Why use blobs?
Blobs are simple, seemingly random, and organic looking shapes. These simple shapes can add a surprising amount of variety and flair to a design. They are often used as a secondary element to support a primary part of the design. Using blobs is a super easy way to elevate your design from what could be a blank and boring canvas, to something more interesting and visually appealing to your viewers.
How to add blobs in Canva
There are many ways you can add blobs within Canva. There are some preset static image blobs you can get from the media library, however these all look the same and don't change. If you are looking for a simple way to add randomly generated blobs, CanBlob is the way to go.
