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.


Canva pro method:​


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.


Method to create customized copyright free image


1) First go to canva.com and log in. Once you log in go to create a design and click on it.​

2) Once you click it you will see a custom size where you can type your desired image dimension. For example, let's do 740*400​

3) Now you will be redirected to the main page where you can design an image. It looks something like this.​

----------------------------------------

Now let's say I want to create a customized image for my blog " Why women live longer than men"


4) Go to Image and search "women". Select one image that gives a positive vibe. For example happy looking women.​

5) After that go to effects and click on background remover to remove the background. Now you can put any background you want in that image.​

6) Select the background. It can be anything like simple colors or images. I will simply choose the color​

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


7) Now Go to Text and choose any text style you want to write. I Like the font "banger". You can also use the option "effects" to make the text look better.​

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.

Thanks for the share OP, I just have a question:
What if the image I used is from the pro elements(copyrighted), does customize it will make it copyright-free?
 
Awesome method, even though I have Canva Pro paid, the way you created blog post images way cooler than my way atm.
Thank you very much. Never too late to learn good stuff.

If you have canvas pro, you can use all the elements for free. If not just customize it a little bit and you are good to go.

Also if you still worried about it, you can just download free elements from google, upload it on canva and use it.
 
I've seen WP Eagle do this for blog posts
Appreciate it.
Canva has all the decent font styles one could think of.

OH brother, MAny thanks . You are a Life saver
Almighty blesss you.
 
This does not give you a copyright-free image.

But it makes your use of copyright images more difficult to detect.

Nice method. Just be aware.
 
Obviously no longer possible except for the pro version !

why?
if you click the three-dot on the photos, it will show a message of free use for personal or commercial.
 
Canva is super good and cheap, if you can afford it, just pay them they deserve it.
