Can Canva Make Stencils?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 7:26 pm

Whether you’re a professional graphic designer or just someone who likes to play around with images, Canva is a great online tool. And one of the things you can do with Canva is make stencils.

A stencil is essentially a template that you can use to create a design. And while you can find plenty of free stencils online, sometimes it’s nice to be able to create your own.

With Canva, creating a stencil is easy. First, you need to find an image that you want to use as a base for your stencil. It can be anything – a photo, an illustration, even just a plain white background.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great platform for creating digital designs, but it is not meant for making stencils. If you try to use Canva to make a stencil, the results will likely be disappointing. The shapes and lines in Canva are not meant to be cut out and used as templates.

Once you have your image, open it in Canva and select the “Stencil” tool from the left-hand sidebar. This will bring up a menu of options for how you want your stencil to look.

You can choose to have your stencil be black and white, or colorized. You can also adjust the opacity, so that your design will be visible through the stencil.

Once you’re happy with how your stencil looks, simply download it and print it out. Then you can use it over and over again to create whatever designs you like!

So if you’re looking for an easy way to make custom stencils, Canva is definitely the way to go.
