How Do I Make a Background Image in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 5:34 pm

Making a background image in Canva is easy! First, open Canva and sign in or create an account. Then, click on the “Create a design” button.

A new window will pop up with a blank canvas. On the left-hand side, you will see a menu of pre-made designs. Choose the one that best fits your needs.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, you can easily create a background image in Canva that is too busy or distracting. Be sure to use a simple image that will not take away from your content.

Once you have chosen your design, it’s time to add your background image. Click on the “Background” tab in the menu on the left-hand side. Here, you can either upload your own image or choose one from Canva’s library of over 1 million stock images, illustrations, and icons.

Once you have selected your image, it’s time to add some text. Click on the “Text” tab in the menu on the left-hand side. Here, you can type out your message or choose from a variety of pre-made text designs.

Finally, when you’re happy with your design, click on the “Download” button in the top right-hand corner and choose whether you want to download your design as a PNG or JPG file. And that’s it! You’ve now successfully created a background image in Canva.
