How to Use Canva Presentations

Make visually appealing presentations that'll stand out among others using Canva.

Sakshi Garg

Canva, a graphic design platform, is gaining a lot of traction as a design tool. Its basic premise – 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’.

presentation notes canva

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).

presentation notes canva

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.

presentation notes canva

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.

presentation notes canva

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.

presentation notes canva

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.

presentation notes canva

Click on the ‘Elements’ option on the left toolbar to add elements like photos, videos, graphics, audio, charts, etc. to your presentation.

presentation notes canva

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.

presentation notes canva

You can also add animations to individual elements or the entire page. Select an element and click the ‘Animate’ button.

presentation notes canva

‘Element animations’ will open. To switch to page animations, click the ‘Page Animations’ tab.

presentation notes canva

Presenting your Presentation

Once your presentation is complete comes the main part – 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.

presentation notes canva

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.

presentation notes canva

To present straight from Canva, click the ‘Present’ button.

presentation notes canva

Click the drop-down menu below ‘Type’ and select how you want to present it.

presentation notes canva

There are three options to choose from: ‘Standard’ – where you present at your own pace, ‘Autoplay’ – where the presentation advances automatically, and ‘Presenter View’ – 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.

presentation notes canva

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’ .

presentation notes canva

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.

  • You can easily customize templates, add graphics, and animate slides without needing extensive design skills.
  • Canva’s collaboration features allow for real-time editing and sharing of presentations.
  • Canva provides various export options, including PDF, PPTX, MP4, and image formats.

How to Create Canva Presentations

To create Canva presentations, you must follow a few steps. We break them down into the headings below.

Pick Up an Aspect Ratio and Template

Pick a relevant aspect ratio for your presentation. If it’s 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.

Step 1: On the left pane, click Templates .

Step 2: Choose a template from the options or search for one using the search field.

Select a template

Step 3: Click Customize this template once satisfied with your choice.

Customize a template

Note: You can filter templates via style, theme, feature, and color. For example, you can check company, marketing, corporate, marketing, school, and other templates. Under templates, you also find an option to create instant presentations. You can enter a prompt and check Canva’s suggestions to get started.

Customize a Page With Editing Features

Once you select a template, you can add all pages to your presentations and customize other pages.

Step 1: To select a page for customization, click on it at the bottom of the interface.

Page selection

Step 2: At the bottom of the interface, click the three-dot icon for a page and select any of the available options.

Step 3: When you click on a page, 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.

Create Presentations in Canva

We suggest editing tools to customize your Canva presentation and add personal touches.

Add Graphics, Stickers, and Images

Your presentation will not seem attractive without graphics, stickers, images, and videos. Unlike Google Slides or PowerPoint, you don’t 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. You can 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.

Using Elements on Canva

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. It’s up to you to make a compelling slide using useful tools.

Tweak Page Animation

Once you create a page, tweak its animation to smoothly transition between pages.

Step 1: Select a slide in Canva.

Step 2: Click Animate at the top.

Animate page in Canva

Step 3: Check Basic , Exaggerate , Photo Movement , and other animation types from the left sidebar.

Animation options

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).

Step 1: When you create a PPT, select a slide and hit Notes at the bottom.

Create notes for presenting

Step 2: Enter the notes you want to remember or discuss during a video meeting.

Collaborate and Edit in Real Time

Like Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint, Canva lets you share and edit a presentation in real-time. You can take your colleagues’ input and create a share-worthy presentation quickly.

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 .

Presenting options

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 or Download and Share Your Presentation

Presenter view is a thoughtful touch from Canva to give presentations over a Google Meet or Teams call.

Step 1: Open a presentation in Canva and select Present at the top.

Step 2: Click Presenter View and check two windows opening up on your computer.

Presenter view

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.

Create Presentations in Canva 9

As expected, Canva offers several options for sharing and exporting 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. Check our dedicated post if you wish to print your Canva presentation .

