Last updated on February 4, 2024 @ 4:54 pm

You can add a custom frame to your design in Canva by adding a new element and selecting the “Frame” option from the drop-down menu.

You can then choose from a variety of frame shapes and colors, or upload your own image to use as a frame.

Once you’ve added a frame to your design, you can adjust its size and position, and add text or images inside the frame.

To add a custom frame to your design:

1. Click the “+” icon in the left sidebar, then select “Frame” from the drop-down menu. Or go to the Elements tab and scroll down and find the “Frames” section. Click ‘see all’ to open the Frames panel.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Canva or graphic design, we do not recommend using this tool to create a custom frame.

There is a risk that you may not be able to create a frame that meets your needs, or that the frame you create will not be compatible with Canva’s design tools.

3. Then, simply drag and drop your uploaded photos or chosen stock images from Canva near the vicinity of your frames and it will instantly frame your photos.
