Transparency is useful for creating layered effects and placing images on top of background images.
Here's how to make an image transparent in Canva:
- Open Canva and log in or sign up for a new account.
- Click on "Create a design," then select "Custom dimensions" from the drop-down menu.
- In the pop-up window, enter the width and height you want for your design. Then click "Design! "
- Next, click on "Uploads" in the left-hand sidebar. Here, you can upload your own photos or logos, or select from Canva's library of over 1 million stock images, illustrations, and icons.
