Is There a Pen in Canva?

Last updated on December 9, 2022 @ 4:31 am

If you’re like me, you’re always looking for new ways to spruce up your photos and designs. Fortunately, there’s a tool that can help with that: Canva.

Canva is a free online design platform that’s beloved by bloggers, small businesses, and non-designers alike. It’s simple to use and has a huge library of pre-made templates and images.

But one thing that Canva is missing is a pen tool. This means that if you want to draw or write on your designs, you’ll have to find another program to do so.

There are a few ways around this. One is to use the shapes tool to create a path that you can then trace with the line tool. This isn’t ideal, but it can work in a pinch.

PRO TIP: This note is to warn you about the possible consequences of using the “Is There a Pen in Canva?” feature on Canva.

While this feature may be helpful in some situations, it can also lead to problems if not used carefully. For example, if you use this feature to create a design and then save it as a PNG file, the transparency of the design may be lost when the file is opened in another program. Additionally, if you use this feature to create a design that is too complex, it may be difficult to edit or change later on.

As such, we recommend that you use this feature with caution and only when absolutely necessary. If you have any questions or concerns about using this feature, please feel free to contact us for more information.

Another option is to upload your own image with a transparent background. Then you can use the line tool to draw on top of it.

Finally, my favorite workaround is to use the text tool to create words or shapes that look like they were drawn with a pen. You can change the color, thickness, and opacity of the text until it looks just right.

So, while there isn’t a pen tool in Canva, there are definitely ways to work around it and still create beautiful designs.
