How do I mask a design in Canva?

Published in Design Tools 1 min read

You can mask a design in Canva by using frames. Frames act as stencils, allowing you to reveal only a specific portion of an image or design element.

Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your Canva design.
  2. Go to the "Elements" tab on the left sidebar.
  3. Search for "Frame" in the search bar.
  4. Select a frame that matches the shape or design you want to apply.
  5. Drag and drop the frame onto your image or design element.
  6. Resize and reposition the frame to fit perfectly.
  7. The frame will now act as a mask, hiding any parts of the image or design element that fall outside its boundaries.

You can choose from a variety of pre-made frame shapes in Canva, or even upload your own custom shapes. Experiment with different frames to create unique and visually appealing effects.
