An overlay is a great way to add some extra style to your photos and Canva makes it easy to create one. With our easy-to-use design tools, you can create an overlay in just a few minutes. Here’s how:
First, open Canva and sign in or create an account. Then, click on the “Create a design” button and select the “Overlay” option from the list of design types.
1. Make sure the overlay is large enough to be easily seen but not so large that it overpowers the photo.
2. Choose an overlay that compliments the colors and mood of the photo.
3. Use a transparent overlay for a more subtle effect or an opaque overlay for a more dramatic look.
4. Adjust the opacity of the overlay to get the perfect balance between the photo and the overlay.
5. Don’t forget to save your work before exiting Canva!
Once you’re in the Overlay maker, you can browse through the various overlay templates or search for specific terms like “confetti” or “bokeh”.
When you find a template you like, simply click on it to edit it.
In the editor, you can change the colors, add your own images or logos, and change the text. You can also add effects like overlays, shadows, and borders. Once you’re happy with your design, click on the “Download” button to save it to your computer.
