Whether you've finished a project or simply want to work on something new, you can quickly start a new project using the Open menu. There's no need to clear your current canvas first, just choose what you'd like to open next and continue working.
Start a New Project Using the Open Menu
The Open menu is the quickest way to start something new while you're already working in BeFunky. The available options depend on which section of the app you're using.
- Photo Editor: Open the Open menu and select where you'd like to open a new image from.
- Collage Maker: Open the Open menu and select Start a New Collage.
- Graphic Designer: Open the Open menu and select the type of design project you'd like to start.
Pro Tip: In the Photo Editor and Graphic Designer, you can also start a project directly from the Image Manager by right-clicking an image thumbnail and selecting Start New Project.
Step 1: Open the Open menu and select the image or type of project you'd like to start.
Step 2: If you have unsaved work on the canvas, you'll be asked whether you want to Save or Don't Save the current project.
- Select Save to save the current project to your BeFunky account before opening the new project.
- Select Don't Save to continue without saving the current project.
Once you've made your selection, the new image or project will load on the canvas, and you can continue editing.
Clear the Canvas With the Reset Button
You can also use Reset if you prefer to clear the current canvas before starting a new project. The Reset button is available in the Photo Editor, Collage Maker, and Graphic Designer.
Step 1: Select Reset from the bottom navigation bar.
Step 2: You'll see a message letting you know that the current project will be cleared and any unsaved changes will be lost. Select Yes to clear the canvas, or No to return to your project.
Important Note: If you clear a project that hasn't been saved, any unsaved changes will be lost. If you want to keep your work, select No and save it before resetting the canvas.
Step 3: Once the canvas is cleared, use the Open menu to start a new project.
Starting a New Project When Returning to BeFunky
When returning to BeFunky, a previously autosaved project may appear on the canvas. If you choose to start a new project, you'll see the option to Start New or Continue Editing the previously autosaved project.
This message appears when your Open Project Settings are set to Ask Me Every Time.
Select Start New to clear the previously open project and begin with a new canvas, or select Continue Editing to return to the previous project.
Important Note: If you select Start New, this will clear the current project on canvas, and you will not be able to retrieve it if it has not been saved. If you select Continue editing, you can continue to edit your project and save as needed.
