About Torn Edge

Torn Edge masks the photo with a hand-torn paper silhouette so its borders read as deckled, scrapbook edges instead of a clean crop — good for editorial layouts, mood boards, and personal galleries. Switch --ifx-tear between the Subtle, Classic, and Rough presets to dial the deckle (the mask geometry is baked per preset because CSS masks can't read numeric variables) and raise --ifx-tear-inset to push the tear deeper into the image. The mask trims a few pixels off every edge, so avoid tight crops where edge content is essential. It is a static CSS mask: identical on touch and needs no reduced-motion handling.
