Clipping masks
Learn how to use clipping masks - cut out images in a particular form or shape
Clipping masks are amazing! They allow you to easily crop an image to the shape you applied. They can easily make a design look more professional in seconds.
Here's how to apply clipping masks to your designs in Flipsnack's Design Studio:
-
For example, say you want to have a round image in your design, but the image you want to apply is square by default. Just select a round shape from the Shapes tab in our Design Studio.
-
Situate your shape in the desired place in the flipbook, then check the Use as mask option from the top menu.
-
Now your shape can be used as a mask, all that's left to do is for you to select the perfect image from the Images tab, drag it and drop it on your mask.
