If you are interested in your creative work on the internet, then you should add a watermark there. Whether it’s for recognition or recognition, applying a watermark to your images, posters, or any other digital work makes things easier. Many photo editing software include an option to add a watermark to your photos. However, if you want to create custom watermarks, Canva is a great source for creating free watermarks.
Canva is a graphic and creative option for some users who want to create digital posters, graphics, logos etc without any hassle.
Check out Canva’s tips and tricks to get your way before you get started. And then read about how to create a watermark on the Canva web.
Create a watermark with Canva on the desktop
While Canva’s mobile app gets the job done, it’s the desktop version where the real action happens. Follow the steps below.
Step 1: Go to Canva on the web.
Step 2: On the Canva Homepage, type Logo in the Search box and select the first result.
You must be wondering why we are looking for Logo to create watermark on Canva. We will first create the brand logo, then convert it to a watermark with editing and exporting options.
Then we’ll cover how to implement the created watermark for your original images or digital posters on Canva. With that in mind, continue with the steps.
Step 3: From the logo design page, you can browse through hundreds of pre-made logo templates.
You can also create logos from scratch, but we like to use logo templates because the experts design them and Canva always has beautiful templates. That’s one of Canva’s strengths over the competition.
Step 4: Choose the template you like and start editing with the available editing tools.
Note: Many models carry the ‘Pro’ label. To use some images, text, templates, and other content on Canva, you need a Canva Pro subscription. Canva Pro is available for $12.95 per month. Using Canva Pro, you can even create your own Branding Kit.
Step 5: On the design page, you can choose a template for your logo on the left hand side. Now you can play around and add text, images, shapes, backgrounds and other options.
Step 6: You can change the font, rotate it and place it anywhere you want.
Step 7: After designing the perfect logo, it’s time to play with transparency here.
It won’t look good or ideal if you’re trying to use a custom logo as a watermark. The watermark should be subtle and should blend in with your digital artwork without spoiling the original design.
Step 8: Click the Transparency menu in the upper right corner and reduce the number to 50-60 for an ideal experience.
Step 9: Once satisfied with the transparency of the watermark, you can press the Download button at the top.
Don’t forget to enable the Transparent Background toggle, or else you’ll get an ugly white background in the watermark.
Add watermark to images in Canva Desktop
Now that you’ve created the watermark in Canva, it’s time to implement the watermark for the image. Go through the steps below.
Step 1: Go to the Canva homepage and click Create Design in the upper right corner.
Step 2: Select Edit Photo from the following menu.
Step 3: It will open the image selection menu.
Step 4: Select the image to which you want to apply the created watermark and import it into Canva.
Uploading images will take some time depending on the image file size.
Step 5: Select Edit photo. It will open a new tab with the editing interface.
Step 6: First, you need to upload the watermark image to Canva.
Step 7: Click Upload on the left sidebar and use the Upload Media option to add the watermarked image to Canva.
Canva also allows you to upload files from Google Drive or Dropbox.
Step 8: Click on the watermark, add it to your image, resize it and place it at the bottom or top or center – wherever you want. In the example below, we have added a watermark to the bottom right corner.
That’s it. Hit the Download button at the top and download the image to your computer.
Create a custom watermark in Canva
One can also create watermarks in Canva using the mobile app. But the experience isn’t ideal and we don’t recommend using it.
Follow the steps above and start creating your personal brand watermark on Canva. You can also use similar software to implement watermarks for images.
