You can accomplish this in Canva, but your options are more limited. For instance, if you search the assets in Canva for the number 1 through 9, you might find a picture frame for those numbers. You can then drag and drop your photo into the frame (see below).

But, Canva doesn’t have the ability to customize the frames with your own words, shapes, or characters. That’s where Photoshop or PicMonkey come into play.

Once you learn how to do this, you can start generating all kinds of unique ways to use it in your visual marketing.
