To replace an image in Canva across all your designs, go to Projects > Images, click the 3-dot menu on the image, and select “Replace Across Designs.” For a single-frame change, just drag a new image over the existing one in your design.

If you’re updating your Canva projects and need to swap out an old logo or image, this quick guide shows you two ways to do it: one that updates the image across all your designs (great for logos), and another to replace an image inside a specific frame or mockup. You’ll save time and keep your designs fresh—whether you’re using Canva Free or Canva Pro.

Method 1: Replace Images Across All Canva Designs (Pro Only)

Step 1: Go to Projects & Filter by Images

  • From the Canva homepage, click on Projects.
  • Select the filter type as Images to view your uploaded files.

Step 2: Choose the Image You Want to Replace

  • Click to preview the image and ensure it’s the one you want to update.

Step 3: Click the 3-Dot Menu and Select “Replace Across Designs”

  • Look for the crown icon—this is a Canva Pro feature.
  • Select “Replace Across Designs.”

Step 4: Select Where You Want to Replace

  • Canva will list all designs where the image is used.
  • You can choose specific ones or click Select All.

Step 5: Upload the New Image

  • Click “Continue” and then either upload a file or drag and drop one from your desktop.
  • Review the preview and confirm to replace the image.

Method 2: Replace an Image Inside a Design or Mockup

Step 1: Add a Frame or Use an Existing One

  • Open your Canva design and add a frame (or use a mockup with an image inside).

Step 2: Drag Your Image Into the Frame

  • Select the image you want and drag it into the frame to insert it.

Step 3: Replace the Image by Dragging a New One Over It

  • To replace, just drag a new image directly over the existing one in the frame.
  • It will snap into place and replace the old image instantly.
