Y’know what is my biggest challenge when it comes to Reels? Showing you lovely lot how to do something cool on Canva with just 60 precious seconds.
I can only imagine it can be even more of an effort to follow step by step! In case ya don’t quite fancy hearing my voice on loop, here’s a step by step guide on our most recent Canva hack Reel. #YaWelcomes
Whether you’re the Founder of a business and breaking away from the company IG account to focus on a personal brand this year, or a freelance marketing powerhaus … we think this little hack’ll be one you want to get around.
If you whip this up in Canva? Take a screenshot of your new and improved bio and tag us in IG stories … I live/s* for this sh*t, ha!
Ps. You’re gonna need Canva Pro for this to work!
Pss. This can work for your LinkedIn and TikTok profile photos too! 😉
Step 1:
Head to Canva and select ‘Instagram Post’ [1080 x 1080 px]
Step 2:
Select ‘Elements’ and go to ‘Line & Shapes’ then pick the circle.
Step 3:
A lovely round circle should now appear on your design. Drag it out to make it a little bigger, and then change it to the colour you’d like your background to be.
Step 4:
Now go back to ‘Elements’ and scroll down until you get to ‘Frames’ then select the circle frame.
Step 5:
A lovely circle with a Teletubbies style graphic on top should now appear on your design. Drag this out so it is the same size as your background coloured circle.
Step 6:
Upload the image you’d like your profile picture to be, and drag it on top of that Teletubbies grass and sky graphic.
Step 7:
Tap ‘Edit image’ and then select ‘Background Remover’ [you need Canva Pro for this handy feature!]
Step 8:
Voila, the background has gone. Now select ‘Crop to’ take up more of the circle.
Step 9:
Finally, download it and now it’s yours to show off that lovely face of yours across your social media profiles!
