Canva tip: How to create a text mask in Canva

Would you like to create a text mask in Canva? It’s actually quite easy.

A text mask is a letter  with an image inside. You can create some really nice effects for your graphics using this method.

That said, there is only one letter style, so if you are looking to create a text mask (like a metallic font) with a wide variety of fonts, I’ve got an alternative solution.

But if you’d rather stick with Canva, keep reading! In this tutorial, I’ve used the Chrome Extension Eyedropper to select colors. You can use free images in Canva or search for free images from sites like Pixabay.
