[dodgewagen]

Thank you, Greg! Very useful and clearly explained!

[kaylablock]

this is the best tutorial i've found on this topic and the 3rd one i tried

[emmaquerecuto]

I tried 6 different ways and yours was the ONE RIGHT WAY.

Great vid, loving your easy to follow instruction.
One question, no one’s been able to answer on other tutorials, once I got the frame sorted and in canva ready for use, how do I save it for later use or for someone else to use as a frame? Is it simply a format question in saving or more involved?
Thanks.

Exactly what I need it
Thank you very much :)

Great tutorial Greg. I have an issue, maybe you can solve, and then make a tutorial from it. I've got your creating frames hack down. Now I was wondering if you could make a tutorial about mockups? Specifically about placing an image, behind a reflection in a glass frame. I found one YT video on this, but it had no words, nor instructions. So I didn't really understand the steps. The YT channel I'm referring to is; Frame mockup using Photopea by Artjafara. If you wouldn't mind checking this out, and making a vid tutorial of it. It would be super helpful. I like the way you explain things. I hope you will give it a try. Thanks

Thank you so much. I'm good with Photoshop when it comes to vector masks, or masks in general.

Hello sir I hope you can help me, been using canva quite a bit but pretty new to photopea .
I don't have the "paths" option showing .
I have layers and channels but no paths option..
Is there a place where I need to turn it on or is there another toolbar I need to go to to get it from?
Thanks in advance"

Can you please make a video of something partially framed for example the girl with a red shirt, if we want to make a frame of only her shirt or only her hair how can we do that ( and the frame is still attached to the original picture) like it's still a part of the picture

[ayakaganig]

Thank you for another amazing tutorial. When you make frames with canva elements that originally pro content, and bringing it back after converting to pdf in photopea, I can share with people with canva non pro account and they will be able to use it without problem, correct?

[justmyopinion]

Please can you do a tutorial on how to create a frame for a phone cover. It would be useful for those of us that want to create mocks from a photograph

[Wrightn]

I need frames for t shirts designs. Thanks Greg!!!

[SusansColorfulExpressions]

This was so helpful, thank you! I have Free Canva, but also Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, which will help me make my own frames.

Hi Greg, thank you for sharing such great videos. I have learnt so much. I followed along the steps to create the frame using photopea but somehow when I open the pdf inside Canva, it’s not being recognized as a frame just an image. Which step went wrong? I tried 5 times and only once I managed to get a pdf that worked. The other 4 pdfs didn’t. But they are all based on the same canva png I created. Any insight appreciated!

Hello, will you be able to create a video on how to create a Canva frame in an image, such as a 16:9 size TV ratio, that is in a living room setting as if you have taken a picture and the TV is displayed at an angle. NOT front-facing. if so, this would be greatly appreciated. Your videos are so inspiring. Thank you so much.

I tried doing this on an IPad and the vector mask current path is greyed out. Should I try it on my Apple laptop?

[tinaharlow]

it isn't allowing me to click the path button at the bottom of photopea, then when i click on current path under vector mask drop down, it is removing my image altogether and just leaving a transparent background. Any tips on this?

Can you update this for ios and also the iPad
