How to Use Canva Presentations

Make visually appealing presentations that'll stand out among others using Canva.

Sakshi Garg

Canva, a graphic design platform, is gaining a lot of traction as a design tool. Its basic premise – it’s just as easy to use for non-designers. You don’t need to be an expert in graphic designing to use Canva, and that is one of the main reasons behind its popularity.

With design becoming one of the hottest commodities for just about every field, Canva makes it accessible to everyone. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a marketer, influencer, or a blogger, you can use Canva to make fetching content for social media, posters, graphics, design your own business cards even. If you’ve got even a little eye for design, Canva can help you cut down on the costs of hiring professional designers.

But did you know you can also use it to make just as engaging and stimulating presentations? Whether you want to make presentations for a professional environment or personal use (like a birthday surprise), Canva Presentations have got you covered. Let’s dive right into it!

Getting Started

Canva offers a web app you can immediately start using on your desktop without having to download anything. Unfortunately, the web app is your only option as there is no desktop app. So you need an internet connection to work with Canva as it stores all your work on its servers.

Canva also has a mobile app for iPhone and Android, which you can use on the go. But when getting started, using the web app is the best course of action.

Go to canva.com and create a free account. Click the ‘Sign Up’ button to create a new account.

website presentation canva

You can sign up with your Google account, Facebook account, or your email address.

Canva has a freemium structure, so you can use it for free with limited features or get a Pro or Enterprise subscription for complete access. It also offers a 30-day free trial to its Pro features, so you can try it out before deciding whether you want to convert to a paid user.

Now, from the Canva home page, click the ‘Presentations’ button under the Design anything banner. If you can’t find the option, you can also search for ‘Presentation’ from the search bar.

website presentation canva

There are plenty of size options to choose from when creating a presentation. Let’s stick with the standard size ‘1920 x 1080 px’ here.

website presentation canva

One of the things that makes Canva so easy to use for everyone is the sheer number of templates. The assortment of templates in existence ensures that you’ll find something to match your needs. But if not, you can also start with a blank slate and create your presentation from scratch.

website presentation canva

For this guide, we are selecting a template for the presentation. Before selecting a template, you can see what it has to offer by clicking the three-dot menu and selecting ‘Preview this template’.

website presentation canva

Click ‘Use this template’ to select the template if you like it or go back and select another.

website presentation canva

Editing the Presentation

The template will load into the editing interface. Canva has an eerily easy editing interface. Let’s navigate the interface first. Below the slide is the thumbnail view where you can see all the slides in thumbnails side by side.

website presentation canva

To turn off the thumbnail view, click the on/ off toggle (arrow).

website presentation canva

Click the grid view button to switch views.

website presentation canva

The grid view is helpful when there are a lot of slides in your presentation. Using grid view, you can get an overview of them all. You can also rearrange the slides by dragging and dropping slides into a new position. Click the ‘Grid View’ button again to switch back.

website presentation canva

Click the ‘Notes’ option to add notes to the presentation that you can use for reference while presenting.

website presentation canva

The name of the presentation can be edited from the top-most toolbar.

website presentation canva

Now, on the left is the toolbar that houses all the tools for editing the design elements in the presentation.

website presentation canva

When you’re using a template, almost all of the elements can be selected and edited. You can delete an element, change color, font (for text). To select an element, hover over it. The part of that element will be highlighted in blue. Click it to select it.

website presentation canva

Another toolbar will appear above the slide with editing options specific to the element you have selected. Depending on the element, you can change it’s color, font, font size.

website presentation canva

When you click the color option, a palette for document colors will appear above, followed by available default colors. For free users, only limited color options are available. If you have a Brand Kit (available only for Canva Pro users), that palette will also appear here.

website presentation canva

Click on the ‘Elements’ option on the left toolbar to add elements like photos, videos, graphics, audio, charts, etc. to your presentation.

website presentation canva

To add photos, videos, or audio from your computer, click the ‘Uploads’ button. Then, click the ‘Upload media’ button to select content. Any media you previously uploaded will also be available here.

website presentation canva

You can also add animations to individual elements or the entire page. Select an element and click the ‘Animate’ button.

website presentation canva

‘Element animations’ will open. To switch to page animations, click the ‘Page Animations’ tab.

website presentation canva

Presenting your Presentation

Once your presentation is complete comes the main part – presenting it. Canva offers a lot of options for your finished presentation. You can present it right from Canva or publish or download it for various platforms.

