How to create custom frames for Canva using Adobe Illustrator

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Learn how to create custom frames for Canva with the help of Adobe Illustrator. Canva frames are a super powerful way to place your images into any custom shape that you like. Standard Canva does not allow us to create frames yet, so this technique is very helpful and easy.
As Canva becomes more and more popular, it is important to have as much flexibility using this awesome design tool. So, videos like this particular one is intended to solve an issue I struggled with for a long time and I'm sure other designers have also battled with before.
The Canva tutorials on this channel are meant to be informative and practical.

Super Simple Tutorial. Thank you so much👍👍👍
I'm glad you liked the video. Appreciate it.
This is the best tutorial I've seen, wasn't working on Ms word and PowerPoint for me, thank you so much
My pleasure, I'm so happy you benefitted from the video. Please like and share it. I'd like to try the other methods, because it caters for a bigger audience I think.
.......I love you.
Seriously, so many other videos are like 25 minutes long, with so much fat on it.
Thanks for only speaking the words necessary to instruct us - truly thank you
I love you too...lol. I really appreciate your comment. Glad you liked the style of video. I need to put out more content.
Get ready for a million views man
Thanks and share the video please!
@@canvacue ok
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing 🎉
Thank you!!!
thank you! I watched a handful of these, and yours was the only understandable one out of all of them. My frame worked perfectly!!
I'm so glad it worked for you. Thanks for the kind comment.
Thank you for putting something together for AI - I wasn't going to forgive myself if I had to do it in Word. LOL! I know that's great if you don't have other options, but if you do...it is painful.
My pleasure Jessica. I feel your pain LOL. Having Ai and Canva is a powerful combination in my opinion. What is your opinion? How do you use Canva?
I tried this way but it didn’t work. It shows cant make clipping mask.
It should work if the steps are followed exactly. Make sure your shape/path is closed. Select your shape with the black arrow tool and click control+j. The shape must be above the image. Let me know if you are successful.
@@canvacue the shape was closed. I downloaded an animal vector shape png nd do the same as u said. But it wont work.
It must be a vector, not png.
Feel free to send me a video of what you are doing and I will try to assist.
Is there any way to make sure that it is a vector?
Do you know why it doesn't seem to be working with rectangle shapes anymore? Works with any other shape. I used to be able to do it with rectangles as well (since I occasionally need a frame of specific proportions and Canva doesn't that have many options for simple rectangles), but since recently I haven't been able to do it.
Jo, thanks for commenting. I will test your issue tomorrow. What dimensions did you test?
@@canvacue Thanks for your prompt reply. I tried various dimensions, none of them worked.
Give me a dimension and I will test on my side pls.
Thanks, I'll test it and let you know.
Mine worked. 👍
Thank you!!!!!
Pleasure!
Love the fact that you used birds singing as background sounds, not music. Very calming. Great tutorial
hahahaha Thanks! This is the best comment ever. Was actually intentional. I prefer not using music in my vids. It can be super challenging because people cant focus without music these days. If you dont mind, please watch my latest video and let me know if that sound is ok also in your opinion.
@@canvacue Will do. I prefer your bird sounds anyday. Maybe getting older.
@@katemccarthy2463 LOL must be.
YOU ARE AWSOME!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Thumbs up and subscribe! :)
Thanks so much Vignesh! Pls share.
Absolute lifesaver, can't thank you enough!
I know what that felt like when I was stuck. It's a pleasure!!!
THANK YOU!!!!! I spent hours looking for a solution because the Microsoft word method was not working for me!
Really glad I could help. Thank you for the feedback.
THIS WORKED PERFECTLY! I've been trying to figure this out for over 30 minutes and i almost rage quit lmao. thank you SO MUCH for this video. I want to add that this trick also works in figma using the image fill option. its super easy and figma is completely free to use too. so if anyone is watching this and doesn't have illustrator or powerpoint or whatever, it works in figma!
I love this comment!! So glad it helped you out. I think I need to make a tut using the Figma way, thanks so much for that tip.
I tried exporting as a PDF using Figma but it didnt work. Can you elaborate on your process please?
@@canvacue hmm that's weird. did you make sure you outlined stroke on the object first? all i did was create a basic shape in figma (like a star or polygon), outlined stroke, changed the fill type to an image fill, and then exported the shape as a pdf. i also just tried it with a random shape i made with the pen tool and it still worked. i wonder what the problem is? if you want i can send you some screenshots or a screen recording
