The postage-stamp edge, and how it is made
The scallops bite inward
Each wave is a curve cut into the image rather than a bump added outside it. That is a constraint of masking, not a style choice — a mask can only remove pixels, so an outward bulge would just be empty canvas. The result is the classic perforated postage-stamp look.
Scallops and depth
Scallops sets how many waves run along each edge; more of them reads as perforation, fewer as a hand-torn deckle edge. Depth sets how far each one cuts in, and it is capped relative to the image so the waves can never meet in the middle.
Transparent bites
The removed areas are transparent, so the edge works over any background. On a white page the effect is nearly invisible — it needs a coloured or textured backdrop to read at all.
The frame is kept
Unlike the circle and star masks, this one keeps the full rectangle and only works on the boundary. Nothing is cropped and no aspect ratio changes.
Watch the edges of your content
Anything sitting close to the border — a caption, a signature, part of a subject — is what the scallops eat first. Add padding before applying the edge if the composition runs tight.

What people use it for
The jobs the editor was built around — and what it does differently on each one.
Colourways you can revisit
Every edit is a layer, not a bake. When the brand shifts, reopen the file and change the colour rather than rebuilding the variant from the original.
Cutouts with awkward edges
AI background removal that keeps hair, foliage and soft shadows instead of stamping a hard outline around them. The output is a transparent PNG, ready to place.
No export, edit, re-import loop
The Framer plugin runs on the canvas you are already working in, so a recolour or a cutout does not mean a round trip through a second application.
Ten options in the time one used to take
Recolour once and step through the alternatives, so a client review can look at the whole range instead of the one version there was time to make.
Brand colours matched exactly
Pick a colour straight off an existing asset and get the hex, rather than eyeballing it against a screenshot and hoping it is close enough.
Free to preview, priced per export
Previewing is unlimited and costs nothing. A credit is spent only when you download a full-resolution file, so exploring an idea is never the expensive part.
