Whether you've finished editing a photo, completed a collage, or want to start a new graphic design, BeFunky makes it easy to begin another project without manually clearing your canvas.
Use the Open menu to start a new project in the Photo Editor, Collage Maker, or Graphic Designer. You can choose an existing image, start with a template or blank canvas, or create a custom image using Image Generator.
Start a New Project Using the Open Menu
The Open menu lets you start a new project while you're already working in BeFunky. The available options depend on which application you're using.
- Photo Editor: Select Open to choose an image from your computer or another available source. You can also select Image Generator under New Image to create a custom AI-generated image.
- Collage Maker: Select Open, then choose Start a New Collage.
- Graphic Designer: Select Open to choose a template, blank canvas, or existing image. To create a custom image, select Image Generator under New Design.
Pro Tip: In the Photo Editor and Graphic Designer, you can also start a new project using an image in your Image Manager. Select the image thumbnail, then choose Start New Project.
Step 1: Select Open from the Main Navigation Bar, then choose the image or type of project you'd like to start.
Step 2: If you have unsaved work on your current canvas, BeFunky will ask whether you want to save your changes before opening the new project.
- Save: Save your current work before starting a new project.
- Don't Save: Continue to the new project without saving your current changes.
Once you've made your selection, your new image or project will open on the canvas.

Clear the Canvas With the Reset Button
If you'd prefer to clear your current canvas before starting something new, you can use the Reset button.
This option is available in the Photo Editor, Collage Maker, and Graphic Designer.
Step 1: Select Reset from the Bottom Bar.
Step 2: A confirmation message will appear, letting you know that resetting the canvas will clear your current project and any unsaved changes.
- Select Yes to clear the canvas.
- Select No to return to your current project.
Important Note: Resetting the canvas will remove any unsaved work. If you'd like to keep your changes, select No and save your project before resetting.
Step 3: Once the canvas has been cleared, select Open to begin a new project.
Starting a New Project When Returning to BeFunky
When you return to BeFunky, you may see a previously open project or be prompted to choose whether you'd like to continue editing or start something new.
If your Open Project Settings are set to Ask Me Every Time, you'll be presented with two options:
- Start New: Clear the previously open project and begin with a new canvas.
- Continue Editing: Reopen your previous project and continue where you left off.
Important Note: Selecting Start New clears the previously open project. If that project hasn't been saved, you may not be able to recover your work. Choose Continue Editing if you'd like to keep working on it or save it first.
