Custom shapes cropping

You can crop an image based on any custom shape. Do this by having your own custom image as a mask for cropping, setting the overlay parameter as your mask image's public ID and setting the flags parameter to cutter (in URLs: l_<mask_image>,fl_cutter).

Use images as text textures

Instead of coloring your text with a solid color, fill it with an image and give it an interesting texture. How? Choose an image as your text texture, dynamically add a text overlay as explained in the Dynamic text overlay blog post, and set the flags parameter to cutter (fl_cutter in URLs).
