I would like to put an image inside a shape for a user persona (like the circle example on the left) I cannot find anywhere how to do it. I know it can be done as I have seen examples everywhere. Can anyone help?

Insert image then click the Crop Icon (which for whatever reason I can’t screenshot right now… odd) and select Circle.
That should do the job?
You can crop images in various shapes (e.g. a circle, square, etc.). Select the image, click the Crop icon in the context menu, and select a shape from the dropdown.
Hi Robert/Gavin,
how do I crop it to a shape defined by me rather than from the standard options on the dropdown (see below)

I don’t think that’s possible.
You could maybe do something similar by layering shapes together 🤔but as there is no masking mode (eg subtract or intersect) then you would probably be easier to use another tool to create the object and then bring that into Miro.
It would be quite cool if you could apply a shape as a mask.
Thanks for the response. I tried layering shapes initially which led to my question but was unsuccessful. No worries I will just use one of the standard shape templates instead.
Here’s it is in action (note: the yellow background was just there as a template for Instagram and is not required):
This is basically what I would as things stand.
