If you ask, we wouldn\u2019t suggest both as they lack flexibility and aren\u2019t reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an alternative to both, use a conventional photo editing tool like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, etc, where you can curve the image as you like. For instance, if you\u2019re looking to curve a specific edge, none of the above approaches work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"related-reading\">Related Reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-change-shape-of-image-in-canva\/\">How To Change Shape of Image in Canva<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-wrap-text-in-canva\/\">How To Wrap Text in Canva<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-freehand-crop-in-canva\/\">How to Freehand Crop in Canva<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you trying to curve an image in Canva?