@@cornbone It worked!! I did something wrong the first time, I clipped an image in the vector shape BUT didnt fill the shape. Its a huge tip, thanks so much Rae!
@@canvacue aah yeah i tried that too the first time and it didn't work. glad you got it to work! :)
This is nice....super neat!
Thank you. Please share the video 👍
Thank you...too bad you can't create custom frames or masks in Canvas itself, but I will definitely use Illustrator. I had a sneaking suspicion that's what I was going to do.
It's a good option to have that little help from Adobe at times. Canva will add this at some point I'm sure. Even drawing your own vector paths would be great as well.
@@canvacue 💯 agree!
Thank you. Like this version
Thanks so much Kate!
This is very useful. Thank you.
My pleasure.
Please let me know if there are any other things you might need help with with.
Figma + Svg of choice + import image done 😮
Thank you. Can you please explain how to use multiple picture in the same frame? Can I split the frame using some kind to grids?
That is a very good question Vikash. Its something i've never tried actually. My mind tells me its not possible as one frame. A work around could be to create 2 separate frames and then place them together when u design in Canva.
Thanks for tutorial
My pleasure Mahnaz!! Please share it.
AMAZING. Just what I needed. How easy was that? Thank you so much.
My pleasure Amy. It frustrated me for months 😅. Glad to have helped you.
WOW. Thank you so much
My pleasure. Thank you for watching.
So I'm finding this only works part of the time with things like rectangles, as the image that is being clipped is being saved as the whole image and not the clipping mask. Any ideas why that may be?
So it works sometimes and other times not?
A HUGEEEEEEEE Thank You 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
A huge thank you for watching my video 😁.
Excellent and valuable information. this one video is worth millions of like 🧡🧡
I really appreciate your comment. Thank you.
Since the frame is a project itself, how do we import the frame into other project?
Simply by cutting and pasting it.
I tried doing something similar in Procreate but it would just delete the entire image in Canva even though it would give me the option to only delete the image. Any ideas on why this doesn't work with Procreate. I did make sure to use a vector image and clipping mask. Thanks.
Hi Tanya. I've never worked in Procreate before, so sorry I cant help.
@@canvacue No problem I think I may have figured it out - procreate does not do vector only pixels so maybe I will try using an svg file. The key seems to be to have that vector file so the image snaps. There are other ways to make the image transparent on the inside so you can kind of use it like a digital stencil in canva but the image wont snap to the shape which is a bummer.
@@tanyawatsonstudio1111 Thats good to know. We only figure these things out by fiddling lol.
Thank you the easiest and clear instructions I have been able to find after spending quite some time 😊❤
Thank you for the nice comment. I need to make new videos lol.
Subscribed and looking for more videos 😊
Thank you
THANK YOU WOW
Pleasure Cassie.
INCREEEEEEEDIBLY USEFUL! From fellow South African - Yyou just saved a k=life! ( Uni deadlines aren't cute when you're struggling with such things! )So much love from sunny Pretoria!
Thanks for the comment Veronica. LOL, I love how you picked out my accent so easily. Ill be releasing another vid soon, also regarding frames, but using Figma. It was a pleasure helping you out and solving a massive issue. Please share the vid if you dont mind. Also, do you normally use Adobe as your main design tool or only Canva? Thinking about content for a future video.
Very cool!
Thank you for the awesome comment Jeremy.
Excellent tutorial from top to bottom. Thank you so, so much! Perfect length, music and information. :)
Really appreciate your kind words. Thank you.
Ah, thank you! Worked perfectly! Also love the birdsong 🥰
Thanks Gretchen, glad I could help. #lifesaver lol
This video deserves an award! This changes the game for what you can do in Canva and greatly improves the workflow. Saw another video using Microsoft Word, but Illustrator enables us to create more intricate and unique custom frames.
Thanks so much for your comment Adrian. Glad I could share that with you.
I love the fact that people like you exists ! Thank you so much 🙏🌈
LOL thank you! We all are the same...trying to solve the same problems.
@@canvacue sure, but YOU shared and that's the great difference 🙏 thank you!
GENIUS!!!!!!!!! Many thanks.
My pleasure!
This video has been very helpful. I have a question. How do we make a svg scalable on its axes independently? I want to adjust the width without modifying the height on canvas. Thank you very much!
Hi Robbie. Thank you for watching. About your question, please give me more context if you don't mind. When you say svg, do u mean any shape?
@@canvacue i made this video to illustrate the situation

@@canvacue Thank you!
@@canvacue Any solution? :(
@@robbie9783 Robbie, you didnt elaborate? I asked for more context.