To publish it elsewhere or download it, click the ‘three-dot’ menu on the top-right corner.

website presentation canva

A list of options will appear. You can download it onto your computer, or as a PowerPoint presentation, share a link to the presentation, publish it as a website, embed it on your website, and much more. You can also record it while presenting with a voiceover.

website presentation canva

To present straight from Canva, click the ‘Present’ button.

website presentation canva

Click the drop-down menu below ‘Type’ and select how you want to present it.

website presentation canva

There are three options to choose from: ‘Standard’ – where you present at your own pace, ‘Autoplay’ – where the presentation advances automatically, and ‘Presenter View’ – where you can view your notes and upcoming slides, but the rest of the people cannot. Presenter View is best used when you’re presenting on a projector.

website presentation canva

After selecting the type, click the ‘Present’ button.

website presentation canva

Bonus Tips for your Presentation

While presenting the presentation on Canva, you can add special effects to enhance the performance with some keyboard shortcuts. All you need to do is press the associated key with each effect to bring it into action. Press the same key to stop it. You can also press multiple keys to add 2 or more special effects. With these effects, your presentation is bound to stand out to your audience and be memorable.

Drumroll : Add a drumroll before a slide by pressing the key ‘D’ before a big reveal.

website presentation canva

Confetti : Add a shower of confetti to celebrate something with the key ‘C’ .

website presentation canva

Countdown : Add a countdown from ‘1-9’ by pressing one of the keys.

website presentation canva

Quiet : Bring a đŸ€« emoji to screen to hush your audience with the ‘Q’ key.

website presentation canva

Bubbles : Press down the ‘O’ key to bring bubbles on the screen.

website presentation canva

Blur : Build tension and add drama to the atmosphere by blurring the screen with the key ‘B’.

website presentation canva

Presentations are a huge part of professional life, whether you’re presenting to your clients, doing a webinar, promoting your brand, to name a few. With Canva, you can make presentations that’ll leave a long-lasting impact but won’t take long to make.

How to Create Presentations in Canva

website presentation canva

He has over five years of experience and has covered 1,500+ articles on GuidingTech and Android Police. In his free time, you will see him binge-watching Netflix shows, reading books, and traveling.

Canva recently introduced new tools to create docs, whiteboards, videos, websites, and presentations. As such, you no longer need to rely on traditional software solutions like Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Keynote to create an upcoming business presentation. You can easily create presentations in Canva using its familiar suite of editing tools.

How_to_Create_Presentations_in_Canva

Canva offers real-time collaboration, several export options, a present tool, AI add-ons, and much more to make a professional PPT. Canva also lets you make instant presentations with pre-filed slides. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Pick Up an Aspect Ratio and Template

Before you start, make sure to pick a relevant aspect ratio for your presentation. If it’s a traditional PPT, go with a 16:9 aspect ratio. If you plan to show your PPT on mobile, use the 9:16 aspect ratio.

Tablet users can start with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Canva also offers some ready-to-use templates to get started. We highly recommend starting with a template to save some time.

Create Presentations in Canva 1

You can also filter templates via style, theme, feature, and color. For example, you can check company, marketing, corporate, marketing, school, and other templates. Most templates are free to use, while some may require a Canva Premium subscription.  

Under templates, you also find an option to create instant presentations. You can enter a prompt and check Canva’s suggestions to get started.

Create Presentations in Canva 2

Customize a Page With Editing Features

Once you pick up a template, you have the option to add all pages to your presentations. You can click ‘Apply all pages’ and check every slide at the bottom. You can always select a slide and hit delete to remove it from your presentation.

Create Presentations in Canva 4

Canva lets you change every aspect of the template with different text styles, filters, and image editing tools. You can change color, tweak transparency, copy style, and more.

Create Presentations in Canva 3

We suggest spending some time with editing tools to customize your Canva presentation and add some personal touches.

Add Graphics, Stickers, and Images

Your presentation will not seem as interesting without graphics, stickers, images, and videos. Unlike Google Slides or PowerPoint, you don’t need to import media files to Canva to complete your slides. You can easily add relevant elements from the sidebar.

Step 1: Open a slide in your Canva presentation.

