How to Stop Getting Your Head Cropped Off in a Canva Frame
If you’ve ever tried fitting an image into a Canva frame and found that it just doesn’t seem to work right, you’re not alone.
I’ve actually covered this topic more generally before in a previous post and video: czcams.com/video/MZfbqN_4VHc/video.html
But I wanted to dive deeper into a specific issue that many of you have mentioned-what to do when a headshot or photo of a person gets their head cropped off when pulled into a Canva frame.
This problem is particularly common when there isn’t enough space above the person’s head in the original photo. Canva tries to fill the frame, which often results in cropping off parts of the image you want to keep.

i need my design size to be 500px, but when i download it to my phone its become slighly blurry. what should i do? its only in hd when i increase the size before downloading it. thats mean it will not be in 500px anymore right?
This is exactly what I need except when I hover over a design no check box appears! I have nearly 400 designs created by one person and I'm trying to move them into a folder with their name on it. When I find those designs by putting their email in the search bar it brings up all their designs but doesn't offer me check boxes. HELP!! Thanks
Hi there! Quick note that you'll find an updated version of this video here: czcams.com/video/D85q3Wzu6sA/video.html If you're hovering over designs on the homepage, you won't see a checkbox... that only works in the Projects area. HOWEVER... the option to select multiple designs does *not* currently show up in search results. I actually recently submitted a document to the content navigation team at Canva and organizing capabilities within search results was highlighted as a big concern, so while I don't have a solution to present you currently on that, please know that I am doing what I can to put it on Canva's radar. But let's see if there's another way to do this... is the person who created those designs a current member of your Canva team? Are they still the owner of those designs?
@@BrendaCadman Thank you for getting back to me. The person is my hubby!!! I added him as a team member but then removed him as I wanted to go back to pro and not have a team subscription. I kept all his designs but now want to put them in a folder for him. That's why I use the search button to find all his designs. I may end up going back to teams but still need for him to be able to access all his designs in one place. Thanks
Unfortunately this did not work for me.
Can you tell me more? Is it possible there isn't enough space added around the image, so it's still getting cut off as a result?
@@BrendaCadman thanks Brenda, I’ve tried so many platforms to do this and have Canva Pro I was wondering if the file that my logo was supplied in might be the cause? I put the round element on a new design and widen it out so there is be white when I drag the png file over but the square image still cuts off
Super helpful! Thank you.
You're so welcome!
IT WORKED! Thanks for this quick and easy (although tedious and cumbersome Ha! Ha!) tutorial.
LOL, I *so* wish there was a less tedious way to migrate designs but ooof, sadly there isn't. 😆
The 45-day free trial is only 30 days... is there a way to get the 45-day free trial?
Unfortunately Canva discontinued our ability to provide a 45 day trial as of April 30th and the only free Pro trials available now are 30 days. I wish there was a way for me to update that across all of my videos, but unfortunately there isn't. While there's only a 30 day trial available now, I did also create a free Canva course to help walk through the differences in Pro so you can maximize the trial period -- you can find that on the old Pro trial page as well. 😊
Hi there Brenda Thank you for your video - super helpful! Can you perhaps assist me with the following issue? When I post to Facebook my graphic comes out very blurred especially round the text. I have saved it as high resolution PNG file from Canva. When you view the graphic it is very crisp and clear - any ideas how to resolve the graphic from looking blurred in my newsfeed?
Hi! If the graphic is high quality and clear prior to uploading it to Facebook, then the blurriness you're seeing is a result of it being compressed when it's uploaded to FB. But maybe this tutorial will help: czcams.com/video/6O2eMq4GQJE/video.html
Super helpful video, Brenda!! Thank you for so clearly communicating the difference between template links and brand templates. I didn't fully understand either before watching this and now I'm excited to create templates for my clients since I know how to properly share them. :)
I'm so happy it was helpful! 😊
Thanks for sharing!!
My pleasure!!
I like how organised you are. You inspired me to set up a similar method. It's way less stressfull when I don't have to look for projects and draft. I'm new to Canva, so this information is very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing.
So happy to hear this! 🤩

Hi! Love your videos. I tried to do the same, but my square shape became much much larger than the white canvas. :S Do you know if Canva adjusted the Instagram post size to the size of the Instagram grid? Thank you!
Hi there! Canva has both design sizes available to choose from now, one called "Instagram Post (Square)" and "Instagram Post (Portrait)". Can you walk me through in a bit more detail what steps you took and what didn't go as expected? I can likely point you in the right direction. 😊

