Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 4:40 pm

There are a few ways to crop an element in a circle in Canva. You can use the Crop tool, the Mask tool, or a combination of both.

The Crop tool is the simplest way to crop an element in a circle. Just select the element you want to crop, then click and drag the Crop tool around the element. When you release the mouse button, the element will be cropped to the shape of the Crop tool.

The Mask tool is a bit more complex, but it gives you more control over how the element is cropped. To use the Mask tool, first select the element you want to crop.

PRO TIP: Crop an element in a circle in Canva can result in the element being cropped in an unintended way. Be sure to check the preview before finalizing your design.

Then, click and drag the Mask tool around the element. As you move the Mask tool, you’ll see a preview of how the element will be cropped. When you’re happy with the preview, release the mouse button and the element will be cropped.

If you want even more control over how an element is cropped, you can use a combination of the Crop and Mask tools. First, use the Crop tool to crop the element to a basic shape.

Then, use the Mask tool to fine-tune the cropping. This technique gives you a lot of flexibility in how you crop elements.
