Creating a circular image is a simple yet effective design technique to enhance the visual appeal of your page.
By setting a border radius of 50%, you can transform square or rectangular images into perfect circles, adding a sleek and modern look to your design.
Example Use Cases of Circular Images in Page Design
Circular images not only add a modern and stylish look but also help draw attention to key visuals. By applying the Border Radius setting, you can transform standard images into eye-catching round shapes.
Common use cases include:
- Profile photos: Create a professional and friendly appearance.
- Icons or logos: Highlight brand identity in a minimal yet polished way.
- Decorative elements: Add a subtle design touch that breaks away from boxy layouts.
This simple design trick ensures your page feels more balanced, engaging, and visually appealing.
