Clipping masks: how to cut images into a custom shape

Crop a square photo into a round or custom outline instantly

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.
