Why should you use this feature?

Canva is a versatile online design platform that empowers users to create stunning graphics effortlessly.

Fading the edges of a photo in Canva enhances the aesthetic appeal by softening harsh lines and blending the image seamlessly with the background.

This effect can evoke emotions, create a dreamy look, and direct the viewer's focus to the image's center.

Such subtle edits are beneficial for producing polished design projects that leave a lasting impression.
