Why Use Frames in Canva
One of the cool features available in Canva is the ability to use ready-made frames from their library!
Frames allow users to crop images (and even videos) to a specific frame shape. This is great because you can edit elements to focus on specific areas of the image and allow clean effects to enhance your unique designs!
It’s important to note that frames are different from the ones available in the main Canvas library. Borders are used to outline your designs and elements and cannot contain images within them. Frames, on the other hand, lets you choose a shaped frame and have your photos and items snap!
How to Add a Frame to your Project in Canva
While borders are great for adding that extra design touch to your page or part of your project, I think frames are the next step! If you’re looking to add an image to a Canva project and want it to match your design, this is the route for you!
Follow these steps to learn how to add frames to your project in Canva:
Step 1: First, log into Canva, and on the home screen open a new or existing project to work on.
Step 2: Just as you would add another design element to your project, navigate to the left side of the screen to the main toolbox and click on the Elements tab.
Step 3: To find available frames in the library, you can scroll down in the Items folder until you find the Frames label, or you can search for them in the search box by entering the relevant keyword to see all options. Decide which framework you want to use in your project!
Step 4: Once you have selected the frame shape you want to use in your design, click on it or drag and drop the frame onto your canvas. You can then adjust the size, position on the canvas, and orientation of the frame at any time.
