How To Crop In Canva: Step-By-Step Instructions

Are you trying to crop an image?

It could be that you want to resize the photo to fit the exact dimensions required for your project or you may simply be trying to edit out unwanted visual elements at the edges of the background of your image.

Before we start, I must point out that you can’t crop GIFs and embeds on the platform. Its pictures and frames can be reformatted using the Canva crop tool.

Here is how it is done:

  1. Upload the photo to Canva

  2. Crop the image

  3. Download your design

Step 1: Upload The Photo To Canva

First, log into the platform or create a new account to access the dashboard.

On the home screen, find and click the Create a Design button at the top-right corner of your page.

Step 2: Crop The Image

Once your image is in place, all you need to do to crop is.

Press edit photo

Click on to crop

Crop your photo to the correct size and once ready press done.

Step 3: Download Your Design

You can download your image in a wide variety of formats, including PNG, JPG, and JPEG. I recommend the PNG format to ensure you are getting a high-quality photo.

Here is how to download images on the desktop version of the platform:

  • From the menu bar, click Share > Download

  • Then, select the download format you want to use from the download

  • To finish, click Done > Download

On mobile devices:

  • Tap Export > Download from the menu bar

  • Now, select your preferred download format from the dropdown

  • To finish, click Done > Download
