How to mask an image with Active Storage and mini_magick

I'm trying to create an avatar that is circular instead of a rectangle.
The rails code below successfully resizes and crops the image. I'm using Active Storage to upload the file. However I'm struggling to apply a mask to it.
I was trying to composite and use the mini_magick_clip gem, but neither works. Maybe it's just a syntax error, but I couldn't find any examples on the web.
Do you have suggestions on how best to achieve such a circular avatar?
# app/models/comment.rb
class Signature < ApplicationRecord
has_one_attached :image
require "mini_magick"
# require "mini_magick_clip"
def avatar
mask = MiniMagick::Image.open "public/mask.png"
upload = self.image
avatar = upload.variant(
combine_options: {
resize: "160x160^",
gravity: "center",
extent: "160x160",
# mask: mask,
}
).processed
end
endruby-on-rails mask minimagick rails-activestorage

I'd suggest storing and serving your avatars in their original shape. It's easy to make them look circular (or whatever shape you want) using CSS. You can find related question here and an example here.

Thank you! But it's not a good solution, because I want to use these images in email signatures, and some email applications do not support advanced CSS. It has to be as basic as possible for maximum compatibility.

Well, in that case CSS really isn't the right solution.