Step 2: Select Elements from the sidebar. Add graphics, icons, stickers, tables, videos, and more.

Step 3: You can explore the AI image generator and turn your creative ideas into images and videos with a single click.

Create Presentations in Canva 5

You can add simple descriptions and even turn generated images into videos. Canva also offers a long list of graphics packs in several categories. The possibilities are endless here. It’s up to you to make a compelling slide using useful tools.

Tweak Page Animation

Once you create a page, tweak its animation to make a smooth transition between pages.

Step 1: Select a slide in Canva.

Step 2: Click Animate at the top.

Step 3: Check basic, exaggerated, photo movement, and other animation types from the left sidebar.

Create Presentations in Canva 6

You can also tweak the animation intensity, which is great.

Add Presenter Notes

Do you plan to present your Canva PPT on a video conference? You can add notes to each slide so they appear during the Presenter view (more on that later).

When you create a PPT, select a slide and hit Notes at the bottom. Enter your notes that you want to remember or talk about during a video meeting.

Create Presentations in Canva 7

Collaborate and Edit in Real Time

Similar to Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint, Canva lets you share and edit a presentation in real time. You can take inputs from your colleagues and create a share-worthy presentation in no time.

Step 1: When you are done making changes to your presentation, click Share at the top.

Step 2: Enter people, groups, or your team. Expand the collaboration link menu and select Anyone with the link.

Step 3: Expand the permission menu and select Can edit.

Create Presentations in Canva 1 1

You can also share a link with view or comment-only permission. Select the Copy link and share it with your co-workers.

Enable Presenter View

Presenter view is a thoughtful touch from Canva to give presentations over a Google Meet or Teams call.

You can open a presentation in Canva and select Present at the top. Click Presenter View and check two windows opening up on your computer.

Create Presentations in Canva 8

One window shows your presentation with notes open on the sidebar. Another window displays the current slide you are sharing with others over a call.

Create Presentations in Canva 9

Download and Share Your Presentation

As expected, Canva gives several options to share and export your presentation. When you complete your presentation, click Share in the top-right corner and expand Download.

You can convert a presentation to PDF, PPTX (Microsoft PowerPoint compatible), MP4, JPG, PNG and SVG formats. Check our dedicated post if you wish to print your Canva presentation .

Create Presentations in Canva 10

Use Canva Like a Pro

Canva has done a solid job, granting users access to rich tools to create a convincing presentation. We can’t wait to see how the Australian startup enhances our PPT experience with AI features in the future. Speaking of which, we would love to see a feature similar to ‘Design Ideas from Microsoft PowerPoint’ on Canva. Do let us know if you use Canva for presentations in the comments below.

Canva Presentations: How to Create and Share Them

Author avatar

Canva may not be your first thought for creating a presentation. However, this popular web-based design tool offers a robust slideshow feature set. We’ll walk through how to create a Canva presentation, present it to your audience, and share it using a variety of methods.

Create a Canva Presentation

If you’ve never made a presentation with Canva, don’t worry. This online graphic design application goes beyond creating images and crafting infographics. Canva makes it super easy to create and set up a presentation for your audience.

On the Canva home page, select Presentations below the Search bar. Then, choose a slideshow size or Canva presentation template to get started.

Create a Canva Presentation image - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-1-compressed

Note : If you’re using Canva Docs , you can also convert your document to a presentation by selecting Convert at the top. Follow the prompts, and you’ll see your presentation open in the Canva editor.

Once in the Canva editor, use the menu on the left side to add slide elements. You can select or drag items like shapes, images, or text boxes onto your slides.

Create a Canva Presentation image 2 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-2-compressed

You can also edit or remove a slide element by selecting it and using the tools that display near the item or in the top toolbar. For example, you can change the style of text or transparency of an image.

Create a Canva Presentation image 3 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-3-compressed

Be sure to check out the full set of Canva presentation tools in the editor. You can add animations, insert slide transitions, use the grid view to rearrange presentation slides, and more.

Set Up the Presentation

After you tap your creativity to make an attractive and informative presentation, you can add notes, clock your speaking time, and adjust the slide durations.

Add Presenter Notes

To add presenter notes to a slide, select Notes in the bottom toolbar. Then, type your note in the panel that displays on the left. You can then move to your other slides and add notes the same way.

