    This is great but I really want to know how to add the beautiful writing (like you have in the title of this post) to your reel cover photo! Can you please help?:)

      Oh Nikki I’m so sorry I’m just seeing this comment. You can make the image box smaller (shorter) and leave some room at the top. Then on the left in Canva, you will see a “Text” box. Select that and it’ll open up some premade text or you can select any text you’d like. Drop it in and drag it to where you want it to go. You can change the size, color etc at the top in the Tool area for text (make sure you select the text first for it to pop up). I hope that helps!
