Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 1:39 pm

Adding a background in Canva is easy! With a few clicks, you can upload your own image or choose from Canva’s library of over 2 million professional stock photos. Simply select the background you want, then click “Add to design” to upload it to your design.

To add a background:

1. Open Canva and sign in or create a new account. 2. Click on the “Create a design” button. 3. Select the “Backgrounds” tab from the left-hand panel.

4. Choose an image from the library or upload your own. 5. Click on the image to select it, then click “Add to design” in the top right-hand corner. 6. Your background has now been added! You can move and resize it as needed.

You can also change the opacity of your background, which can be useful if you want to add text over it. To do this, simply click on the image, then click “Opacity” in the top left-hand corner. You can adjust the opacity using the slider or by entering a number between 0 (fully transparent) and 100 (fully opaque).

PRO TIP: Adding a background in Canva is a very simple process, but there are a few things you need to know before you start. First, make sure that the image you want to use as your background is high-resolution and at least 300 dpi. If it’s not, the image will appear pixelated and low quality. Second, make sure the image is large enough to cover the entire canvas – otherwise it will look like it’s been placed on top of the canvas instead of behind it. Finally, make sure that the background image you’re using doesn’t have any important elements in the center of it, as they will be covered up by your design. With these guidelines in mind, adding a background in Canva is a breeze!
