Adjust the image layer's size and position to match the design you want to set up.
Select the features you want. Persify offers a variety of options suitable for personalizing your product:

Grayscale

Activate this feature to automatically convert uploaded photos to black and white.

Image Mask

Enable this feature to automatically crop uploaded photos into a custom shape you have set in your artwork. Once the photo is uploaded, it will display within the image's black mask.

The image mask must be a PNG file, and it is recommended to use solid black for the shape.

Depend on another layer

Enable the current layer to be dependent on other layers, ensuring identical attributes, allowing you to customize once and apply it across various layers.
e.g., layer B depends on Layer A, select image on Layer A will result in the same image appearing on Layer B.

To allows layer settings from one template to be applied to others that share the same layer ID within the artwork, click on Apply To all templates
