Basic Shapes & Lines

Enhance your shapes on Piktochart for further customization! You can:

  • Add borders
  • Tweak the border style
  • Add corner roundness
  • Border weight and color to your liking
  • Apply border modifications to multiple shapes all at once

You can only apply borders to shapes added from the Basic Shapes and Lines menu in the Graphics tab. It's not possible to apply borders to other Icon styles.

Common Question


How can I create a transparent fill for a basic shape in Piktochart?

Currently, it's not possible to make the fill of a basic shape fully transparent using the shape tool.

As a workaround, go to the Graphics > Icons tab and search for a shape like a square with a transparent fill.
