Where Is the Photo Editor in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 11:37 am

As a free online design platform, Canva is beloved by many for its ease of use and wide range of features. However, one feature that is notably absent from the platform is a photo editor.

This can be a frustrating omission for users who are trying to create designs that rely heavily on photos, such as invitations or marketing materials. While there are some workarounds, such as using the “Magic Resize” tool to resize images, it’s not the same as having a dedicated photo editor.

So, where is the photo editor in Canva? The short answer is: there isn’t one.

Canva does not currently have a built-in photo editor, and there are no plans to add one in the future. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t edit photos in Canva – it just means you have to use a different program to do so.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great online photo editor, but one thing to be aware of is that it doesn’t always have the photo editor in the same place. Sometimes it’s in the top left corner, and sometimes it’s in the bottom right corner. So if you’re looking for the photo editor and can’t find it, just check both corners and you should be able to find it.

There are a few different ways to edit photos in Canva:

  • Upload your own photos: If you have your own photos that you want to use in your design, you can upload them directly into Canva. Just click on the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand sidebar and select the image you want to add.
  • Use Canva’s stock images: Canva has a library of over 1 million stock images, illustrations, and icons that you can use in your designs. Most of these images are free to use, with a small number of premium images available for purchase.
  • Edit photos with an external program: If you want to edit your photos before adding them to Canva (or if you need more editing options than what Canva offers), you can use an external photo editor like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. Once you’ve edited your photo, just save it and upload it into Canva like any other image.

Conclusion:

So, where is the photo editor in Canva? The short answer is: there isn’t one. Canva does not currently have a built-in photo editor, and there are no plans to add one in the future.
