How Do I Use Pinterest Images in Canva?
Using Pinterest images on Canva can be a great way to create visually stunning designs. Whether you’re creating a poster for a business event, blog post graphics, or something else entirely, you can take advantage of the wide array of visuals on Pinterest and make your designs stand out.
However, before you begin creating your design in Canva, there are a few steps to take to ensure you are using Pinterest images properly and legally.
How Do I Use Pinterest Images in Canva?
The first step to using Pinterest images on Canva is to manually download the images from Pinterest.
Once you find an image on Pinterest that you’d like to use in Canva, click the three dots at the bottom right-hand corner of the image and select “Save Image.” This will download the image onto your computer, enabling you to upload it into Canva’s editor.
It’s important to note that some images found on Pinterest may have copyright or licensing restrictions associated with them. To ensure that the images you use in your designs are free from copyright infringement, go through the following steps:
1. Check the website or social media channel associated with the image. Some creators will provide licensing information on their website or channel that will tell you if an image can be used for commercial purposes or not.
2. If you can’t find licensing information for an image, try searching for its source on Google Images by right-clicking it and selecting “Search Google For Image”. This will help you find the original source of the photo, which hopefully will provide more information about its usage rights.
3. If all else fails, contact the owner of the photo directly and ask them if they are willing to grant you permission to use their photo in your design.
Once you have downloaded an image from Pinterest and taken steps to ensure it can be used without infringing any copyright laws, it’s time to upload it into Canva’s editor.
To do this, open up Canva and select “Uploads” from the left-hand side panel. From here, click “Upload Your Own Images” and select the file from your computer that contains the image you would like to use in your design. You can then drag and drop this image into Canva's editor and start creating!
Conclusion
Using Pinterest images on Canva is a great way to give your designs a unique touch, but it’s important that you take steps to ensure that you are using these images legally and within their intended usage rights.
By following these steps when downloading images from Pinterest and uploading them into Canva's editor, you can be sure that your designs are safe from any copyright infringement issues!
