How Do You Make a Profile Picture on Instagram on Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 11:23 pm

When you make a profile picture on Instagram, you have two options: you can either upload a photo from your phone’s camera roll, or you can choose to take a new photo. If you choose to upload a photo, you’ll be able to crop it and adjust the filters before posting. If you take a new photo, you can apply a filter before you post.

To make a profile picture on Instagram using Canva:

1. Open the Canva app and sign in. If you don’t have an account, you can create one for free.

2. Tap the “+” icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This will open the “Create a design” page.

3. On the “Create a design” page, tap the “Instagram Post” option. This will open a template for an Instagram post.

4. Tap the “Add photos” button in the top-left corner of the template. This will open your phone’s camera roll.

5. Select the photo that you want to use as your profile picture and tap the “Open” button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

6. The selected photo will appear on the template.

Tap and hold on the photo to move it around or resize it. You can also tap the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the screen to crop the photo or apply filters.
