How Do You Use the Eyedropper in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 5:50 pm

The eyedropper is one of the most basic and essential tools in Canva. It allows you to quickly and easily select a color from anywhere on your design, and apply it to another element. Here’s a quick guide on how to use the eyedropper tool in Canva.

How to Use the Eyedropper Tool in Canva

First, open your design in Canva. Then, click on the “Edit” button in the top-left corner of the screen. This will open up the editing tools.

Next, click on the “Eyedropper” tool, which is located towards the middle of the toolbar. Once you have clicked on this tool, your cursor will turn into an eyedropper.

PRO TIP: The eyedropper in Canva can be a great tool for picking colors from images, but it can also be a bit tricky to use. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of the eyedropper:

1. To select a color from an image, first click on the image with the eyedropper tool active.

2. Then, move the cursor around until it changes into a crosshair. Once the crosshair is in place, click and hold down the mouse button to select the color.

3. To fine-tune your color selection, you can use the “hue” and “saturation” sliders that appear next to the color picker.

4. When you’re happy with your selection, simply click “OK” to apply it to your design.

Now, move your cursor over to the element in your design that you want to select a color from. For example, if you want to select the color of a piece of text, simply hover your cursor over that text. As you do this, you will see the color preview change to match the color of the element you are hovering over.

Once you have found the color you want to use, simply click on it with your mouse. This will apply that color to the currently selected element in your design.

Conclusion

As you can see, using the eyedropper tool in Canva is extremely easy and straightforward. Simply select the tool from the toolbar, hover over the element you want to choose a color from, and then click on that element. The selected color will then be applied to whatever element you have currently selected.
