I'm making a circle with a radius of 400 pixels, the edge of it looks like this:



But the look I'm trying to achieve is a circle with hard edges, meaning no transparency, the edge of it would then look like this:



So how do I do it?

Circle fill is pretty simple. All you have to do is take the Ellipse tool and set the Tool mode to Pixels and turn Anti-alias off.





Circle stroke is not as simple. Now I'm not pixel art master, but I'd say that the best way in Photoshop might be this:

Making a circle stroke manually


Create circle Shape
Copy & paste
Free transform the second circle smaller (Cmd + T)
In Path operations: Subtract front shape
Right-click inside the document > Define custom shape


Just like I explained above, but this time take Shape tool and set the Tool mode to Pixels and turn Anti-alias off.



Note that in the gif, I had a small document zoomed to 300%, so the circle looks pretty rough. The bigger the circle, the better it looks.
