How Do I Create a Shape Outline in Canva?

Published in Canva Design 2 mins read

Creating a shape outline in Canva is a simple process that involves adding a border to your chosen shape and then customizing it.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Add a Shape: From the Canva editor, go to the "Elements" tab and search for the shape you want to use (e.g., circle, square, triangle). Drag and drop the shape onto your design.

  2. Select the Shape: Click on the shape to select it.

  3. Adjust the Border: Look for the "Border Style" option in the toolbar at the top of the Canva editor. If you don't see it directly, look for a "Lines" or "Border" option, which might be represented by a line icon. Click on the "Border Style" option.

  4. Choose a Border Style: You can select from various border styles, such as solid, dashed, or dotted lines.

  5. Set the Border Weight: Adjust the "Border Weight" (or "Line Weight") to make the outline thicker or thinner. You'll usually find a slider or number input field for this.

  6. Change the Border Color: Choose the "Border Color" option (often represented by a color swatch) and select the color you want for your outline.

In Summary:

To create a shape outline in Canva, add your shape, select it, find the border style options, choose a border style, adjust the border weight (thickness), and select your desired border color.
