How do I use image shapes?
Shape options vary by frame. Here is what works where.
Foreground images (in Article and Text Banner sections) support shape clipping for visual variety. Available shapes depend on the frame's aspect ratio:
- Wide (16:9) and Landscape (4:3): square, softened, rounded.
- Portrait (3:4) and Square (1:1): square, softened, rounded, oval.
- Circle: shape options are hidden, as the frame itself is already a circle.
Pick a frame first, then a shape. The editor will only show the shapes that work with your chosen frame.
