5 NEW Canva tips and tricks you didn't know existed 🤫

About this video

Kate Hayes demonstrates five new Canva features. First, font filters: in the font menu, ‘show filters’ lets you filter fonts by language and by free or Pro only, which she notes is useful when making templates to sell if you want buyers to be able to access only free fonts. Second, retaining photo edits: edits such as background removal and a blur effect are automatically retained when you drag a replacement photo over the original, so you can swap images without reapplying effects. Third, borders and corners for grids: select a grid, use border style to set border weight, round the corners, and change border colour, including gradient colours. Fourth, the Carousel Studio app: enter a topic (her example is ‘how to organize your closet’), it researches the topic and generates slides (in her demo, four step slides plus a title slide) that you then format, using copy style to quickly apply the same font, colour and sizing across slides for an Instagram carousel. Fifth, the Frame Maker app: create your own custom frame shapes by adding and moving points on a grid (increasing grid columns for more detail), demonstrated making a bow-tie shape, then add it to your design and drag an image into it. She notes some Canva features are free and others require Canva Pro.

Key takeaways

• Font filters let you sort Canva fonts by language and free-only versus Pro, helpful when creating templates for buyers on free plans

• Grids can now have custom borders: adjust border weight and style, round corners, and use solid or gradient border colours
• Carousel Studio generates a multi-slide carousel from a topic with AI, then you format it and use copy style to apply styling across slides quickly
• Frame Maker lets you build custom frame shapes by adding/moving points on a grid and drag images into your own shape
