hi in this video I'm going to show you
0:02
on how you can crop an image diagonally
0:05
in canva and there are three methods
0:08
that I'm about to show you but before we
0:10
start I want to let you know that
0:12
cropping an image diagonally in canva is
0:15
just not possible it is not something
0:17
that is available natively in the
0:18
platform the only cropping technique
0:22
that we that we have in this platform is
0:24
either vertically or horizontally so if
0:26
you have this image for example uh you
0:29
see that you can click on any of these
0:31
four control points and then you can
0:33
drag it to the left or to the right to
0:35
make the image to be bigger or smaller
0:37
or basically you can control which part
0:39
of the image you want to to be visible
0:41
and which part that you want to crop but
0:44
the same cannot be said for the control
0:47
points that are located on the corner of
0:49
the image if you click on any of those
0:51
you can basically see that it is for
0:54
resizing it is not for cropping so how
0:56
do you actually crop an image diagonally
1:00
so you can get the result that look like
1:01
this well let me show you the first
1:04
method okay I'm going to duplicate this
1:07
page so the first method is basically we
1:10
are going to be using a frame so frame
1:13
is a feature in confa that is
1:15
essentially like a placeholder for an
1:17
image and then you can put an image into
1:19
the frame and the image will will follow
1:22
the shape of the frame let me show you
1:24
how go to elements and then you can
1:27
search for frame
1:30
and there is going to be this option
1:32
click see all and I'm going to insert
1:35
this diamond shape and after that I'm
1:37
going to click on this image and then
1:39
drag it to this diamond shape so this
1:43
Frame is basically containing the image
1:45
and now we have an image that's kind of
1:50
crop diagonal even though it wasn't but
1:53
you know in some way it is similar to
1:56
when you're cropping an image diagonally
1:58
so that was the first method
2:00
the second method is we are going to
2:02
create an illusion of an image like it
2:05
was being cropped diagonally let me go
2:08
back and I'm going to duplicate this
2:10
page
2:11
again notice that the background is
2:13
white and we can actually exploit that
2:15
we can put a Content an element on the
2:19
corner let's say on the bottom left
2:21
corner and also the top right corner of
2:23
the image and the result will be similar
2:27
to uh the first example that I show you
2:30
and this is actually pretty easy so what
2:32
you need to do now is you have to go to
2:34
elements and you want to insert shapes
2:37
click see all and I'm going to select
2:39
this object which is also the diamond
2:42
shape let's change the color to white
2:45
and after that I'm going to drag it
2:48
right
2:49
here and I'm going to duplicate this
2:53
element and I'm going to put it here so
2:56
that will give us a result that is
3:00
similar to cropping an image diagonally
3:02
although this is again Just an Illusion
3:05
and you have to work with the background
3:08
as well if the background is gradient
3:09
then it's pretty much impossible so that
3:12
brings us to the third method so for the
3:16
third method is actually not difficult
3:18
and the third method is actually the one
3:20
that I have uh show you the example
3:23
before so let me show you how first this
3:27
is the image uh you have to put an image
3:29
into a new canas and after that you want
3:32
to rotate it let's say uh 30° and make
3:37
sure everything is within the
3:40
frame okay so when you're done you want
3:42
to click share click download make sure
3:45
to select the PNG file enable transfer
3:50
background this is very important and
3:52
I'm going to download this current page
3:54
just this page that which is this image
3:57
that I want to download to my computer
3:58
click down and click
4:02
download okay now the image is being
4:05
downloaded and I'm going to upload this
4:07
image to my confa account so this image
4:11
is coming from this image uh they're
4:13
actually almost the same but this one is
4:16
actually has a different shape or
4:19
different orientation and that is one
4:21
thing that is very important let me
4:23
remove this image and let's put this
4:26
image in the
4:28
middle all right everything looks good
4:31
now we can crop this image normally by
4:34
using the uh vertical or horizontal
4:37
cropping you can click let's say on this
4:39
one and then you can also click on this
4:42
one you can even click on this one you
4:45
can crop the bottom part as well and
4:47
when you're done you can rotate the
4:50
image back to the original position so I
4:53
think it was 30° if I'm not
4:55
mistaken so it's back to - 30° and we
4:59
got this result you can make the image
5:01
bigger and yeah this is pretty much how
5:04
you can drop an image sorry you can C up
5:08
an image diagonally in Cana so yeah I
5:11
think it's pretty cool anyway I hope you
