How to Use Canva Presentations
Make visually appealing presentations that'll stand out among others using Canva.
Canva, a graphic design platform, is gaining a lot of traction as a design tool. Its basic premise ā 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.
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.
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.
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.
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’.
Click ‘Use this template’ to select the template if you like it or go back and select another.
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.
To turn off the thumbnail view, click the on/ off toggle (arrow).
Click the grid view button to switch views.
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.
Click the ‘Notes’ option to add notes to the presentation that you can use for reference while presenting.
The name of the presentation can be edited from the top-most toolbar.
Now, on the left is the toolbar that houses all the tools for editing the design elements in the presentation.
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.
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.
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.
Click on the ‘Elements’ option on the left toolbar to add elements like photos, videos, graphics, audio, charts, etc. to your presentation.
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.
You can also add animations to individual elements or the entire page. Select an element and click the ‘Animate’ button.
‘Element animations’ will open. To switch to page animations, click the ‘Page Animations’ tab.
Presenting your Presentation
Once your presentation is complete comes the main part ā 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.
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.
To present straight from Canva, click the ‘Present’ button.
Click the drop-down menu below ‘Type’ and select how you want to present it.
There are three options to choose from: ‘Standard’ ā where you present at your own pace, ‘Autoplay’ ā where the presentation advances automatically, and ‘Presenter View’ ā 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.
After selecting the type, click the ‘Present’ button.
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.
Confetti : Add a shower of confetti to celebrate something with the key ‘C’ .
Countdown : Add a countdown from ‘1-9’ by pressing one of the keys.
Quiet : Bring a š¤« emoji to screen to hush your audience with the ‘Q’ key.
Bubbles : Press down the ‘O’ key to bring bubbles on the screen.
Blur : Build tension and add drama to the atmosphere by blurring the screen with the key ‘B’.
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.

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. 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.

How to Create Presentations in Canva
Parth Shah is an evergreen freelance writer covering how-tos, app guides, comparisons, listicles, and troubleshooting guides on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and smart TV platforms. 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.
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, letās get started.
Pick Up an Aspect Ratio and Template
Before you start, make sure to pick a relevant aspect ratio for your presentation. If itās 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.
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. Ā
Under templates, you also find an option to create instant presentations. You can enter a prompt and check Canvaās suggestions to get started.
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 āApply all pagesā and check every slide at the bottom. You can always select a slide and hit delete to remove it from your presentation.
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.
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 donāt 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.
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. Itās 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.Ā Check our dedicated post if you wish to print your Canva presentation .
Use Canva Like a Pro
Canva has done a solid job, granting users access to rich tools to create a convincing presentation. We canāt 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 āDesign Ideas from Microsoft PowerPointā on Canva. Do let us know if you use Canva for presentations in the comments below.

How to Use Canva and PowerPoint for Presentations
Creating the perfect presentation design is a challenge that speakers often aim to achieve, only to find themselves lacking graphic design knowledge. Although high-tier options like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator help users worldwide to put their ideas into pixels, the reality is they are not user-friendly interfaces for people outside the graphic design industry, namely business professionals, marketers, and educators. Hence, the need to find an alternative for making powerful graphics to use in our presentations – and hereās where Canva comes into the picture.
This web-based graphic design tool has quickly become the preferred choice of teachers, social media influencers, and small business owners due to its free-tier plans and pro plans at a convenient subscription-based fee.
In this article, we will see how to use Canva presentation in PowerPoint and how to export Canva to PPT, to create visually appealing presentations.
Table of Contents
Canva vs. Microsoft PowerPoint: Pros and Cons for Presenters
Designing with canva, how to export a canva presentation to powerpoint, how to use canva-made graphics in powerpoint, final words.
Although presenters often see Canva as an alternative to PowerPoint, the reality is that they differ in one single aspect: Canva is a graphic design tool, whereas PowerPoint is a presentation design software. Some of the tools available in PowerPoint are not there in Canva, and vice versa.
Going into more technical aspects, here are the Pros and Cons of working with either software as a presenter.
Pros of Canva as a Presentation Tool
User-friendly interface.
Canvaās drag-and-drop feature makes it easy for non-designers to create presentations by using its library of shapes, graphics, text styles, and other resources.
Wide Range of Templates
It offers a vast library of Canva templates, which can be easily customized in their online editor, saving time on design. Thereās a con associated with this point, which we shall discuss later.
Magic Studio for Canva was released mid-Q3 this year with the idea of powering designs with AI tools. This tool is available in Canva search features and in the editor at the bottom right corner, which features the list options:
- AI text generation
- Suggested graphics to match your design
- Suggested photos to match your design
Collaboration Feature
Allows multiple users to simultaneously work on the same presentation, which is great for small team projects. Compared with PowerPoint, it does not require all users to be Premium to collaborate online.
