Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 5:39 pm

There are many ways to create a silhouette. The most popular way is to use an image editing program like Canva.

To create a silhouette in Canva, first open the program and click on the “Uploads” tab. Find the photo you want to turn into a silhouette and click on it. Once the photo is open, click on the “Edit” tab and then select “Crop.”

Under the “Aspect Ratio” options, select the “1:1” option and then drag the cropping tool around the photo until only the subject of the photo is left. Once you are happy with the crop, click on the “Apply” button.

Next, click on the “Filters” tab and then scroll down until you find the “Black & White” filter. Apply this filter to your photo.

Finally, click on the “Text” tab and add any text you want to include in your silhouette. Once you are happy with your design, click on the “Download” button to save your work.

Creating a silhouette in Canva is easy and only takes a few steps.

First, upload the photo you want to turn into a silhouette. Next, crop the photo so only the subject is visible.

Then, apply a black and white filter to your image. Finally, add any text you want to include in your design. When you are happy with your work, download your silhouette to save it!

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, turning a photo into a silhouette using Canva can result in a loss of quality. Make sure to use the lowest possible setting when exporting your image to avoid this.
