Hey everyone. In this video tutorial,
0:01
I'm going to show you how to blur edges
0:03
in Canva. I'm going to show you a
0:05
circular and a rectangular way to blur
0:07
edges. Go to the left of the screen and
0:10
find elements. Then type in rectangle
0:16
and add a rectangle shape to your
0:18
project. Then put it over the picture
0:24
resize it to the exact same shape, to
0:31
Then click on the element and click on
0:37
Scroll down to the very bottom and
0:38
choose a gradient. It doesn't matter
0:40
which one. Just choose any.
0:43
Click on the gradient and go back to
0:44
color one more time. From document
0:47
colors, click on the one that you're
0:52
and then choose from styles a circular
0:54
gradient. Go back to color one more
0:57
time. Click on the one that you're on
1:01
and then you can see the gradient colors
1:04
Go to the first one, which is the one in
1:06
the middle, and the opacity of it you
1:09
should change to zero.
1:12
Then go to the second one and change the
1:14
color of it to white.
1:18
I find that for my picture specifically,
1:20
it's good to use more than just two
1:22
gradients to more than just two colors.
1:25
But this will depend on the project
1:31
You're going to have to through trial
1:35
how your pictures bl looks the best. I
1:38
find that for this one specifically, the
1:40
second to last one should be about 50%
1:50
And then I'm going to add one more
1:51
that's a solid color.
1:53
And this way we have a circular blur on
1:57
our picture to make sure that this
1:59
doesn't move as you edit your project.
2:03
Highlight both of them and then click on
2:05
group. All right, this is how to do a
2:08
circular blur. Now I'm going to show you
2:11
how to do a rectangular one. Use the
2:13
same method. Put a rectangle over
2:17
the picture. Click on color and choose a
2:20
gradient. And then once you have the
2:22
gradient, you do not have to choose a
2:24
circular gradient. You can just use what
2:28
change the first color to the same color
2:31
as your background. Mine is white, so
2:32
I'm going to choose white. And then
2:35
change the second color's opacity to
2:39
And also the color of it to white
2:44
or to the same color that your
2:49
and then go back and change the shape of
2:57
In this case too, you'll be able to add
3:00
new colors with this method. You can
3:02
make the blur smoother or a bit harsh,
3:05
whatever you want your picture to look
3:07
like in the end. And once you're done
3:11
copy and paste this element
3:15
and then place it on all four sides
3:19
of the picture you're using.
3:29
Once you're done with this, highlight
3:31
all of the elements and group them
3:38
All right, this is how to blur edges in
3:39