Web-Based Platform
Being an online platform, it allows users to work from any device with Internet access without needing software installation. This particularly helps users with legacy computers who cannot install current versions of Microsoft Office.
Integrated Stock Library
Provides access to a broad selection of stock photos, illustrations, and icons within the platform. Just like with the Canva templates, thereās also a con to this point.
Customization Options
Users can upload images and fonts, enabling brand consistency across presentations. Note: The upload fonts feature is only available for Canva Pro users.
Photo Editing and Animation Features
Canva lets users tweak their graphics with simple-to-use controls. These options help us to adjust opacity, apply photo filters, add animation effects, add bevels and shadows, and more.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
Can export presentations to various formats (as a PDF document, as a video presentation in MP4 format, or even as images), making them viewable on different devices and platforms. The export options allow us to post directly into social media, create printables, post to the web, etc. While some export formats require an upgrade to a Canva Pro subscription (like the ability to export to SVG format), the basic export features are enough for simple presentations and beginners.
Cons of Canva as a Presentation Tool
Limited offline functionality.
Requires an internet connection for full functionality, which can be a limitation in areas with poor connectivity, for business people working on an airline flight, while using Airplane mode, or for people traveling in other zones without Internet access.
Fewer Animation and Transition Options
Unlike PowerPoint, the available options for animations and transitions are limited. Users can find this reiterative, which may be unappealing to using these effects in our presentations.
Premium Content
Although the Canva library is extensive in terms of assets, the reality is that most of these elements are only available for premium users. This applies to templates, shapes, images (mostly), and exporting options. Resizing the graphics you create in Canva to repurpose your design is only available to premium users.
Template Overuse
Popular templates can be overused, making presentations look similar to many others. This is of particular interest to business professionals, as people tend to easily associate some designs as being made with Canva.
Design Decisions
Unlike using a PowerPoint template , you have to work your way with Canva content, as the PPT templates tend to be quite generic and do not offer tools for data representation. Consequently, you have to know how and where to introduce those elements on your own rather than working with a presentation template that already assigned the space for such graphics.
Lack of Advanced Multimedia Integration
Integrating complex multimedia elements like videos is not as seamless as in some desktop applications. You wonāt find options to link to source elements; you need to upload the content to your personal Canva library and manually add the resource to the slide. Presenters can also lose third-party integrations via plugins for some multimedia resources.
Pros of PowerPoint as a Presentation Tool
Widespread use and familiarity.
PowerPoint is the leading market tool for presentations, making most audiences and presenters are familiar with it at a basic operational level. This can help us to outsource technical issues quickly rather than aiming to use web-based interfaces to share Canva-created content.
Offline Access
PowerPoint can be used offline, which is ideal for people traveling, areas where the Internet connection is unreliable, or simply because we want to focus on creating the slides rather than facing distractions via the Internet.
Integration with Other Microsoft Office Tools
Seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft products like Excel and Word, making it easy to import data and documents. This is ideal for creating complex graphics for data representation, where the content can be synced, importing databases, working with Gantt Charts in software like Microsoft Project, and more.
Also, Microsoft PowerPoint has the same text editing capabilities as Microsoft Word – a striking contrast with Canvaās limited features.
Templates and Design Options
This is PowerPointās forte: the capability of using third-party presentation templates, like the ones provided by SlideModel . Users can buy pre-designed slide decks from professional vendors and ease the need to make design-related decisions. On top of that, Microsoft already includes some basic templates with its 365 subscription.
Advanced Features
Offers a broad range of features, including detailed animations and transitions, which can enhance presentations. For example, the ability to work with SVG graphics allows presentation designers to make pixel-perfect presentations without losing image quality. This is available to all users, unlike Canva, which requires a subscription to unlock certain elements.
Multimedia Capabilities
Supports embedding of various multimedia elements like audio, video, and images directly into presentations. You can use hyperlinks to embed content or work with third-party plugins for specific tasks.
Extensive Support and Resources
As a long-established tool, users can find tutorials everywhere, support communities, and additional resources available online.
Cons of PowerPoint for Presenters
Some features can be complex to use, and the interface may be overwhelming for new users. In particular, this is linked to editing PowerPoint Shapes and graphs, working with Slide Master , applying advanced animation effects and so on.
Unlike Canva or Google Slides, PowerPoint requires purchasing Office 365 or a standalone license.
Heavy Files
PowerPoint files, especially those with multimedia content, can become large and difficult to share via email. As a side effect, those heavy files can be complicated to handle in computers that lack sufficient RAM and processing power. Moreover, they require significant free disk space on your PC.
