Which sparkle to use
- Classic and soft sparkles — the four-point star from the ✨ emoji. Put one or two on a product photo, a thumbnail or next to a headline.
- Flare and burst — a sharp glint of light, like a reflection on jewelry, glass or a car. Place it where the light would actually hit.
- Cluster — one large sparkle with two small ones. Works in a corner of a photo or a story.
- Divider and frame — rows and borders of sparkles for invitations, menus and section breaks.
- Overlay — sparkles scattered across the whole square. Lay it over a photo and lower the opacity to 60–80% for a dreamy look.
Tips for a natural look
Use fewer sparkles than you think — two or three in the right spots look better than twenty. Match the color to the light in the photo: gold for warm indoor scenes, white or silver for daylight and snow. In editors that support blend modes, set the sparkle layer to Screen or Add so the glow brightens what is underneath instead of covering it.
