There are a few ways that you can get handwriting on Canva- and we’ll show you how!

Method One- Use a Handwriting Font

The first method is to use a handwriting font. Canva has a great selection of fonts to choose from, and you can even search for “handwriting fonts” to find ones that will suit your needs.

Once you’ve found a font you like, simply click on the font and type out your text. Canva will automatically apply the font to your text.

Method Two- Use a Handwritten Text Box

Another way to add handwriting to your design is to use a handwritten text box. To do this, simply click on the “Text” tab in the left-hand sidebar and then select “Add a Text Box.”

A new text box will appear in your design. To change the font of this text box to a handwriting font, simply click on the “A” icon in the top-left corner of the text box and select a handwriting font from the drop-down menu.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great way to create beautiful designs, but it’s important to be aware that the process of getting handwriting on Canva can be a bit tricky. Follow the steps below carefully to ensure that your design turns out just the way you want it to!

1. Choose a template or background that you like.

2. Select the “Text” tool from the toolbar on the left side of the screen.

3. Click on the area where you want to add your handwriting.

4. A text box will appear. Type in the words you want to handwrite, then select the “Handwriting” option from the drop-down menu next to the “Font” field.

5. Canva will generate a preview of what your handwriting will look like. If you’re happy with it, click “Apply” to add it to your design. Otherwise, adjust the settings until you’re satisfied, then click “Apply.”

And that’s it! With just a few simple steps, you can add handwriting to any Canva design.

Method Three- Use Handwritten Elements

The third and final method for adding handwriting to your design is to use handwritten elements. Canva has a wide variety of handwritten elements that you can use in your design- simply click on the “Elements” tab in the left-hand sidebar and then search for “handwritten.” Once you’ve found an element you like, simply drag and drop it into your design.