Time-Consuming
Creating a high-quality presentation with custom animations and graphics can be time-consuming. Thatās the reason why we highly recommend users work their way with PowerPoint templates, and mix and match designs to create a unique slide deck .
Learning Curve
Users need to invest time in learning the software to fully utilize its advanced features. This applies to both acquiring the knowledge and practicing the skills you learned. And still, for some users, it feels frustrating not to achieve results relatively quickly.
In this section, we will learn how to use Canva to create graphics for a product presentation. The idea is to create placeholder graphics containing images of a product; then, we will export that content to continue creating our presentation in PowerPoint.
After creating our Canva account, we find ourselves at the Home screen. Go to Templates, and you will see something similar to this UI.
We can go straight to the Presentations (16:9) option or use the search bar to locate the template we want. In this case, we will opt for that scenario and search āProduct.ā
The images that show a little crown at the low right corner are premium templates, which means we cannot use them with a free account. We will pick a template that fits the needs of our presentation by clicking over it. At the contextual window that opens, select Customize this template .
The Canva builder may take a bit to load, especially if your internet connection is slow. You will find yourself with a window like this one, opened at the Design tab, which offers alternatives for other templates similar to the one you chose.
The Styles tab allows us to quickly change the layout, altering color themes and fonts. Sometimes, that can suit our needs immediately; sometimes, it requires extra work to customize to our preferences.
We can click on any element in this design and customize its content. Depending on the element type, the options are available for us. For this presentation, we will change the text and images, and alter font color at the button to make it stand out.
Next, itās time to replace the images. We can drag and drop the image into Canva, or we can go to the Uploads button and add the content from there.
In this case, weāre using DALL-E-generated images for this product presentation, you can also use illustrations, photos, videos, or Midjourney illustrations . Once the images are uploaded, drag and drop them to replace the images in the placeholder areas. To complete this design, we removed the shape that came with the template – you can add a new shape by going to Elements > Graphics .
Learning how to use Canva for PowerPoint is pretty straightforward. Download your Canva design as a PowerPoint presentation, which you can do by accessing your design and going to the top-right corner to locate the button Share . Click on it, and then click on Download .
Under File Type , we will select PPTX , as itās PowerPointās native format. Click on Download , and wait for the process of downloading the file to be completed. Depending on the graphic assets included, it can take a while.
At this point, donāt be surprised if youāll be prompted to upgrade your Canva plan (if you donāt have a premium account). The reason is that Canva will charge you for exporting what they call premium graphics, and since most of the Canva presentation templates use premium graphics, this will be a limitation when exporting your Canva slides to PowerPoint.
A simple workaround is removing the premium graphics before exporting from Canva to PowerPoint. Although, take in mind this may affect the overall design of your presentation.
As you can see below, the PowerPoint file is entirely editable. Something to consider is that unless you have the font installed on your computer, PowerPoint will reassign to a generic font.
Remember the design we created before? Well, itās time to use that image as part of a marketing deck presentation , which will represent a social media post to be used by the marketing team to promote the brand.
The first step is to download the design we created as PNG. We can close Canva after that.
We opened our PPT template, which is the Annual Marketing Plan PowerPoint Template , and customized the PowerPoint theme colors . Go to Insert > Pictures > This Device .
Select the image we created in Canva and upload it here. We will add some image shadow effects via Shape Format, and a textbox below that describes what the image is about.
And thatās how easily we can use graphics from Canva in our PowerPoint presentations. Remember, itās best to work with PNG images rather than JPG to reduce file size and preserve image quality.
You can invite others to collaborate on your design by sharing a link to the editable design or by adding them via email as team members on your Canva account.
Canva uses standard cloud storage security measures to protect your data, but like any online platform, itās important to use a strong password and follow good security practices.
There are two methods for this. You can upload a PPT template into Canva via the Canva Homepage by clicking on Projects , and then go to the Uploads folder. Drag and drop or click on Upload, as weāve seen before. Once imported, you must click on that file to open it in the Canva editor. The second method is on the editor: go to the Uploads button and upload your PPT file as if it were an image or another media asset.
Yes, you can use SlideModel presentation templates in Canva. As a SlideModel subscriber, you can download .pptx files to import into Canva presentations. This way, you can enjoy the creative slide templates and graphics provided by SlideModel in your Canva presentations
Unfortunately, no, as Canva doesnāt have the same toolset to enable editing functions. That also applies to changing color, so we highly recommend you work with a final PPT file before switching to Canva.
Objects like charts, SmartArt, 3D objects, and WordArt arenāt supported in Canva and wonāt be rendered if you upload a slide that contains them.
