Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 5:41 pm

Adding highlights to your Canva account is a great way to add interest to your designs and make them pop. There are a few different ways that you can add highlights in Canva, and we’ll walk you through each of them so that you can choose the best method for your project.

The first way to add highlights in Canva is to use the “Highlight” tool. To do this, simply click on the “Text” tab in the editor and then click on the “Highlight” button. This will open up a menu where you can choose the color of your highlight.

Simply click on the color that you want and then click “OK.” Now, when you hover over your text, you should see a highlighter icon. Simply click and drag this icon over the text that you want to highlight and release. Your text should now be highlighted!

If you want to add a highlight to an image, you can do so by using the “Image Effects” tool. To access this tool, click on the image that you want to edit and then click on the “Effects” tab. From here, scroll down until you see the “Image Effects” tool and then click on it. This will open up a menu of different effects that you can apply to your image.

Scroll down until you see the “Highlights” option and then click on it. You should now see a slider that you can use to adjust the intensity of your highlights. Simply move the slider to the left or right until you get the desired effect and then click “Apply.”

The last way to add highlights in Canva is by using shapes. To do this, simply click on the “Shapes” tab in the editor and then choose the shape that you want to use from the menu.

Once you have selected your shape, click on it and drag it over your image. You can resize your shape by clicking on one of its corners and dragging it in or out. When you’re happy with your shape, simply let go of it and your highlight will be added!

PRO TIP: Canva is a great way to add highlights to your photos, but there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, make sure you have the right photo. Canva can only highlight certain areas of your photos, so if you have a photo with a lot of detail, it may not be the best choice. Second, be careful not to overdo it. Highlights should be used to accentuate certain features, not overwhelm them. too many highlights can make your photo look unnatural.
