Last updated on December 4, 2022 @ 8:56 pm

Adding a light leak to your photos can give them an ethereal and vintage look. You can add a light leak in Canva by adding a shape to your image and setting the transparency to 50%.

To add a light leak in Canva, first open the photo you want to edit. Then, click the “Shapes” button in the toolbar and choose the shape you want to use. Once you’ve selected a shape, click and drag it onto your photo.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that adding a light leak in Canva can result in your image being too bright or too dark. If you are not careful, you may end up with an unusable image.

Next, double click on the shape layer in the layers panel and change the transparency to 50%. You can also change the color of the light leak by clicking on the “Color” button in the toolbar and selecting a new color.

Finally, position the light leak where you want it on your photo and then save your image.
