How to Download Canva Presentation with Animation

Canva has become an incredibly popular free online design tool. With Canva, anyone can easily create beautiful graphics, presentations, social media posts, and more.

One of the best features of Canva is the ability to add animations to your designs and presentations. This allows you to make your content more dynamic, eye-catching, and engaging.

But you may be wondering – can you download a Canva presentation with the animations intact?

The short answer is yes! In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to download a Canva presentation as a PowerPoint file while preserving the animations.

Step 1: Add Animations in Canva

First, open up your Canva presentation and add any animations you want.

Canva makes adding animations super simple. Just select an element on your slide, click “Animate” on the toolbar, and choose an animation like fade, float, zoom, and more.

You can animate individual elements or add animations that happen when you transition between slides. Get creative and have fun with it!

Step 2: Switch to Presenter Mode

Once you’ve added animations, click “Present” at the top right of the screen to switch to Presenter Mode.

This will show your slides as they appear with the animations, without all the extra tools and options on screen.

Step 3: Take Screenshots

Now, you’ll want to take a screenshot of each slide. This captures exactly how the animated slides look.

On Windows, hit the “PrtScn” button to take a full screenshot. On Mac, press Shift + Command + 3.

You may need to crop the screenshots after to remove extra background areas.

Step 4: Open PowerPoint and Insert Screenshots

Open a new PowerPoint presentation file. For each Canva slide, insert your screenshot into PowerPoint using the “Insert > Pictures” option.

The screenshots become slides in your PowerPoint deck, animations and all!

Step 5: Rearrange Slides or Make Edits

If needed, you can now rearrange the slide order or make any other edits to the PowerPoint file.

The animations should work exactly as they did in Canva!

And that’s it! By following these five simple steps, you can download a Canva presentation with animations intact as a PowerPoint file.

Tips for Downloading Animated Canva Presentations

Here are some additional tips when downloading animated Canva presentations:

• Check animations : Preview the full animation sequence and test transitions in Presenter Mode before downloading screenshots. This ensures no steps get skipped.
• Clear the background : Any background images or elements in Canva won’t download to PowerPoint. Use a solid color background for a cleaner transition.
• Simplify layouts : Complex multi-layered slide designs in Canva may lose their precision in PowerPoint. Stick to simpler layouts.
• Use video export : If taking screenshots proves difficult for any reason, Canva does let you directly export presentations as video files.

More Tricks for Animated Canva Presentations

The ability to animate your presentations is one of Canva’s best features. Here are some additional Canva animation tips and tricks:

• Add animated GIFs : Import animated GIFs from Canva’s library to quickly add animation without building it yourself.
• Animate on click : Make elements animate as you click through your presentation for added interactivity.
• Use Magic Animations : Let Canva automatically apply sophisticated animations to any element with just one click.
• Morph images : Seamlessly morph between images or layouts on the same slide or across slides.
• Animate text : Fade, float, zoom, and slide text elements onto the slide for smooth animated sequences.
• Match with transitions : Coordinate animations with slide transitions to create extra smooth flowing presentations.

Create Stunning Animated Presentations with Ease

As you can see, Canva makes creating animated presentations a breeze. With these simple steps, you can easily download your animated Canva presentation and preserve all that motion design work in a PowerPoint file.

So go ahead – make your next presentation pop off the screen! Ditch boring static slides and turn to Canva to create sleek, modern, animated presentations that captivate your audience.

How To Export Canva Presentation Slides To PowerPoint

Here’s how to make awesome twitch emotes with canva in your browser..

Canva is an incredible online design software that allows you to create many things including stunning presentations.

But if you’re a PowerPoint user you might be wondering how to export your Canva slides as a PowerPoint presentation?

In this article, we’ll take you through the process step by step, including how to keep your animated elements from Canva.

Let’s dive right in.

Jump to a specific section:

Step 1: Download your Canva slides

Step 2: open the .pptx doc in powerpoint, step 3: copy or add animation.

If you haven’t created your presentation in Canva yet – check out these incredible Canva presentation slide templates to get started.

If you have, open up your Canva slides document, and once you’ve made all your updates and you’re happy with it you can now download it.

You can download as a PDF file, or publish it online, or if you want to export it as a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) you can do that too. Here’s how:

Go to the ‘Share’ button at the top right and click ‘More’:

Scroll down to the ‘Save’ options and choose ‘Microsoft PowerPoint’:

Choose the slides you want to download, and hit the download button:

You will now have a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) file in your downloads folder that you can open up.

The next step is to check if everything in your presentation was exported from the Canva slides to a PowerPoint presentation correctly.

In the past, elements such as the text fonts, graphs, videos, and some graphics didn’t export correctly but Canva has mostly fixed these issues so your export will likely be completely fine.

It’s worth checking though!

As an example, our .pptx export contained a couple of videos in one of the slides. One of the videos remained in that format:

Whilst the other one was converted into an image element:

Most of the elements will be converted properly but as you can some elements such as animations and videos might not convert correctly.

There is a workaround for this, which we’ll cover in the next step.

To convert Canva slides with animation into PowerPoint presentation slides here’s what you have to do:

First, go back to your Canva presentation, and download the pages with animation as GIFs. Simply, go to ‘Share’ then ‘Download’ and select the page or pages that you want to download:

Then, select GIF as your file type, and hit the download button:

The last step is to add a blank slide in your PowerPoint presentation, upload the downloaded GIF image into that new blank slide and adjust it to cover the PowerPoint page and that’s it!

You’ll now have an animated slide in your PowerPoint presentation.

Adding animations in PowerPoint

You can also simply download the full Canva presentation and convert it to a PowerPoint presentation and then add animations within PowerPoint instead.
