My image keeps getting cut off in Canva - why won't it fit properly inside a Canva frame?

You may sometimes find that you’re not able to fit some of your images into frames the way that you’d like.

You try to add the image but the edges keep getting cut off and you’re not able to resize it to be smaller inside of the frame such that the full image can be seen.

You’re able to easily enlarge the image inside of the Canva frame, but not make it smaller, and every time you try, it just continues to crop the image.

So what are you do in this situation?

In this quick video, I'll tell you why it's happening and what to do about it!

Hi Brenda, the design to image worked except the frame disappeared. It also disappears when I use the background remover. I want the image to show inside the frame. Please advice. Thanks.

Does the image you saved with the white border around it, does it have a transparent background when you create it, do you save it as a transparent background? Im trying to write myself a tutorial, and its been hit or miss with getting it right.

do you know how to do this with video? I'm trying to fit a video into a phone mockup but it always cuts off in the mockup. Any help is appreciated :)

Great tutorial. Do you have a tutorial covering actual picture frames. I have an image and I've tried to add a gold picture frame over it, but I'm not having any luck. When I drag the corners, the frame is either too big for the image or it gets cuts off. Thanks

I have a question - I'm trying to fit an iphone 15 size photo into a frame for a mockup. There are a couple of iphone 15 size frames on Canva but they have rounded corners and I don't like the way they look - anal, I know - is there a way to actually resize the image pixels to fit into the frame that I want?
