How to make memes in Canva

Canva is ideal for those who want more experimental edits. Although the application has predefined templates available, users can create their own templates. In addition, the app has many (but many!) free customization options.

The step-by-step below is for you to do the basics in the app, but the biggest tip here is to explore well and discover everything Canva has to offer.

1. Download Canva from the App Store or Play Store and open it on your device;
2. Select the type of post you want, right below “Create a design”;
3. You can proceed with a blank template or choose an app option;
4. In my case, I clicked on the blank post. After that, select “Uploads” and choose the desired photo for the meme;
5. The image will be added to the template. From there, you can add texts and filters to your file. If you want, you can also insert more photos in the same template;
6. When finished, click on the “Share” icon in the upper right corner. You can share the image directly on some social network or save it on your cell phone.