Set Up the Presentation image - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-4-compressed

When you finish, deselect Notes in the toolbar.

Use the Timer

If you’d like to time your presentation, you can use the built-in countdown Timer feature. Select Timer in the bottom toolbar to display the timer. By default, the timer is set for five minutes, but you can change this using the plus and minus buttons.

Set Up the Presentation image 2 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-5-compressed

Press the Play button to start the countdown, the Pause button to temporarily stop the timer, and the Reset button to restart the timer.

Set Up the Presentation image 3 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-6-compressed

To close the Timer, deselect Timer in the toolbar.

Set the Slide Duration

Maybe you’re using Autoplay (described below) and would like to display particular slides for a longer or shorter time. You can adjust the slide duration for each or all slides in two different ways in Canva.

Use the Duration Slider

Expand the bottom section by selecting the Show Pages arrow. Then, choose Duration on the left to see the default timing for each slide.

Set Up the Presentation image 4 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-7-compressed

Select a slide thumbnail (page) and hover your cursor over the left or right side of it to display the duration slider. Then, drag the slider in or out to shorten or lengthen the duration.

Set Up the Presentation image 5 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-8-compressed

When you finish, deselect Duration in the toolbar and optionally use the Hide Pages arrow to minimize the bottom section.

Use the Timing Feature

Another way to change the duration of a slide is by using the Timing option at the top of the editor. Select a slide to see its duration and choose the current timing to enter a new duration, or use the slider to adjust it.

You can also turn on the toggle to apply the new duration to all pages (slides) in the presentation.

Set Up the Presentation image 6 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-9-compressed

To close the Timing tool, deselect it in the top toolbar.

Show a Canva Presentation

The great thing about creating a presentation in Canva is that you can present from it as well. If you prefer not to download and present using a different application, you have a few options to show your slideshow directly from Canva.

When you’re ready to present or practice your presentation, select Present on the top right. You’ll then see the options below.

Show a Canva Presentation image - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-10-compressed

Present in Full Screen Mode

Choose the Present full screen option to enter presentation mode. You’ll see your presentation consume your entire screen and have controls at the bottom.

Show a Canva Presentation image 2 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-11-compressed

Use the arrows on the left to move through the slides and the controls on the right to zoom, interact, use shortcuts, or exit full-screen mode.

Use Presenter View

To see your notes and controls on one screen with your presentation on another for your audience, choose Presenter view .

Show a Canva Presentation image 3 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-12-compressed

Your screen shows the time, a count-up timer, and other controls for a countdown, AutoPlay, and the font size for your notes.

You can drag the other screen wherever needed for your audience to view.

Show a Canva Presentation image 4 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-13-compressed

Present and Record

Maybe you want to incorporate your smiling face into your presentation. For this, pick the Present and record option to record yourself live as the presentation plays. You can then share the whole presentation as if you’re in the same room.

Note : This feature is currently only available when using the Google Chrome web browser.

You’ll see your face appear in a circle on the bottom left of the presentation. You can use the Pause and End recording buttons at the top to control the recording as well as see your presenter notes.

Show a Canva Presentation image 5 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-14-compressed

When you finish, you’ll see a link that you can copy and have the option to download the recorded presentation immediately.

Show a Canva Presentation image 6 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-15-compressed

Use Autoplay

Like Autoplay for a PowerPoint presentation, this is one more way to present a slideshow using Canva. With Autoplay, you can start the presentation and let it play on its own. This is ideal for kiosk presentations or when you are unable to present yourself.

Show a Canva Presentation image 7 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-16-compressed

When you choose Autoplay , the presentation begins and moves through each slide using the Durations you set (explained earlier). You can also manually control the presentation if needed using the same tools as the Present Full Screen option.

Share a Canva Presentation

Along with or instead of actually presenting a slideshow with Canva, you can share it in a variety of ways. Whether you want to collaborate with your team, download the file to your device, or pop the presentation up on social media, Canva has you covered.

Select Share in the top right corner and then choose one of the following ways to share.

Share a Canva Presentation image - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-17-compressed

Collaborate With Others

Maybe you want to work on the final presentation with a team member or coworker. You can grant access to others and provide them with a collaboration link.

Enter the people, groups, teams, or email addresses in the People with access field. Then, open the Collaboration link drop-down menu and pick Anyone with link to provide access.

