Can I Color Overlay in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 3:16 pm

You can overlay colors in Canva to create interesting design effects. For example, you could use a color overlay to make a image more vibrant, or to add a color cast to an image.

To add a color overlay in Canva, first select the image you want to edit. Then, click the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the image window.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about coloring over an image in Canva, think again! This is not a good idea and will likely ruin your image.

In the “Edit” window, click on the “Effects” tab. Then, scroll down to the “Color Overlay” section and click on the color you want to use for your overlay.

You can also adjust the transparency of the overlay by clicking on the “Opacity” slider. Once you’re happy with your settings, click on the “Apply” button.

Color overlays can be a great way to add some extra pop to your images. So next time you’re looking to add some extra pizzazz to your designs, give color overlays a try!
