Many of us here do blogging, and we know the importance of copyright-free images. Even though there are many sites to get a free image, sometimes they are not very attractive or require us to give credit.
Therefore this method is for everyone who wants to create a copyright-free image that will look stunning, and I am using this method to create a copyright-free image for my clients. And the best thing is, the method is beginner-friendly and does not involve using complicated and expensive software.
You only need the Canva free version or if you have Canva pro, things will be a little fast.
First let me show you the method to get Canva pro, once you have Canva pro come back and read further.
Use this method by @Dark Chocolate to get Canva premium(1 month free)
There is also some method in BHW to get a 1-year free Canva pro using Edu mail. I could not find it but if someone finds it, feel free to post the link in the comment.
Also, there are few sellers like @BentMo who are selling lifetime Canva pro access for $10.
If you don't want to use Canva pro, even the free version is more than enough for this method.
----------------------------------------
Now let's say I want to create a customized image for my blog " Why women live longer than men"
Note: Free version does not support background remover so you can use a site like a remove(dot)bg to remove the background image. after you remove the background you can upload it on Canva and you are ready to go
Apart from it, you can play with elements and colors to add depth to the image. After you're done playing with the image, you can download the image.
With this simple method, you will get an image like this. If you take more time, you will get an image that will look like it was designed by professionals. This is the final result. Now you have a customized copyright-free image that you can use anywhere without any worries. It only took me 5 minutes to do.
If you have any questions regarding Canva, feel free to post in the comment section and I will get back to it in my free time.