Share a Canva Presentation image 2 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-18-compressed

Download a Presentation

If you’d like to save your presentation to your device or download it as a Microsoft PowerPoint file, this is easy too.

Select Download and use the File type drop-down to pick PDF, PPTX, GIF, PNG, or another format.

You can then choose to flatten the PDF, include notes, or download only certain pages (slides).

Share a Canva Presentation image 3 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-19-compressed

Share on Social Media

Want to post your presentation directly to Facebook, Instagram, or another social media network? Select Share on social , choose the location, and follow the subsequent prompts to sign in and set up the social media post.

Share a Canva Presentation image 4 - how-to-create-and-share-a-canva-presentation-20-compressed

More Sharing Options

If you don’t see the sharing avenue you want, don’t despair because there are even more. Select More at the bottom of the Share menu.

You’ll then see sections for Share, Social, Save, Messaging, Design, and More Options giving you a ton of sharing methods. As examples, you can obtain a public link, send it to your phone, get an embed code for your blog, upload it to Dropbox or Google Drive, send it to Slack or WhatsApp, and more.

Canva Presentation Tutorial: How To Make Presentation In Canva + How To Use Canva For Presentation

Want to easily create presentation slides but are tired of the options that PowerPoint provides? In this Canva presentation tutorial I'll show you how to create amazing presentations using Canva.

Want to easily create presentation slides but are tired of the options that PowerPoint provides? In this Canva presentation tutorial I'll show you how to create amazing presentations using Canva. Canva is my absolute favorite graphic design tool for non-designers and it comes with a number of presentation templates that you can customize.

If you've been wondering how you can create better presentations with Canva, stay tuned until the end of this video to learn how to use Canva to create a presentation, and to get a FREE cheat sheet with 9 amazing online business tools like Canva that you can use in your online business to save time and boost your productivity. Also, make sure to subscribe and hit the bell to be notified every time I post a new video. With that said let's go ahead and jump right in.

First off, if you don't have a Canva account yet, just click on the link in the description box below to create one for free .

After you've logged in to your Canva account, click on the search bar, and search for 'presentation'. Canva has a number of presentation templates that you can customize, which include all of the kinds of slides that you might need, or if you prefer, you can select a blank template to start from scratch.

To view the available slides within the presentation template, just click on the three little dots on the top-right of the presentation template, and click through the available slides at the bottom. Don't worry too much which presentation template you choose since you can always change it later.

Once you've selected a presentation design to customize, click on 'use this template' to edit it. Just like with any regular Canva template, you can click on any of the elements on the page to customize them, such as the background, image and text, or click on any of the options from the left-hand side panel to add new photos, elements or text into your design.

Using Canva to create a presentation is easy because it's super straightforward. To edit any of the existing elements on a presentation slide, all you have to do is click on it, and view the available options up top. For instance, you can change the color of this square to any other one of your choice, you can change what this text says by double clicking on it, and writing something new, you can change the appearance of this text by editing its font, size and color, and you can either add an effect to this image, or add a new one altogether by clicking on 'photos' from the left-hand side panel, searching for the photo of your choice, and then drag-and-dropping it right where this original photo is.

For more details on how to customize a Canva design, make sure to watch my video on ' how to use Canva '. I'll leave the link to it in the description box below.

As you can see, Canva has a number of slide options that you can customize for your presentation, such as cover, icons, outline or table of contents, photo and text, quote, step-by-step, comparison, numbers, three column, bar chart, text only with multiple headings, question or statement page, title for a section, video, photo and text again, big photo and text, and so on and so forth.

You can customize each of these slides, as well as add presenter notes to them, move them up or down to reorder your presentation slides, copy the page to duplicate this slide's design, delete it altogether, and add a new blank page.

To add an animation to any of your slides, select the page that you want to animate, and select one of the animation options available. You can either add a new animation to new slide, or choose 'apply to all pages' to add the same animation to all slides.

Once you're done customizing the presentation you created in Canva, rename your design up top, and then click on the downward pointing arrow on the far right of the screen . There are a number of options that you can choose from: present, where you can present these slides right now where you either advance at your own pace, set speed to automatically play or view your notes and upcoming slides, present and record, where you can record yourself while talking over a presentation, and then share the video on YouTube, as an evergreen webinar, or with specific people, download these slides as an image, PDF, video or GIF, share a link to this presentation with others, publish this presentation as a beautiful, responsive website, or download your presentation as a PowerPoint document.

