Why should I add rounded corners to my images?
Rounded corners might seem like a small design tweak, but they have several subtle (yet impactful) benefits:
- Create a softer, more approachable look: Hard edges can feel harsh or rigid, whereas rounded corners make images feel more friendly and modern.
- Match your brand aesthetic: If your Confluence pages use rounded elements (like buttons or cards), rounding image corners keeps everything visually cohesive.
- Improve visual flow: Rounded corners help a user’s eye move more naturally around the page.
- Help images blend into layouts: Images with rounded corners can feel more “integrated” into their containers than those with harsh edges.
Key takeaways:
- Rounded corners help to improve flow and create a more modern, “friendly” look on your page.
- Adding custom colours in Confluence Cloud is much quicker and easier than in Server or Data Center.
- With the Background macro, included in Mosaic, you can format text and imagery quickly, and without any design or coding experience.