Yes, all users can download Canva presentations to PPTX format. In case the original Canva design isn’t a presentation file, like a banner or social media post, you won’t be able to resize for that output unless you have a premium account.
Yes, the file must be smaller than 70 MB, and you can import up to 300 slides.
Canva and PowerPoint can collaborate as complementary tools to help presenters overcome the limitations of each individual tool. It takes a while to create your desired workflow, but once thatās accomplished, you can elevate the quality of your PowerPoint or Google Slides presentations with Canva.
We donāt advise using Canva as an alternative to PowerPoint as the current state-of-the-art indicates it wonāt support data representation or other PowerPoint stellar tools that make part of most PPT templates.

How to Use Canva to Create and Give Presentations
Canva makes it easy to edit text, make GIFs , and create content for social media like Instagram . But Canva also makes it easy to create presentations and if you are in a hurry and forgot your PC, Canva allows you to give that presentation using your smartphone. Here is how you can create and give presentations using Canva while on the move.
Table of Contents
Create Presentation Using Canva Templates
One of the things that make Canva so much easier to use is templates. They offer free and paid templates for almost all sorts of content that you may think of. We will be using a free template to create a presentation on Canva’s web app.
1. Open Canva in your browser and search for Presentation in the search bar.
2. You will be taken to the presentation templates page . You can filter by category or just scroll through until you find something that catches your eye or meets the criteria. You can also click on the empty frame with +sign to create a new presentation from scratch but that would be time-consuming.
Note: Templates with a golden crown icon are paid templates.
3. Click on any template and you will see a pop-up menu with more details about the template. Click on Customize this template to begin making your template. Click on the star icon to bookmark it for later perusal.
4. Now, in the left sidebar, you will find all the slides in the presentation. When you select a slide, you will be able to edit it on the right side. Each element can be edited or removed including text, image, and various elements. It is easy to add, edit, and format text .
5. You can choose from a variety of apps from the marketplace to make your work easier including AI apps like Dall-E. Simply click on Apps in the left sidebar and choose the one that you want to use.
6. You can also draw on slides or use stock images from sources like Pixabay and Pexels without having to leave Canva.
7. To add a slide, click on the plus icon at the bottom. You can also right-click on the existing slide and select Duplicate page to create an identical new slide that will retain the formatting and layout of the first slide. So all you have to do is change the text and some elements.
When you are happy with the presentation, you have a couple of options. Let’s have a look at them in the below sections.
Give a Presentation Using Canva
There are two ways to do it. You can present a presentation made in Canva using both the web app and the Android or iPhone app.
Give Canva Presentation on PC
1. Go to Canva homepage and click on Projects in the left sidebar.
2. Click on the presentation that you want to give to open it.
3. Click on the Present button in the upper right corner. You will see three options to present.
- Present full screen – this will begin a full-screen presentation for everyone to see.
- Presenter view – this presents the slides that you have created along with notes that you may have.
- Autoplay – this will let you set a timer so that once you begin the presentation on Canva, slides will change after the chosen time (in seconds) automatically.
4. Once you selected a form of presentation, click on the Present button to begin.
Have you heard of Adobe Spark? We did an in-depth comparison between Canva and Spark . Find out who won and why.
Give Canva Presentation on Mobile
If you are working remotely or traveling and don’t have your laptop on you, Canva allows you to give presentations directly from mobile.
By Sharing Presentation Link
Open the Canva app and go to the Projects tab. Now open the presentation and then select the Presentation menu (TV icon).
If you are casting your mobile screen on a bigger screen, this will work beautifully.
Using Phone as Remote to Give Presentations
This is one neat trick up Canva’s sleeve. You would have noticed how presenters on stage have a small remote in their hands that they use to change slides. You don’t need anything but your smartphone to give presentations saved on Canva now. And it is quite easy.
1. Open the presentation on your web or mobile Canva app. Here we are using the web app. Click on the Present button to begin the presentation.
2. Select an option depending on how you want to present. We discussed the three options above. Now click on Present button.
3. Once the presentation begins, click on the meatballs menu (three-dot icons) at the bottom right corner of the screen and select Share remote control option.
4. Either scan the QR code or Copy the link and paste it on your mobile browser. Any browser will do.
5. You can now control the presentation and slide movements right from your mobile browser. Here is how it looks. Tap on the left or right button to move slides.
Presenting, Canva!
Canva not only makes creating presentations easy thanks to the wide variety or free and paid templates, but it also offers intuitive ways to present your slides. But that’s not all that Canva can do. We use Canva to create featured images, resize images , make background transparent , and so much more.
