Images: Stock Photos, Logos and Cropping

Add stock photos or your own images, crop them to shapes, remove backgrounds, and add borders and motion.

Click Media in the Add to your project row. Add media opens in the panel on Photos, with Stock, Uploads and Recent underneath. Search the stock library, narrow it with Filters, or switch to Uploads for your own pictures. Click a photo to add it.

Crop, and crop to a shape

The Crop image dialog with the crop box and a shape picker

Click Crop on the photo's thumbnail in the panel. Drag the frame, or its corners, to choose what shows. The Shape menu under the frame crops the photo to a shape — a circle, a blob, a speech bubble and so on — and the boxes beside it take exact numbers. Click Update when you're done.

The panel's thumbnail also has a magic wand, which removes a photo's background and saves the result in your uploads.

Settings

  • Mask fades the photo out at its edges.
  • Border draws a border around it, with its own color and width.
  • Shadow adds a shadow behind it.
  • Opacity % makes it see-through.
  • Pan and zoom drifts or zooms the photo slowly while it's on screen video only.
  • Replace swaps in another photo, keeping the place, size and timing.
  • Alt sets the description used for accessibility.

Drag the photo to move it, drag a corner to resize it, and use Position and size for exact numbers.
