Let's say you have created a design, or an ebook, or a PDF guide, or anything that you
want to showcase to your audience. It could be even a website UI design that you have created.
And you know they are going to see it ON their devices.
It could be laptop, desktop, tablet, mobile phone, anything, right!
So, why not showcase it as if they are viewing it on their device! That's where device frame
mockups will help you and in today's video we will see how to do that using Canva for free!
For this technique you don't need the Canva Pro
account - it should work with the Canva free account itself.
So, if you are on the Canva homepage, just hit on mockup and then click on
Enter key or Return key on your keyboard and that brings up all our Mockup templates here.
Make sure that you select this filter on the left hand side with the price. In case you have the
Pro account, you can choose whatever you want. But if you just have the Canva free account,
you can click on this free checkbox, so that only the free templates are showing up. Of course, even
within the free templates there are some which might have some of the elements that are paid
but however you could see most of the free templates here. Alright, so once here, you
can already see that there are some mockup frames available here. You can pickup whatever you want.
In case you don't find any here in the search results, you can always go to your design page
and simply search for "Frames" under the "Elements". Here you will find all of them
in one place. You can also have the eBooks or the book covers that can be
used through the frames here. Alright, so once I have the laptop here, I am also going to make this
little bit smaller - get the Desktop, bring this front / forward, bring out the Tablet and then add
them all over here. And then the Smartphone. Okay, this is actually a great way to showcase - may
be if you are writing an ebook, you can show your ebook cover here, how it looks on all the devices.
It also signifies that people can read your book on all these digital devices. Please also take
some time to check the guidebook that I have created for Canva with some design ideas, brand
codes, and keywords. That's available for purchase for a small price in my Gumroad shop. The link
is given in the description below. It took a long time for me to create this guidebook and I really
hope you grab a copy and give it an opportunity to serve you in your creative work with Canva. Okay,
so once this is setup all that you need to do is to customize your text as how you want it
and then upload any of your images and then directly drag and drop it in to this frame.
Let's quickly see how that is also shown. Alright, here is one of my recent video's thumbnail which
I am going to use here for this purpose. I am going to drag and drop this inside this
frame and you can see that it automatically perfectly fits inside. Okay, anyway this,
as you can see, doesn't exactly fit in so you can customize by double-clicking on it and then
moving your image on however you want to make it visible. So, that way you could customize it.
In case you don't find suitable frame here you can also go back to your searching where
you found may be a template that is not available here. And then you can simply open that in a new
tab - click on it and then copy this by right clicking or just may be a control or command c
on your keyboard - come back to your design page and simply paste it and then if it's grouped,
remember to ungroup that. So that you can delete the embedded image within that gadget frame
and then you can drag and drop your image in to this frame. So that way also you can bring in,
any other device mockup from any other Canva template. In case if whatever you found inside
the elements frames are not satisfactory to you. I hope you get the idea of how to use the mockup
frames in Canva so that you can showcase whatever designs you have created and then save this is
a picture and that can be used on your website or may be just on your social media or Instagram,
so that you can provide that look and feel of how your designs will look on various devices.
