Thank you for this great video. However, I am still having difficulty. I am trying to make a frame out of a very simple logo. I have followed all your instructions but do not get the option in PowerPoint to "convert to shape". When I try to fill the shape, it fills the entire rectangle of my graphic rather than the pieces of the logo. I even tried connecting the pieces with a line like you demonstrated and still doesn't work. Any advice you could offer would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! Thank you for the video. I just tried it several times using your exact directions, however, like below, when I insert the image in powerpoint, it makes the image fill the whole letter (I used a "G" to try). At one point I was able to get the G with sections (although it did not pick up one of the lines), but then in canva when I went to insert a pic, it filled the whole letter, not just one section. It recognizes it still as one large image.

@@digitalartwithcanva yes! Curious what you think about putting a border around these elements afterwards. I simply made a copy of the letter and hollowed it with a thin border. Seems to work for a tight frame. I do see some people with an outline that is not directly touching the images...sort of a floating outline. Not sure how to do that

@@digitalartwithcanva I used text to write a word. Converted it to an image rather than text. Made all my lines to split up the sections. Downloaded it as png and converted to svg. Added to PowerPoint. Converted to shape. Saved as pdf. Upload to Canva. Then when I select to add to canvas, it drops in as individual rectangles of each letter as a whole rather than broken up into all the pieces I created with the lines. I then thought maybe it was because I used a word so I tried all the steps with circles, basically exactly like your video and it didn’t work either.
