Use this interactive demo to learn how to add and customize frames in your Canva design.

Quick summary

Canva Frames let you place photos inside shaped or styled containers directly on your design canvas. This step-by-step guide shows you how to find, add, resize, and fill a frame with your own image in Canva's editor.


Steps

  1. On the edit toolbar, go to the Elements section.
  2. Use the search bar and type 'Frame' to find frame options quickly.
  3. Alternatively, scroll down to the Frames category in the Elements panel.
  4. Once you find a frame you like, click on it to add it to your design.
  5. Resize the frame by clicking and dragging its corners to fit your layout.
  6. Click 'Uploads' in the sidebar to access your photos for the frame.
  7. Click a photo from your uploads to place it inside the frame.
  8. Adjust the position and size of the photo within the frame as needed.
  9. When finished, save your design by clicking the 'Share' button.

📌 Why this matters

Canva Frames are a powerful design feature that lets users display photos in custom shapes and styled containers, giving designs a polished, professional look without any graphic design experience. Knowing how to use Frames in Canva enables creators, marketers, and social media managers to produce visually structured content — such as Instagram posts, presentations, and marketing collateral — faster and more consistently. Frames make it easy to swap images, maintain layout integrity, and produce on-brand visuals at scale, making them one of Canva's most versatile and time-saving tools.