Now you know how to use Canva to create a presentation so you can easily create your presentation slides.

These days there's a lot of options for creating workplace presentations, ranging from old-school classics like Microsoft PowerPoint to relative newcomers like Google Slides. Another platform that you can use to create a presentation is Canva.

As a template design site where you can craft beautiful documents, Canva makes the act of creating presentations as simple as Google Slides---perhaps even simpler. Here's how to design a workplace presentation in Canva.

Step 1: Launch Canva

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Start Screen

If you don't have an account with Canva yet, check out our rundown on what the site is and what it's good for . If you already have an account, log in and go to your homepage.

Under  Create a design , click  Presentation .

You can also look for  Presentation in the search bar, under the sign that says  Design anything .

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Workspace

After you click on  Presentation , you'll be taken to a blank workspace. Like all Canva's workspaces, you'll see a collection of pre-made templates along the left-hand side.

If you want to create a presentation from the ground up, you can. We've already got a great tutorial on how to create a resume from scratch using Canva , and it uses very similar principals.

If you're creating this presentation for work, however---and you're short on time---then it's probably best to go with a template.

Canva divides these templates based upon their stated purpose, ranging from creative applications to pitch decks. For this tutorial, let's go to the  Professional Presentation section, as it has templates that are well suited for our purpose. Pick one that you like.

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Page Designs

Once you click on a design, you'll see a bunch of different pages displayed along your sidebar. Each of these pages has a slightly different layout, but they all use similar elements and color schemes.

Step 2: Pick a Page Design, Change Your Text

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Change Text

The great thing about Canva is that there's no order in which these individual pages have to be arranged. You can use one or several designs multiple times, back-to-back, or never use them at all.

To apply a design to your first page, simply click on your blank workspace so the page is active. Then click on one of the premade designs sitting to the left. Canva will automatically load it into the page and you can begin modifying.

For this tutorial, I've decided to pick a design that would work well as a title page. By clicking on the individual text boxes within this page, I can erase the placeholder text and put down my own.

If you want to further adjust the size, color, weight, and spacing, you can do so in the  Text editing box, seen here highlighted in red.

Step 3: Adjust Your Visual Elements

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Change Elements

Having the right text---but not too much text---is one of the most important things you can consider when you're putting together your presentation. Making sure the visual elements match up is really important too.

In Canva, you can keep or delete however many graphic elements you want. You can also move them around.

To  Delete an element, click on it so its bounding box shows up. Press Delete .

To  Move an element, click and drag it around the page.

If you want to change the color of an element, go to the color swatch icon at the top of the screen. You can pick a color swatch from the premade palette, or you can choose a custom color with the color picker by clicking on the  + .

Step 4: Add Page Notes

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Add Page Notes

One of the last things that you'll want to add to your page is your presentation notes. Notes are not required, of course, but they can help you remember what you're going to say, especially if you're presenting in front of a group.

To add notes in Canva, go to the top right-hand corner of your page and click on the  Add notes icon, seen here in red. When you do, another pop-up box will emerge.

Start typing your notes into the box. There's a word limit, of course, but we doubt you'll run over it. When you're done, click  Save .

Step 5: Add a New Page

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Add a New Page

The whole point of slideshows is that you're showing off a series of pages. If you just had one page, for example, it would technically be a poster, so chances are high you'll want to add more.

After you finish your first page, go to the bottom of your workspace and click on  +Add a new page . Canva will add another page to your presentation.

How to Create a Presentation in Canva New Page Design

If you want to switch this page to a different style, go to the page designs on the left-hand side of your screen. Click on the one that you want.

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Change Page Name

Once you create more than one page, you might want to label them to keep your workspace organized.

To label your pages, go to the top left-hand corner of your active page where you see the dotted line. Click on it and start typing. From there you'll be able to enter a new title.

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Delete Page

If you're not happy with this new page at all, you can delete the whole thing. At the top right-hand corner of the page, you'll see a trash can icon. Click on it.

Did you hit delete by accident, or have you changed your mind? No worries: just use the  Undo button in the top left-hand corner of your workspace.

