Can You Recolor an Image in Canva?

Last updated on November 29, 2022 @ 7:29 pm

Recoloring an image in Canva is a quick and easy way to change the look of your design. With a few clicks, you can change the color of an image to match your brand or style. Here’s how

There are 3 methods to change the color of your image in Canva.

The first method is the use of tint but using this barely changes the color.

The second method is the use of Duotone which is hard to configure and only affects the highlights and shadows.

The third method, which is the most effective, is the use of ColorMix, which lets you change the color of your image so easily.

Here are some of the steps to change the color of your image with the help of ColorMix.

1. Select the image that you want to recolor and click the “Edit image” button.

3. Click “Use”.

4. Select one of the options of “ColorMix” that matches the hue/color you desire. Since I want to change the color of my motorbike from red to green, I will choose “Marine”.

5. If you want to tweak the color of your image a little bit, you need to click the option that you have chosen one more time and a new panel would appear with a slider that lets you adjust the hue/color and saturation of your image. Mix it to your liking.

Just a reminder to use this feature sparingly as this drops the quality of the image.

There you go! You just recolored the image to the color that matches your brand in just a few clicks!
