Using FontFrame

FontFrame is a new addition to Canva.

It lets you put pictures inside your words.

Here’s how to use it:

STEP 1: Look for a button that says “Upload Image”. Click on this to add the picture you want to use.

STEP 2: After you upload your picture, you’ll see a box where you can type your words.

STEP 3: Type the words you want to fill with your picture.

STEP 4: You can make the picture bigger or smaller inside the words. Look for a slider that says “Image Scale” and move it left or right.

STEP 5: If you want to change how your words look, you can! Look for a section called “Settings”. Here, you can:

• Choose a different font
• Change how the words line up
• Make more or less space between letters
• Make more or less space between lines
• Make the outline of the letters thicker or thinner

A Helpful Tip

When you’re typing your words, try using at least two words. Put one word above the other.

This often looks better than just one word.

Things to Think About

Now that you know how to use FontFrame, let’s think about some other things:

• Why do you think putting pictures in words looks cool?
• What kinds of pictures do you think would look best inside words?
• Can you think of a time when you’ve seen words with pictures inside them before?

These are all good things to think about as you make your own designs.

Why FontFrame is a Cool App

FontFrame is a neat tool because it lets you do something that used to be really hard.

Before FontFrame, putting pictures inside words was tricky. You had to use complicated computer programs to do it. Now, anyone can do it easily with Canva and FontFrame.

This tool lets you be creative in new ways. You can make your words say even more by choosing the right picture to go inside them. It’s like giving your words a secret message!

Now you know how to put pictures inside words using Canva and FontFrame.

This is a fun way to make your designs look special.

Remember, the best way to get good at this is to practice. Try making different designs. Use different words, pictures, and fonts.
