In this video, I will show you how to flip basic shapes in Conva
0:05
As you already know, at this point, Conva doesn't have a native feature to flip shapes in the platform
0:12
which is quite interesting and also embarrassing for Conva because this is a tool that can do a lot of things
0:20
except for a basic flipping. So I have two elements right here. This is a basic shape, which is an arrow pointing to the right
0:28
while the other one is a picture of view and this is a factor graphic so as you can see i have
0:35
the option to flip this content to the left or to the right i can also flip it
0:39
particularly but the same cannot be set for a basic shape like this there is an option to flip that
0:46
so there are two work around that allows you to flip shapes which is not ideal but yeah these
0:54
two are the options that you can do right now so as you can see i i want to turn this arrow to from
1:02
pointing to the right and i want to flip it to the left to the left so one way to do that is by just
1:08
rotating the the shape like this i'm going to click on this icon and drag it to the left
1:15
and suddenly it has the same effect as flipping even though this is not exactly flipping and i can only
1:22
do this because this is this happened to be a simple arrow shape which probably not going to be applied to every shape every other shape so let move on to the second page i have this speech bubble then and of course you cannot just apply the same technique for this
1:39
particular shape it's not going to work so one way to solve that problem is by downloading the
1:47
shape as a picture and then we can upload the picture again to confer and then we can flip the content
1:52
so let me show you how i'm going to click share download and
1:57
and make sure to select bng so that way the content will be transparent and enable transparent
2:03
background and i only want to get the second page click done and click download
2:09
so canva will get you this picture sorry this shape as a picture and later you can upload the
2:15
content i'm going to just copy and paste it right here and uh just wait because it's
2:23
actually going to upload the content so we have to take it might take a few seconds to appear
2:30
There you go. So this is a regular shape, but this one is actually not shape anymore
2:36
This is a proper image that will give you plenty of options to modify the content
2:44
And as you can see, when you click on it, there is an option to flip either vertically or horizontally
2:50
So this is one way to solve the problem. And of course, this is not ideal, but at least we have this option
2:57
right now. Anyway, that's how you can flip shapes in Canva and I hope this video is helpful
