How Do I Crop a Circle in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 11:27 am

There are a few ways to crop a circle in Canva. The first way is to use the Crop tool. With the Crop tool selected, hover your mouse over the edge of the circle until you see the curved arrow icon, then click and drag to crop the circle.

Another way to crop a circle in Canva is to use the Ellipse tool. With the Ellipse tool selected, click and drag on the canvas to draw an ellipse. Once you have your ellipse drawn, hover your mouse over one of the corner handles until you see the curved arrow icon, then click and drag inwards to crop the circle.

If you need to crop a photo into a circle, you can use the Crop tool or the Ellipse tool as well. Just hover your mouse over one of the corner handles of the photo until you see the curved arrow icon, then click and drag inwards to crop.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that cropping a circle in Canva may result in unexpected results. We recommend that you use the ‘Crop to Shape’ tool instead.

Once you’ve cropped your circle, you can add text or other images inside it. To add text, just click on the Text tool and type away.

To add an image, click on the Uploads tab and upload or select an image from your library. Then click and drag it into place inside your circle.

Conclusion:

There are a few ways to crop a circle in Canva, but the easiest way is to use either the Crop tool or the Ellipse tool.
