To make round corners in an image or shape, first create or open your design file.

The built-in frames act like a mask, so anything outside of that frame will be cut out. But what if something in your image is cut out that you don’t want to be cut out?
In this case, you can use the crop function.
To use the crop function, select the image and click on the Edit Photo option from the top bar, and then click the Crop Tab, or simply double-click on the image and adjust the cropped portion of your image according to your desired output.
Once satisfied, click the ‘Done’ button to save the final result.