Step 6: Add a Graph

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Insert a Graph

One of the best features about Canva is its ability to easily insert graphs into your presentation. It then allows you to customize those graphs to your needs.

To add a graph, find a page design that has a graph in it. Once that page is applied to your presentation, double-click on the graph inside that page so its bounding box lights up.

In the left-hand toolbar, you'll see your graph controls emerge. At the top of those controls is a dropdown menu showing you what type of graph you're using. Beneath that is a list of items, along with their values.

To change the name of these items, click on each individual box and start typing. To change the values, click on the box and insert the appropriate number.

Every time you change these values, Canva will automatically update your graph in real time, so you can see how it looks.

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Chart Style

If you want to change the style of the graph you're using, click on the dropdown menu and choose another. Canva will automatically change the appearance of your graph while keeping your values intact.

Add Charts to a Canva Presentation

Finally, you can also adjust the color of your graph.

Make sure your graph's bounding box is active, then go to your Edit controls in the top left-hand corner of your screen, seen here in red. Start experimenting with them to get the right effect.

Step 7: Check Your Presentation and Add Transitions

website presentation canva

As you wrap things up, you'll want to check your presentation for errors. You might also want to add transitions between your pages.

To add transitions, go to the  Present button at the top right-hand corner of your screen. Click on the icon.

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Transitions

When you click on that icon, Canva will open up a dropdown menu where you can pick the Transition style that you want.

After you choose your  Transition style , you can also choose your  Type . Type allows you to control the speed at which your presentation plays.

When you have all these things squared away, click on the blue  Present button to watch your slideshow play out. It will take you to a full-screen version of it, where you can scan for errors.

When you're done checking your presentation for errors, press the  Escape key to exit out of the window. Make any changes that you need to---if applicable---then finalize the design.

Step 8: Download Your Presentation for Work

How to Create a Presentation in Canva Download Options

Once your presentation is finished, you're ready to download. To download your presentation---or use it in another format---click on the dropdown menu beside the Present button.

Most of these options are free-to-use with a basic account, but for those that aren't, you'll see a gold "crown" symbol beside it. There's also a ton of options, ranging from downloading the file, emailing it to your coworkers, or embedding the file on another platform.

And that's it. You're done.

Ace That Slideshow Presentation

Now that you've seen how to put together a workplace presentation in Canva, you can start exploring. There's a lot of customization options, so it's best if you fiddle with those settings yourself.

Creating an interactive presentation is a great way to captivate your audience and make your Canva presentation stand out. With the help of Canva's user-friendly interface and powerful design features, you can easily transform a static presentation into an engaging interactive experience. In this tutorial, we will explore various techniques to make your Canva presentation interactive.

To add a hyperlink in Canva, select the element you want to link and click on the "Link" button in the toolbar. Enter the URL or select the slide/section you want to link and customize the appearance of the hyperlink using HTML styling elements like bold , underline , or italic .

Buttons provide a more visually appealing way to add interactivity to your Canva presentation. You can create custom buttons using shapes and apply actions such as linking to external websites or specific slides within the presentation.

To create a button in Canva, add a shape from the elements panel and customize its appearance using colors and effects. Next, add text inside the shape using a text element. To make it interactive, follow the same steps as mentioned above for adding hyperlinks.

3. Hotspots

If you want to create more immersive interactivity in your Canva presentation, hotspots are a great option. Hotspots allow you to define specific areas on an image or slide that trigger actions when clicked.

To add a hotspot in Canva, select the image or slide you want to add interactivity to and click on the "Link" button in the toolbar. Choose "Hotspot" as the link type and then define the area you want to make interactive. You can link it to external websites, other slides, or sections within the presentation.

4. Embed Multimedia

Adding multimedia elements like videos, audio clips, or interactive maps can greatly enhance your Canva presentation's interactivity.

To embed multimedia in Canva, click on the "Elements" tab and choose the respective media type from the options available. Customize its appearance and position it accordingly on your slide. You can also add HTML styling elements to format any accompanying text.

5. Quiz or Survey

In Canva, you can create a quiz or survey using various elements like multiple-choice questions, checkboxes, or text input fields. Customize their appearance and position them appropriately on your slide. To make it interactive, consider using HTML styling elements for question formatting.

