How to Use Images and Fonts in Templates

Image layers use assets uploaded to your Shred Scopes account. Text layers use the fonts available in the template font picker.

Add an image layer

  1. Upload the PNG or JPEG on "Image Assets" if it is not already available.
  2. Open the template in Studio.
  3. Add an "image" layer.
  4. Choose the required image asset.
  5. Set its position, size, rotation, opacity, fit or crop behavior, and any available clipping controls.
  6. Save the custom template.

The template keeps a reference to the account image. Deleting that asset can leave the layer without a usable source. When opening a custom template with an image layer with an image file you deleted, you'll be able to re-link that file in the layer configuration.

You can drag an image from your computer directly onto the template editor to create a new image layer.

Choose a font

  1. Select a text, arc-text, or data-text layer.
  2. Open its font control.
  3. Choose an available font and weight.
  4. Adjust sizing and spacing after the font loads.

Different fonts produce different glyph widths and baselines. Recheck alignment, boxes, and arc placement after switching.

For a data-text layer, use its fitting or sizing controls so speed, altitude, distance, or time values do not unexpectedly overflow the design.
