The Simple Outline effect creates a basic outline around objects by detecting edges in your image.
Warning
This effect is very performance intensive at high thickness values.
How it works
Simple Outline works by detecting edges based on transparency differences between neighboring pixels. The effect samples pixels around each point and creates an outline where transparent areas meet non-transparent areas.
For more advanced outline capabilities with better quality and control, consider using the Advanced Outline effect.
Use cases
- adding basic outlines to text or simple shapes
- creating cartoon-style edge highlighting
