To edit an imported image in Canva, you first need to upload it and then select it for editing. Here's how:
-
Upload the Image:
- Click Choose Photos within your Canva project.
- To upload a new image, click Upload new images. You can typically select multiple images (up to 10) at once.
- Alternatively, if you've previously uploaded the image to Canva, click Select from uploads.
-
Select and Edit:
-
Once the image is uploaded or selected, it will appear on your Canva canvas.
-
Click on the image to select it. This will activate the editing toolbar above or around the image.
-
From the toolbar, you can perform various edits, including:
- Adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, and other visual elements. Canva offers a suite of photo editing tools similar to those found in more advanced photo editing software.
- Applying filters: Choose from a range of pre-set filters to quickly change the image's look and feel.
- Cropping and resizing: Change the image's dimensions or focus on a specific area.
- Adding effects: Apply special effects like duotone or color mix.
- Removing the background: Use Canva Pro's background remover tool to isolate the subject of the image.
- Adding text and other elements: Overlay text, shapes, illustrations, and other graphics onto the image.
-
-
Save Your Changes:
- Canva automatically saves your work as you go, so there's no need to manually save. Your edited image is now ready to be used in your design.
By following these steps, you can easily edit any imported image directly within Canva.
