Select the image, right-click, and go to Arrange > Send to Back. Because we want the text to be the clipping mask, we will move the image behind the text. In Illustrator, the clipping mask is the topmost layer. With the image still selected, though you may no longer be able to see your image, click on the Horizontal Align Center and Vertical Align Center buttons either in the top toolbar or in the Align panel. Make sure the aspect ratio (chain icon) is locked and enter a new width. If the image needs to be resized, tap Transform in the top toolbar. We used a tropical beach sunset photo from Design Bundles. In the Place dialog box, select the image and click Place. You can add text using the Text Tool (T) or create a shape using one of the shape tools. We added the text "DESIGN BUNDLES" and aligned it to the center of the canvas. When the clipping mask is made, the clipping mask will have no fill or stroke. Method 1 - Select Objects and Make Clipping MaskĪ clipping mask can be any vector object. The clipping mask and its masked objects together are called a clipping set, and a clipping set can be made with two or more selected objects. The text objects in this tutorial will be the clipping masks, while the photos will be the masked objects, and only areas inside the text/clipping mask will be seen. If you’d like to follow along, we will be using a rounded sans serif font called Homeland in addition to some nature photos mentioned throughout the tutorial. We will go over how to make, edit, and release a clipping mask. Creating and using clipping masks in Illustrator is very useful as it's a non-destructive method of editing. In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a clipping mask in Illustrator.
