In this Canva tutorial, I’ll show you how to add glow effects in Canva to both photos and text, using simple built-in tools like Magic Grab, Shadows, and Glow effects — no external apps needed ⚡✨
I start with a photo of a car and use Magic Grab to isolate it from the background. Once selected, I go to Edit → Shadows → Glow and show how to customise the glow by adjusting the colour, size, blur, and intensity. I use a light blue glow to create a clean, modern neon-style effect.
Next, I demonstrate how to increase the border around the isolated car, allowing you to create a stronger and wider glow for dramatic or futuristic designs.
I then move on to text effects, showing how to add a neon glow to text using Canva’s built-in text effects. This is perfect for titles, posters, thumbnails, and social media graphics.
This tutorial is ideal for anyone wanting to create neon designs, glowing highlights, or eye-catching visuals quickly and easily in Canva.