Hii i actually have a photo of a person whos heads r birng cut off due to it please provide me a solution
Are you able to adjust the photo of the person to create more space above the person's head that can be cropped? If not, I would suggest that you do the following: (1) Create a new design and add the person's photo to the design. Make sure that there's blank space left above their head. (2) Use the Magic Expand feature to fill in the space above their head; I've got a tutorial here on how to do that: czcams.com/video/UWXLuZCklCU/video.html (3) Download the design as an image, or use the Design to Image app; there's a tutorial here on how to use that: czcams.com/video/RQL7m4AEq1c/video.html (4) Then add that image (with the extra space above their head) into the frame. The extra space *should* prevent their head from getting cut off. I think I'll create a tutorial about how to do this as well and hopefully add that to my channel in the next week or so. 😊
@@BrendaCadman Thank you so so much it helped a lot
Fantastic! Glad to hear it. 😊
Thank you so much!! This helped me figure out the last thing that needed to be done.
Glad it helped! 😊
I am missing how you paste the copied links into a new canva account. Could you provide steps that sets out the specific way to do it?
Good idea! I have been sharing and copying copying design ever since. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
It’s not even the social media sites that distort it. It’s as soon as I download it and send it to my phone it’s a slight blur.
Is it blurry even when you download a version 2 or 3x the required size? Is it text that is blurry? A photo? If you can share more details, I'll see if I can help.
Thank you so much for this!!! It's exactly what I was looking for. I was able to make the exact thing I needed!
Glad I could help! 😊
@@BrendaCadman Oh, I'm sooo grateful. I used it to make an addition to my course.
Hi! Thank you for this helpful info. Can you tell me how to keep the blue boxes from showing up on my document?
Do you mean that you're seeing the field outline showing up in your PDF? I believe that may actually a setting that needs to be turned off in your PDF viewer. i.e. under Adobe Preferences, under Forms, there's an option to "show border hover color for fields" so you may not have control over whether that is seen on the recipients PDF.
Ok, thank you for your help!
Super helpful, thank you!
You're very welcome! 😊
It worked like magic :-) Thank you so much 🙏
You are so welcome! 😊
Awesome thanks so much. Can you find a font on an image or svg using Canva?
Not in Canva, but if you have an example of the font being used on a website, this tool might help: czcams.com/video/eH49SOxgqhs/video.html
I’ve done everything! All my photos look amazing on the preview but once I publish it and look at it on my phone it looks awful
What type of image are you trying to download and what dimensions are you downloading it as?
The only questions I had this video didn't answer. Exactly how to transfer it. This video is so vague I had to go to another video to figure it out. You just say copy the link but then you didn't explain where to paste the link. Also... you then just say just "when canva prompts you". But it won't prompt you if you don't paste the link anywhere.
Thanks for your comment! To clarify, here are the steps included in the video: 1) Open the design and get the template link for it 2) Do that for every design you want to move over (i.e. compile a list of the template links) 3) Login to the other account that you want to move them to 4) Open each of those template links in your browser in order to be prompted to make a copy (see timestamp 1:18 to see what that looks like)
I struggled for about 20 long minutes (felt longer) trying to figure it out. Lol Thanks for the video!
I hope it helped!
what I am still not unsure about is whether to use the desktop or web app. I am not entirely happy with the performance of the desktop app that I ve been using for a few months now. Especially on video editing Canva really underperforms. Not sure if the web app would be different as they share the same servers. Canva just needs more powerful servers. Or is it something else?
To be honest, I stick with the desktop browser version as I don't find a lot of value in the web app at this time for my own workflow. But I know others who prefer to use it instead... at this time it'll come down more to personal preference than any sort of performance or feature difference. Now, if they ever make it possible to use the web app *offline*, that I would be very interested in for the times when I don't have an internet connection.
This is a game changer.
I'm glad you found it helpful! 😊
Thank you!!
You're very welcome!
Hello thank you for your help. but I tried absolutely everything you instructed and my instagram tile I created on Canva is still out of place. I'm trying my best to learn Canva as best I can but first I need to tidy up my instagram.
I mean like for real ? U think I don't know this 😭 I came here to know how to delete all the images at a time
This is a very old video and there's an updated video available here: czcams.com/video/D85q3Wzu6sA/video.html However, there is no way currently in Canva to delete all images at once. I also look forward to when they add that feature!
Ty❤
You're very welcome!
Doesnt work on mobile
You have to do it a different way in the mobile app: 1) Create a new page in the design where you want the design to be brought into 2) Open "Projects" in the app (while you have the editor open) and locate the design you want to pull from 3) Select the page you want to pull into your new design It should automatically pull it in from there.

Can you elaborate what you mean by it being blurry in mockup?
how about if want bundle transfer design, because if I tick more than 1, the menu button if off
Unfortunately there is currently no way to transfer multiple designs from one Canva account to another; the only way to do it at the moment is to copy individual designs over via template links.
why I can't find the (Design to image button) on chrome??
It's one of the Canva apps that you need to add... here's a direct link to it. :) www.canva.com/your-apps/AAF0QRD19PU/design-to-image?q=Design+to+Image
