How to Add Emojis to Canva Graphics

Dec 2

If you’ve tried including emojis as text in Canva graphics before, you’ve likely come across an annoying gray box or blank space that appears in the emoji’s place once downloaded. Keep reading for a quick fix to successfully use emojis in Canva designs!

STEP 1: DOWNLOAD THE EMOJI FROM EMOJIPEDIA

Emojipedia is an emoji search engine that allows you to locate, discover the meaning of, and copy/paste or download any emoji. Rather than copying and pasting the emoji as text in Canva, it’s important to upload it as an image.

To do so, locate your image on Emojipedia. Next to the word “Apple,” left-click the emoji’s image and select “Save As.” This will save the emoji with a transparent background as a .PNG to your computer.

STEP 2: UPLOAD TO CANVA AS AN IMAGE

Once saved, upload the emoji image to Canva. From there, add the image to your Canva design and use as you please! Once downloaded, the emoji will display properly just like any other image.
