What are frames in Canva?
Frames in Canva are design tools that allow users to add a creative touch to their images or photos. They come in various shapes and sizes, such as circles, squares, rectangles, and more abstract shapes. Users can simply drag and drop their chosen image into the frame, and Canva will automatically crop the image to fit the shape of the frame. This feature makes it easy to create professional-looking designs without needing advanced graphic design skills.
In addition to basic shapes, Canva also offers themed frames, such as holiday-themed frames, frames with decorative borders, and frames designed to look like Polaroid photos or film strips. These frames can be used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of social media posts, presentations, posters, and other designs. Users can also adjust the size, color, and orientation of the frames to suit their specific design needs.
How to use frames in Canva?
Using frames in Canva is a simple and straightforward process. First, you need to log in to your Canva account and open the design you want to work on. Once you're in the design editor, click on the "Elements" tab on the left side of the screen. Scroll down until you find the "Frames" option and click on it. This will open a variety of frame options for you to choose from.
To use a frame, simply click on the one you want and it will appear on your design. You can then resize and move the frame to fit your design as needed. To add an image to the frame, go to the "Uploads" tab, select the image you want, and drag it to the frame. The image will automatically adjust to fit the frame. You can also adjust the image within the frame by double-clicking on it and dragging it around. Once you're satisfied with your design, you can save and download it.

How to resize frames in Canva?
Resizing frames in Canva is a straightforward process. First, click on the frame you want to resize. Once you've selected the frame, you'll see a dotted border with small circles at the corners and midpoints of each side. These circles are the handles you'll use to resize the frame.
To resize the frame, click and hold one of these handles. Then, drag the handle to adjust the size of the frame. Dragging a corner handle will allow you to adjust the height and width of the frame simultaneously, while dragging a side handle will only adjust the width, and dragging a top or bottom handle will only adjust the height. Release the mouse button when you're satisfied with the new size of the frame.
