What you need
Steps
Open Canva and click Create a design, then Custom size. Enter 2000 x 2000 px so the frame stays sharp when it is printed or sold as a download.
Find a clock face image on a free stock site such as Pixabay, Unsplash or Freepik. Search for clock face or clock dial and pick one with a plain white or transparent background.
Download the clock face, then go to Uploads in Canva and upload the file. Drag it onto the canvas and resize it until it fills most of the square.
Open Apps and run Frame Maker. Use it to turn the clock face into a frame so that photos can drop into the round hour positions.
Upload your photos, then drag each one into a frame slot. Canva drops the photo inside the shape, and you can double click to nudge the crop.
Keep the numbers or markers visible. If a photo covers them, shrink the photo inside its frame rather than moving the frame itself.
Use the Collage Maker app to arrange extra photos around the outside of the clock, or skip this step for a plain frame.
Soften harsh photo edges with Image Blender, then add clock hands or a caption with Text Art Maker if you want them.
Click Share, then Download. Choose PNG and tick the transparent background box if you want to place the frame on other designs.
Save the design as a Canva template, or open the free template from the video and swap in your own photos.
Tips and common mistakes
Crop every photo to a square before uploading so the faces inside the clock frames do not stretch.
Use photos of the same person or the same event for a themed frame, and mix wide and close shots for variety.
Download at the largest size Canva offers, since small exports look blurry when printed.
Check Canva's licence terms before you sell anything built from their stock elements.
Questions
Do I need Canva Pro for this?
No. A free Canva account covers the basics, though some stock photos and apps are Pro only. Swap those for free alternatives or upload your own images.
How do I put a photo inside the clock shape?
Drag the photo over the frame until the frame outline highlights, then release. Double click the photo to adjust which part shows inside the shape.
Can I print the finished frame?
Yes. Download as PNG for digital use or PDF Print for paper, and pick a size like 8 x 8 inches to match a standard photo frame.
