How Do You Make a Guide in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 11:21 pm

Canva is a user-friendly graphic design tool that is perfect for creating professional designs for your business. You can create a wide variety of designs, including flyers, posters, and social media images. You can also use Canva to create covers for your blog or website.

To make a guide in Canva, first, sign up for a free account. Then, choose the “Create a Design” option from the homepage.

Next, select the “Use Custom Dimensions” option from the list of design types. In the pop-up box, enter your desired width and height for the guide. For this example, we will create a square guide, so we will enter 1000px for both the width and height.

Once you have set the custom dimensions for your guide, you will be taken to the main design interface. On the left-hand side of the screen, you will see a list of different elements that you can add to your design.

PRO TIP: This guide is not affiliated with Canva. We recommend that you use the official Canva guide when creating your designs.

These include text, images, shapes, and lines. To add text to your guide, simply click on the “Text” option and then type in your desired text. You can also format your text using the various options that are available in the text toolbar that appears above your design.

If you want to add an image to your guide, click on the “Images” option and then select “Uploads” from the drop-down menu. Here you can upload images from your computer or choose from Canva’s library of over 1 million stock images.

Once you have selected an image, you can drag and drop it into place in your design. You can also use the various options in the image toolbar to edit your image, such as cropping, filters, and adjustments.

Once you have added all of the elements that you want to include in your guide, you can then download it as a PDF or JPG file. You can also share it directly to social media or embed it on your website or blog.
