If you’re new to Canva, you may be wondering how to import your own images into the program. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started.

First, open Canva and sign in. Then, click on the “Create a design” button in the upper-left corner of the screen.

A new window will pop up with several options for design types. Select “Custom dimensions” from the list.

Enter the width and height you want your design to be, then click “Create design.” Your blank canvas will now appear.

To import your own image, click on the “Uploads” tab in the left sidebar. Then, click on the “Upload an image” button in the center of the screen. A new window will pop up, allowing you to select an image from your computer.

PRO TIP: When importing into Canva, be sure to check the file format. Some file formats are not compatible with Canva and will not be able to be imported.

Once you’ve selected your image, click on the “Open” button. Your image will now appear on your canvas.

To edit your image, click on it once to select it. Then, use the tools in the top toolbar to make changes.

To add text to your image, click on the “Text” tab in the left sidebar. A new window will pop up with several text options.

Select the type of text you want to add, then enter your text in the box provided. To change the font or color of your text, use the options in the top toolbar. When you’re finished, click on the “Apply” button.

That’s all there is to it! Now you know how to import images and add text to them in Canva.
