How Do I Watermark an Image in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 8:35 pm

If you’re looking to add a watermark to an image in Canva, there are a few easy steps you can follow to get it done. First, open up Canva and sign in or create an account. Then, click on the “Create a design” button and select “Custom Dimensions” from the drop-down menu.

In the custom dimensions pop-up box, enter in the width and height you want your image to be. For this example, we’ll use 500 by 500 pixels. After clicking “Create,” you’ll be taken to your design page.

Next, upload the image you want to watermark by clicking the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand side menu and selecting “Upload an image.” Once your image is uploaded, drag and drop it onto your design page.

To add your text watermark, select the “Text” tab in the left-hand side menu and click on the “Add heading” or “Add subheading” button. A text box will appear on your design page; type in your watermark text and adjust the font, color, size, and alignment as desired.

PRO TIP: When using Canva to watermark an image, be aware that there is a risk the image may be saved without the watermark. If you are concerned about this happening, consider using another program or method to watermark your images.

Once you’re happy with how your watermark looks, click on the “Download” button in the top right-hand corner of the screen and select either “PNG” or “JPEG” from the drop-down menu. Canva will then save your image with its watermark intact.

Conclusion: Adding a watermark to an image in Canva is quick and easy. Simply create a new design with custom dimensions, upload your image, add your text watermark, and download the file.
