When to Use Image Highlighting
Professional tips for making your portfolio images stand out in every context.
Job Applications
When applying to design or development roles, your portfolio is your proof. Use lens effects to highlight the craftsmanship in your work—pixel-perfect spacing, thoughtful micro-interactions, or clever code solutions. Recruiters spend an average of 6 seconds on each portfolio—make every detail count.
Product Launches
Launching on Product Hunt or showing investors? Focus mode helps you create clean product shots that direct attention to key features. Blur distracting elements and let your product shine. Great for landing pages, pitch decks, and social announcements.
Case Studies
Document your design process with highlighted screenshots. Show before/after comparisons, call out specific improvements, or zoom into details that demonstrate your problem-solving approach. Essential for Behance, Dribbble, and portfolio websites.
Social Media Content
Create scroll-stopping visuals for Twitter, LinkedIn, or Instagram. Highlighted images grab attention in crowded feeds. Show your work in progress, celebrate shipped features, or share design tips with clear visual examples.
Great Images Deserve Motion
You've highlighted your best work. Now turn those images into a stunning video portfolio that gets 3x more engagement than static images.
