< 1 min read

The Element Menu in Canva offers several tools for customizing the elements you add to your design. Here’s how to use it:

Editing Elements:

When you click on an element (like a background or image), a menu will appear at the top with options to edit that element:

  • Filter: Apply effects like grayscale.
  • Adjust: Change color settings.
  • Crop: Crop the element to your desired shape.
  • Flip: Reverse the element’s orientation.
  • Position: Move the element forward, backward, or to the top or bottom layer.
  • Transparency: Adjust the element’s opacity.
  • Link: Add a URL to the element.

Working with Text Elements:

To add text, click on the Text element and choose a heading or body text.

Once added, you can:

  • Change font: Choose from available fonts.
  • Adjust size and color: Modify the text’s appearance.
  • Position: Move the text to any part of the design.
  • Link: Add a URL to the text.

The Element Menu gives you complete control over your design, allowing you to fine-tune both graphic and text elements.
