Resizing and Positioning the Image

After you've added the image, you can customize its size and position to fit your design perfectly.

To resize the image, drag the corners of the image box, or use the 'Width & Height' options in the toolbar. You can also flip, rotate, or skew the image using the available tools.

Cropping the Image

If you want to crop the image, Canva provides a 'Crop to size' button. This allows you to specify the exact area of the image you want to use in your design.

You can also use the 'Crop image' button to remove unwanted areas or focus on the main subject of your image.

That's all! You've successfully added your own image to Canva. Now, go ahead and explore the numerous editing options to make your image stand out. Happy designing!
