this
Avatar(controller.firestoreUser.value),
Solution 7 - Image
CircleAvatar(
radius: 26,
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
child: ClipOval(
child: _bytesImage == null
? new Text('No image value.')
: Image.memory(
_bytesImage,
width: 60,
height: 60,
fit: BoxFit.cover,
),
),
),
Solution 8 - Image
simply use backgroundImage inside CircleAvatar
CircleAvatar(
backgroundImage: AssetImage("assets/images/dia.jpg",),
),
Solution 9 - Image
this work for me
CircleAvatar(
child: ClipRRect(
borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(100.0),
child:Image.network("https://www.rd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/01-shutterstock_476340928-Irina-Bg-1024x683.jpg"),
),),
Solution 10 - Image
If anyone is trying to fit a circular image in app bar actions. Try below solution it should work.
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: AspectRatio(
aspectRatio: 1,
child: CircleAvatar(
backgroundImage: NetworkImage('https://picsum.photos/seed/picsum/200/500'),
),
),
)
AspectRatio first tries the largest width permitted by the layout constraints(here the appbar). If I remove the padding image radius will be of appbar size. So add padding to control the size of circular image.
Solution 11 - Image
Wrap your CircleAvatar widget under Stack widget.
return Stack(
children: [
CircleAvatar(
radius: 50.0,
backgroundImage: NetworkImage(
'https://i.pinimg.com/474x/0c/eb/c3/0cebc3e2a01fe5abcff9f68e9d2a06e4.jpg'),
),
],
);
Solution 12 - Image
Here is a round picture with a shadow:
child: AspectRatio(
aspectRatio: 1/1,
child: Container(
margin: EdgeInsets.all(
10.0
),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(100.0),
boxShadow:[
BoxShadow(
color: Color.fromARGB(60, 0, 0, 0),
blurRadius: 5.0,
offset: Offset(5.0, 5.0)
)
],
image: DecorationImage(
fit: BoxFit.cover,
image: NetworkImage(user.image)
)
)
)
)
Solution 13 - Image
I had the same problem
CircleAvatar(
radius: 30.0,
backgroundImage: NetworkImage(imageURL),
backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
));
fixed my issue.
Solution 14 - Image
ClipOval(
child: Image.asset(
'assets/dummy.jpg',
fit: BoxFit.contain,
matchTextDirection: true,
height: 50,
))
Solution 15 - Image
Use combination of width/height, fit and wrap image in ClipOval like below:
CircleAvatar(
child: ClipOval(
child: Image.network(
_photo,
width: 120,
fit: BoxFit.fill
),
),
radius: 50,
),
Solution 16 - Image
If you want to show your image covering whole width of circle avatar then you can use it like this way. And if your image didnot load then it will show default person icon.
CircleAvatar(
child: ClipOval(
child: Center(
child: _image == null
? Icon(
Icons.person,
color: Colors.grey.shade700,
size: 100,
)
: Image.file(
_image,
fit: BoxFit.cover,
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
),
),
),
radius: 50,
backgroundColor: Colors.grey.shade300,
),
Solution 17 - Image
I had the same problem. Using clipoval in circle avatar will make it elliptical. But this fixed this issue.
CircleAvatar(
radius:25.0,
backgroundImage: NetworkImage(
'${image_url}',
),
backgroundColor: Colors.blue,
),
Solution 18 - Image
It took a few tries to figure this one out.. All these answers did not help me. In the end picture that I inserted into the circle avatar was stretched out to the boundaries of the container that was 2 instances above it. Maybe there are are people who, after going through the answers here, still have the problem that I had. I solved the constraint issue with a FittedBox
GestureDetector(
onTap: () => getImage(),
child: Container(
width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.orange,
),
//padding: EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
child: Container(
width: 140,
height: 160,
child: FittedBox(
child: picture(),
)),
),
),
This is the code for the picture() that I use. I think that the container inside the picture() is not necessary anymore, try it yourself :)
Widget picture() {
if (_image == null) {
return CircleAvatar(
radius: 70,
child: Icon(
Icons.person,
size: 150,
color: Colors.grey[900],
));
} else {
return Container(
width: 140,
height: 140,
child: CircleAvatar(
radius: 70,
backgroundImage: FileImage(_image),
),
);
}

CachedNetworkImage(
placeholder: (context, url) => Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
),
errorWidget: (context, url, error) =>
new Icon(Icons.error),
imageBuilder: (context, imageProvider) => Container(
width: 60.0,
height: 60.0,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
shape: BoxShape.circle,
image: DecorationImage(
image: imageProvider,
fit: BoxFit.contain))),
fit: BoxFit.contain,
imageUrl:
"${Constants.MEDIA_LINK}${state.review.company.logo}"),
Solution 20 - Image
in this solution you can resize the image by container and clip image by clip Oval then add shadow to the image by card.
Container(
width: 100,
height: 100,
child: InkWell(
onTap: () {},
child: Card(
elevation: 5,
shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
side: BorderSide(color: Colors.grey),
borderRadius: const BorderRadius.all(
Radius.circular(45.0),
),
),
child: Container(
child: ClipOval(
child: CachedNetworkImage(
imageUrl: '{image-url}',
imageBuilder: (context, imageProvider) => Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
image: DecorationImage(
image: imageProvider,
fit: BoxFit.fill,
),
),
),
placeholder: (context, url) => Container(
height: 5,
width: 5,
child: CircularProgressIndicator(
valueColor: AlwaysStoppedAnimation<Color>(Colors.blue),
),
),
errorWidget: (context, url, error) => Icon(Icons.error),
)),
),
),
));

Below worked in my case:
child: new CircleAvatar(
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
child: ClipRect(
child: Image.network(
'url-to-image',
fit: BoxFit.cover,
),
),
)

Came here as I also had the issue with CirclAvatar and AppBar, where the image would stretch in height. Instead of a radius, as I'm not able to provide it with the component I'm using, I just wrapped the image with a colum when used in appbar. This makes the image not stretch in height. This way I can always control size from the outside too
Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
SizedBox(height: 40, width: 40, child: ProfileBadge(),),
],
)
Solution 24 - Image
Use AvatarView lib https://pub.dev/packages/avatar_view which provides the functionality to show network/asset images in circular/rectangular form.
To use add below dependency
dependencies:
avatar_view: ^1.0.0+3
Example:
AvatarView(
radius: 60,
borderColor: Colors.yellow,
avatarType: AvatarType.CIRCLE,
backgroundColor: Colors.red,
imagePath:
"https://images.pexels.com/photos/415829/pexels-photo-415829.jpeg?cs=srgb&dl=pexels-pixabay-415829.jpg",
placeHolder: Container(
child: Icon(Icons.person, size: 50,),
),
errorWidget: Container(
child: Icon(Icons.error, size: 50,),
),
),
It also provide funtionality to add borders around widget, for more example visit above link

this worked for me
Transform.scale(
scale: 0.6,
child: ClipOval(
child: Image.network(
<IMAGE URL HERE>,
),
),
)
