You can use squares, circles, stars, or any other shape). To clip an image (assuming you’ve imported your image to Inkscape), first create the shape you’ll be using to clip or “cut” your image. This first method for cropping images allows you to cut out a shape using Inkscape.īy creating geometric shapes and then clipping your image, you can easily cut out any shape you want on a jpeg or any other raster file, including circular, rectangular, triangular, and elliptical shapes. With clipping, you can crop in Inkscape by using regular shapes, objects such as text, or paths. It’s like using a cookie cutter to create a cookie from dough. The clip operation in Inkscape lets you place a vector shape, object or path on top of an image in order to “clip” or cut a portion of that image according to the shape used.
