Some of CANVA'S templates don't allow us to crop as you are showing. They just open Smart Crop, and it doesn't allow us to cut on top or below the main part. And all those freehand, 5x5 etc options of cropping are not even shown below Smart Crop. This is so hard. It freezes the mouse from going up, it will either stretch the whole image or shrink it. Any ideas?
Without seeing the template, it's a bit hard to know what you mean. This is how to crop images, but you mention cropping a template? Do you want to resize a template? You can drop me a DM over on IG with a link and I can take a look for you.
Thank you for this! I have a question -- I did the crop just fine, but how do I make the rest of the outside white space shrink so it's just seen around the pic itself? I downloaded an icon sheet from CF and want to cut each icon out and turn into an svg file -- easy with your instruction, except now the icon is still on this huge sheet of paper. I just want the "huge sheet" of white to be small, tightly surrounding the icon.
Arghhhh! Laptop also being thrown. I am working with non-photographs, an elf, christmas tree, and an arrow. If I click on the elf I get the crop marks in the corners of it, can't crop the christmas tree or arrow. SO FRUSTRATING!
Hello Darren, (not sure if you remember me but we met in Meredith's group a few years back) I have a CANVA question and immediately thought of you. Not sure if you have a video about my question. When I open up a pdf in Canva sometimes the tab at the top is the C logo and sometimes it looks like a talking bubble with a heart. Seems the ones in the heart I can edit and convert to whiteboards and the ones opened in C logo tab cannot be opened/expanded in whiteboard. Is there something I am doing wrong?
@@DarrenM That makes sense. I was thinking one was editable and the other not. But looking again that does not seem to be the case. Trying to figure out how to convert my Google Jamboards to Canva Whiteboards, yet have them still be editable. When I save Google Jamboard as PDF for some reason it is not editable in Canva, yet when I save Google Slides as PDF they are editable in Canva. Thank you for your response.
Your image shouldn’t have a white border. Unless you’re adding the image to a canvas that is bigger. Sounds like you want to just crop an image. In which case use the edit image option on the home page. And crop before adding it to a design.
The first few ways you showed how to crop... How in the world do you save it without all that white stuff around it???????? I frastrated the hell out of me for hours. I'm unable to save / export / use in anay way just the cropped portion of that image.
@@DarrenM The opposite of what free crop does. Ex: When using free crop to crop photo of a room with window and the crop cut the whole room, but what I want is to crop the window so I can add another image in the window. Anyway used a frame since couldn’t do it. Crop should have a crop in and crop out options.
This is not cropping!!! It's selecting a section of your image, the outer container you drag the image into will still remain, I'm sick of this bullshit! No one knows how to do this, indicating you cant do what can be done in nearly ever basic image editor
@@matrilhamilton1568 given your attitude I’m surprised anyone would help you. Try being kind and understanding what it is you want to do. But coming to my channel you’re not someone I’d like to have in my community. A good luck finding an answer and maybe try a chill pill.
Darren and Canva what a team . Creating made easy. Thank you
Thank you ☺️
Well explained! Thank You
Great easy video for a beginner like me! Thanks!
You're very welcome. Let me know if you have any questions, and I will create a video about them.
Super helpful. Thanks!
Great info explained nicely!
Thank you ☺️

How to crop a specify item out of an image and paste it on another image? For example, a product logo.
You can try image grab that might work. It depends on the logo. But it’s probably best to recreate the logo with a designer.

@@rrmatt4660 so you’re trying to crop elements? Let me check.
@@rrmatt4660 sometimes the best option is to cover them up in some way.

Sounds like different types of pdf maybe. 🤔 I’d have to see them to be sure.

How to remove the white boarder created by canva when you crop an image... I need images without the white boarders.
Your image shouldn’t have a white border. Unless you’re adding the image to a canvas that is bigger.
Sounds like you want to just crop an image. In which case use the edit image option on the home page. And crop before adding it to a design.
I've tried cropping on Canva. It seems to work fine, but when I download, there's a white border around it.
Try selecting it and download the selection if you’re on a design. Or just open it in the image editing modal
When I crop/ resize image, IT DISAPPEARS---I 've tried multiple different solutions, nothing has worked!! Please help!!
@@chuckparkins8267 sounds like a support issue. Sorry I can’t help with this. It shouldn’t just vanish.

Actually, the best way is on this video th-cam.com/video/EBG4dTNr6Fg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GbBM8IuWxB6wiklP
So no way to crop inside the square? The developer dont use Canva I guess. Too limited 😢
Not sure what you’re trying to do, as your comment isn’t clear. You can crop an image any way you need to. In to pretty much any shape you want to.
