Yes, you can make Scalable Vector Graphics, or SVG, in Canva. You can create them from scratch, or you can upload a PNG or JPG file and convert it to an SVG. Once you have your file created or converted, you can then add text to it using the < p >, < b >, and < u > tags.

Scalable Vector Graphics are a great way to add images to your website or blog because they are small in file size and they scale well on Retina displays and other high-resolution screens. Canva is an easy-to-use online graphic design tool that lets you create SVGs with ease.

To make an SVG in Canva, start by creating a new design. Then, click on the “Uploads” tab and select the “Upload your own images” option. Choose the file you want to upload and click “Open.”

PRO TIP: SVG files are not supported by Canva. If you try to upload an SVG file, you will receive an error message.

Once your file is uploaded, you can click and drag it onto the canvas. If you want to convert it to an SVG, click on the “File” menu and select “Export As…” Choose the “SVG” option from the dropdown menu.

If you want to add text to your SVG, click on the “Text” tool and type your text. You can use the < p >, < b >, and < u > tags to style your text as needed.

Once you’re done, click on the “File” menu and select “Export As…” again. Choose the “SVG” option from the dropdown menu.
