How Do I Change the Background Color in Canva?

Last updated on January 29, 2023 @ 7:37 pm

You can change the background color in Canva by following a few simple steps.

First, open your design in Canva.

Next, you can either select just the background of one element of your design or the background of your entire design. In this tutorial, we will choose the background of the entire design. Your design should now have a purple outline surrounding it which indicates that it is selected.

From here, click on the color box option at the top menu and select your preferred background color from the options on the left menu. This will automatically be applied to your design’s background.

Once you’ve made your selection and applied it, simply click ‘Share‘ to save a copy of your design.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, you could end up changing the background color of your entire Canva document instead of just the background color of one element. To avoid this, be sure to select the element whose background color you want to change before clicking on the “color box” option in the toolbar.

Conclusion:

Changing the background color in Canva is a quick and easy way to customize your designs. With just a few clicks, you can completely change the look and feel of your project. So whether you’re looking to make a bold statement or simply want to add a bit of personalization, changing the background color is a great place to start.
