Using Elements and Photos in Canva

When to Use This Guide and Overview
Learn how to make the most out of the Canva library by understanding how elements and photos are sorted and how to effectively search for what you need. This guide will help you find the right content and artists' works quickly.

Understanding Search Results Relevance
When you search for elements in Canva, the results are based on the keywords you use. For instance, searching "flower" will likely return items like floral arrangements, plants, and nature-themed elements. Each element has associated tags that help match your search terms, so precise keywords will yield the best results.

Determining 'Most Likely to be Used' Elements
Our search function considers various factors to provide relevant results. We look at the element’s quality, how well the title and keywords describe the content, and past performance. Items with high quality and accurate descriptions are more likely to appear in search outcomes, making them easier to find and utilize effectively. Avoid broad or unrelated keywords as they might lower the usefulness of search results.

Filtering Images by Specific Artists
To find images from a particular artist, follow these simple steps:

1. Go to the photos tab in the side panel.
2. Use the search query: **+artist:"Name of Artist"**.
3. You’ll see more images from the chosen artist.
