Add paper cutouts to your designs: torn and trimmed paper with natural edges on transparent backgrounds for collage and handmade journal looks.
Start designingWhat makes a torn edge work?
A torn edge is deliberately irregular, and that is what makes it feel physical inside a digital layout of straight lines. A cutout tells the eye a hand made this, which drawn shapes struggle to imitate.
What can you design with them?
Collage and handmade journal designs
Backgrounds for text and quotes
Posts with a scrapbook feel
Cards and notes with a paper look
Magazine-style covers and stories
How do you use a cutout behind text?
Place it under the text so it extends slightly past the edges on both sides, then rotate it two or three degrees. Perfect alignment kills the handmade quality; the slight tilt is what convinces the eye it is real paper.
