Tips for Perfect Hexagon Crops

Hexagon crops have a distinctly modern, tech-oriented feel. The flat-top orientation of the hexagon works well with landscape photos where the horizon aligns with the top edge. For team member badges and avatar grids, hexagons tile together beautifully — their six-sided shape creates honeycomb patterns that fill space without the gaps you get with circles. Center your subject carefully within the hexagon, as the angled edges can crop the corners of wider images. A thin border (2-3 px) helps define the hexagonal edge clearly, especially in badge designs where distinct shape boundaries matter.

Geometric Polygons Available

Beyond the hexagon, the editor offers a full range of geometric polygon masks: pentagon (5 sides), heptagon (7 sides), octagon (8 sides), nonagon (9 sides), decagon (10 sides), and dodecagon (12 sides). More sides create shapes that increasingly resemble circles while maintaining distinct polygonal edges. Pentagons are popular for achievement badges, octagons for authority-signaling content, and dodecagons for near-circular geometric frames with subtle faceted edges.

Best Export Formats for Hexagon Images

For hexagonal badges and avatars, PNG with transparency is essential — it keeps the area outside the hexagon invisible so the shape floats cleanly on any background. WebPis ideal for web-based gaming avatars and social media badges. SVG export preserves the exact hexagonal mask for design software precision. For print applications like physical badges or merchandise, export as PNG at maximum resolution.
