NEW 2025 Canva Tips and Tricks you NEED this year 🤯 (7 BRAND NEW Canva features)

About this video

Kate walks through seven recent Canva features and apps she uses. Type Gradient lets you put multi-color gradient text into a design, choosing font, alignment, line height, colors via spectrum or hex code, and dragging control points to change gradient direction. Enhancer uses Canva AI to upscale a low-resolution, pixelated photo — in her demo it reports upscaling by 500% — with an optional enhance-face setting, though she notes AI can make hair and facial features look slightly less natural. CanWave creates customizable solid, gradient, or outline waves with curved or pointy shapes, adjustable layers, base color, color variation, complexity, and height variation. Photo Stylist restyles a photo using presets like sketch, abstract, and autumn, or using your own uploaded image as the style reference. Grab Text under Edit Photo > Magic Studio separates text from a flattened uploaded image so it can be moved and edited, matching Canva fonts closely but substituting for non-Canva fonts. The Blur Brush in Edit Photo > Effects lets you paint blur onto specific areas with adjustable brush size and intensity, or erase it, instead of blurring the whole image. Finally, in Magic Media, after generating four AI images you can select ‘generate more like this’ on one to get three new variations closer to that style.

Key takeaways

• Use the Type Gradient app to create gradient-filled text with custom fonts, hex colors, and draggable gradient direction
• Use Enhancer to upscale low-resolution photos, enabling enhance-face only when people are in the image
• Use CanWave to build your own retro/boho waves instead of using pre-made graphics, adjusting layers, complexity and height variation
• Use Grab Text to recover editable text from a flattened image when the original working file is lost
• Use Blur Brush to blur only a background while keeping a subject in focus, and Magic Media’s ‘generate more like this’ to get variations of a liked AI image