Mastering Canva: Simplifying the Presentation Creation Process

Pic

Last Update: Dec. 19, 2023

Introduction

Creating captivating presentations can be complex and time-consuming. But with Canva, a powerful and intuitive design tool, not only can you design professional-looking presentations, but you can also simplify the entire process.

In this detailed guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of creating a stellar presentation using Canva.

Introduction to Canva

Canva is a versatile design tool that allows users to create a wide range of visual content, including presentations.

Its drag-and-drop interface, coupled with a vast library of templates, images, and design elements, makes it an ideal choice for creating professional-looking presentations, even for those without graphic design experience.

Step 1: Sign Up for an Account

Start by signing up for a Canva account, which is free. Simply visit www.canva.com and choose a signup method that suits you - using your Google, Facebook, or email account.

Step 2: Choose a Design Type

Once you're logged in, click on “Create a design.” Here you'll find a variety of pre-sized templates.

Avoid manually setting dimensions; instead, select “Presentation(4:3)” or “Presentation(16:9)” based on your needs.

Step 3: Choose a Template

Canva has numerous stunning templates that can be used as your presentation's base.

Click on "Templates" in the left sidebar to browse your options. Canva's templates are organized per theme, such as education, marketing, sales, etc.

You can choose one that fits your topic or preference.

Step 4: Customize Your Template

This is where the magic of Canva unfolds. Here's how you can customize your template:

  • Adding Text : Click "Text" in the left sidebar. You'll find various pre-built font combinations and typography or add some textual elements from scratch.
  • Editing Text : To edit the text, click on the text box and type in your content.
  • Changing Font/Color/Size : Click on the text box; an editor bar will appear at the top, allowing you to modify the font, size, color, and more.
  • Adding Additional Pages : Pages can be added by clicking on the "+" icon next to the current pages at the bottom of the screen.
  • Adding Images : Click on "Elements" or "Photos" in the left sidebar. You can either use free images or buy premium images. Alternatively, you can upload your images by clicking on “Uploads”.

Step 5: Add Visual Elements

Make your presentation more dynamic by adding visual elements like shapes, lines, stickers, or even emojis.

You can also adjust the colors and size of these elements to match your overall design.

Step 6: Integration of Graphs, Charts, or Tables

If your presentation involves data, consider adding visual representations using graphs, charts, or tables.

Click on "Elements" and scroll down to find "Graphs" or "Tables". Canva also provides a range of diagrams.

Step 7: Audio and Video Integration

Adding audio or video clips can provide more value to your presentation. Click "More" in the left sidebar and select either "Audio" or "Video".

From here, you can search for clips or upload your files.

Step 8: Animate Your Slides

To make your presentation more dynamic, add animations:

  • Select a slide or element: Click on what you want to animate.
  • Choose an animation style: Click on the “Animate” button in the toolbar and select an animation.

Step 9: Hyperlink Elements

Hyperlinking allows you to direct audiences to external resources. To hyperlink text or objects, select the respective element, click on the hyperlink icon on the top-right menu, and insert the URL.

Step 10: Review and Edit

Make sure to review your presentation before the final export critically. Check for alignment, consistency, grammar errors and the overall flow of your presentation.

Step 11: Download or Present

Once you're satisfied, you can hit the "Present" button on the top-right corner to start presenting right from Canva.

Alternatively, you can download your presentation by clicking on the "Download" button.

Canva allows you to download your presentation in various formats such as PDF, JPEG, PNG, etc.

Step 12: Collaborate and Share

Canva also facilitates easy sharing. Click on the "Share" button, and you can share your presentation directly via email, with a link, or even embed it on a website.

You can also use the comment feature to communicate with your team.

Tips for an Effective Presentation

  • Keep it simple: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information.
  • Be consistent: Use a consistent color scheme and font style throughout your presentation.
  • Use high-quality images: Ensure any images you use are of high resolution.
  • Practice storytelling: Structure your presentation to tell a compelling story.

With Canva, creating presentations no longer has to be a daunting task.

By leveraging its user-friendly interface, a plethora of customizations, and a vast library of templates, images, and fonts, you can quickly transform your ideas into engaging and professional presentations, right from your browser.

Whether you're delivering a business proposal, an educational lecture, or a tech talk, mastering the Canva presentation workflow can be a game-changer. Happy presenting!
