  • @dogsarethebestfriends
    @dogsarethebestfriends Рік тому +35

    Great tips and ideas! Helps to see how simple it really can be.
    I believe the only thing left out is that you need to check copyright for the photo from Google. Remember that Google (and any search engine) just finds you pics from other websites.
    It could be copyrighted and the owner might not appreciate it being used. Best to check where the pic came from and also give credit in the description. Canva might have a decent pic too - couldn’t hurt to check their stock photos.
    Had to say it because… educator here 😅
    Thanks Nolan!

      Also not sure if you can do the same on android, but on iPhones you can long press on the subject of a photo to select it, then I just copy and paste the subject (for my thumbnails, a pic of me) and email to myself so I can upload it to Canva.
