Canva’s 6 New Features (I've been WAITING for #6)

About this video

Kate breaks down six new Canva features, including two she says she has wanted for years and one that turns a repeated three-step process into one click. First, single image download: a single edited image pulled from the elements library can now be downloaded directly via Share, instead of the download button being greyed out until extra images were added, with file type choices and Pro options marked by a crown symbol. Second, turning a shape into a frame: basic shapes, AI-generated shapes and draw strokes can be right-clicked and changed to a frame, including freehand drawing a shape over a photo and converting both in one action. Third, bulk background removal from the folders view - she selects three photos at once, clicks Background Remover (a Canva Pro feature) and it creates three new project files without backgrounds in seconds. Fourth, a split button for Magic Presenter Notes adds a custom prompt option alongside Generate notes, illustrated by summarising a page with an analogy from The Office. Fifth, solids with transparency: a transparency slider is now built into the colour fill menu instead of requiring a separate tool. Sixth, saved for last, saving a logo straight to your Brand Kit from the editor via Share and Brand Kit - choosing page, file type, transparent background, brand kit and category - instead of downloading and re-uploading it, which requires Canva Pro access to brand kits.

Key takeaways

• Single images can now be downloaded directly in Canva without adding extra images to unlock the download button
• Any basic, AI-generated or hand-drawn shape can be right-clicked and changed into a custom photo frame
• Bulk background removal works from the folders view on multiple photos at once, creating new background-free project files
• Presenter notes generation now offers a custom prompt option, and solid elements have a transparency slider inside the colour menu
• Logos can be saved straight to the Brand Kit from the editor via Share > Brand Kit, replacing the download-and-re-upload process
