Copy and match graphic styles

Save time and give your design a consistent look with Style Match. Copy a style from one element to another in just a few steps.

Copy the artistic style from an element and apply it to another graphic or photo.

Change graphics and photos using ready-made styles like Cartoon, Sketch, or 3D Art. Styles you've used recently appear at the front of the list, so you can quickly reapply them.

• If you see "Style can't be pasted to this graphic," try applying the style to a different element. Some content has rules that prevent you from copying styles.
• If you see "This style is restricted," try copying from a different graphic. You can't copy styles from some partner content.
• If you see "You've reached the limit for now," wait 24 hours before using Style Match again.

You can copy the style of a photo, an image you’ve uploaded, or an image you’ve made with Canva’s AI tools. Then apply that style to another image in your design. This helps the photos in your design look like they belong together. You can also use it to give a photo a new look, like using the style of a studio photo to make your own photo look more professional.
