Elements
When creating your content you have the ability to add different elements to your canvas. These elements are all found under the Add drop down to the left of your canvas.
Text
This adds a text box onto your canvas.
Here you can:
- Type the text you want to include
- Change the font
- Upload a specific font
- Change the font size
- Change the text box size
- Change the text colour and opacity
- Add a border to the text box.
Image
This allows you to add an image.
You can either add your own image (either upload your files into the box provided, or select from your Media Library), or use our Unsplash plugin to search over 1 million free to use stock images.
When uploading new images to your Media Library, select the folder you want them to be added to, and Browser or drag your files into the box. Supported filetypes are JPG, JPEG, or PNG.
You are also able to edit your images using the tool bar across the top of your canvas.
