Create a Watermark Using Canva on Desktop

While Canva’s mobile app gets the job done, it’s the desktop version where the real action happens. Using the web tool, we will first create a brand logo and then convert it to a watermark with editing and export options. Follow the steps below to create your own Watermark in Canva with ease.

Step 1:VisitCanvaon the web and typeLogoin the Search box andselect the first result.

Step 2:From the logo designer page, you can browse through hundreds of pre-made logo templates.

You can also create a logo from scratch, but we would prefer to go with a logo template as professionals design them, and Canva always had beautiful templates. It’s one of the strong suits of Canva compared to the competition.

Step 3:Selectthetemplateyou like and start the editing with the built-in editing tools.

Note:Many templates carry the ‘Pro’ label. To use certain images, text, templates, and other assets on Canva requires aCanva Pro subscription. Canva Pro is available for $12.95 per month.

Step 4: On the designing page, you canselect a templatefor your logo on the left-hand side. Now, you can play around and add text, images, shapes, backgrounds, and other options.

For instance, you can change the font, rotate it, and place it wherever you want.

Step 5:After designing the perfect logo, it’s time tomodify the transparency. To do that,clickon theTransparency menuat the upper right corner and decrease the number to 50-60 for an ideal result.

It won’t look good or ideal if you try to use the custom logo as a watermark. If you ask us, a watermark has to be subtle and should blend into your digital art without messing up the original design.

Step 6:After you are satisfied with the watermark transparency, you can hit the Download button at the top.

Make sure to enable the Transparent Background toggle, otherwise, you will end up with an unwanted white background in the watermark.
