Creating a smooth fade effect for images in Canva is quite easy, the Easy Reflections app. This blog will guide you through the process step by step, so you can seamlessly blend your images with any background color or design.
Step 1: Choose Your Image and Background
- Open Canva and upload the image you want to work with.
- Set a background color or design for your design.
For example, in this case, I want to blend this yellow and orange image with an an orange background for a warm, vibrant look.
Step 2: Access the Easy Reflections App
- Navigate to the Apps section in Canva.
- Search for Easy Reflections in the app library.
3. Click to open and use the app.
Step 3: Use the Easy Reflections Tool

- In the Easy Reflections app, choose the area of the image you want to fade. For example:
- If you want the bottom part of the image to fade, adjust the settings accordingly.
- Use the Opacity slider to select the amount of blend you want
Pro tip:
I would recommend that you keep Opacity at 100% if you want most of the image to show.
3. Adjust the Offset to control the fade intensity. For instance, you can fade the edges while keeping the important parts, like a person’s arm, visible.
Step 4: Apply and Refine
- Click Add to Design to apply the effect
2. Review your design. If needed, delete the original image layer and keep the faded one.
3. Fine-tune the fade settings to achieve the desired effect.
Step 5: Preview the Final Design
- Once applied, your image will smoothly blend into the background
2. Experiment with different areas (top, bottom, sides) and offsets to explore creative possibilities.
