This is an Arcade

Cropping in Canva helps you trim images or elements to focus on the most important part of your design. Here’s how to do it in a few clicks.

1. Open Your Design in Canva

Go to Canva and open the project with the image or element you want to crop.

2. Select the Image or Element

Click on the image, photo, or element you’d like to crop. A toolbar will appear above the editor.

3. Click the Crop Button

In the top toolbar, click the Crop button. The crop handles will appear around your image.

4. Adjust the Crop Area

Drag the corners or edges inward to trim away parts of the image. You can also reposition the image within the crop box.

5. Apply the Crop

Click Done (or press Enter) to save your cropped image.