Create Presentations in Canva 10

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.

search for presentation template in canva

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.

choose presentation template in canva

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.

customize canva presentation template

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 .

editing presentation slides in canva

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.

canva text edit and draw

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.

canva projects

2. Click on the presentation that you want to give to open it.

open presentation on canva

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.

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.

presentation notes canva

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.

Canva is a popular graphic design platform that allows users to create a variety of designs, including presentations. While Canva offers a range of powerful design features to create visually stunning presentations, users may find themselves wondering about the possibility of printing or displaying presenter notes alongside their slides. Fortunately, there are several ways to print Canva presentations with notes.

One way to print Canva presentations with notes is to download the presentation as a PDF file. Users can save or print a copy of their design with their notes by downloading them as a PDF. To do this, users can open the design they want to download, click Share above the editor, select Download, choose PDF Standard or PDF Print from the dropdown, tick the Include notes checkbox, and click Download. Another way to print Canva presentations with notes is to click the Notes icon in the bottom left corner of the screen to open a new window with the notes, and then print them by clicking the File menu and selecting Print.

Understanding Canva

Canva is a graphic design platform that allows users to create a wide range of designs, from social media graphics to presentations, posters, and more. It is a user-friendly platform that makes designing accessible to people of all skill levels. Users can choose from a variety of templates or create their own designs from scratch.

One of the features of Canva is the ability to add notes to presentations. These notes can be used to provide additional information to the presenter or to serve as a script for the presentation. Canva also allows users to print their presentations with notes, making it easy to have a physical copy of the presentation with all the necessary information.

To print a Canva presentation with notes, users can follow a few simple steps. First, they need to open the presentation in Canva and ensure that it is in editing mode.

Preparing the Presentation

Before printing a Canva presentation with notes, it’s important to make sure that the presentation is properly prepared. This includes creating slides and adding notes.

Creating Slides

To create a new slide in Canva, simply click on the “Add a new page” button located in the top right corner of the screen. This will open up a new slide with a blank canvas. From here, users can customize the slide by adding text, images, shapes, and other design elements.

It’s important to keep in mind the bottom left corner of the screen. This will open up a new window where users can type in their notes.

It’s important to keep notes concise and relevant to the content on each slide. This can help keep the presentation focused and prevent the audience from being overwhelmed with too much information.

Once the presentation is properly prepared with slides and notes, it’s ready to be printed.

Printing a Canva presentation with notes is a straightforward process. First, the user needs to open the presentation they want to print. Next, they need to click on the “File” menu and select “Print.” This will open the print dialog box, where the user can make adjustments to the print settings.

Print Settings

Before printing, it is important to check the print settings to ensure that the presentation prints correctly. The user should select the correct printer, choose the number of copies they want to print, and specify the page range they want to print. They can also adjust the print quality and paper size if needed.

Including Notes in Print

To include notes in the printout, the user needs to select the option “Print speaker notes” in the print dialog box. This will ensure that the notes are printed along with the presentation slides. Alternatively, the user can use keyboard shortcuts “Ctrl+P” (Windows) or “Command+P” (Mac) to directly open the print dialog box.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

When printing a Canva presentation with notes, there may be some common issues that arise. This section will cover formatting issues and print quality problems that users may encounter.

Formatting Issues

One common formatting issue when printing a Canva presentation with notes is that the notes may not align with the corresponding slides. To fix this, users can try adjusting the print settings to ensure that both the slides and notes are printed at the correct size. Another solution is to manually adjust the notes in the presentation to ensure they align with the corresponding slides.

Another formatting issue that users may encounter is that the text in the notes section may appear too small or too large when printed. To fix this, users can try adjusting the font size in the notes section of the presentation before printing.

Print Quality Problems

Print quality problems may also arise when printing a Canva presentation with notes. One common issue is that the colors in the printed presentation may appear different from the colors on the screen. To fix this, users can try adjusting the color settings on their printer or using a different printer with better color accuracy.

Another print quality problem that may occur is that the images in the printed presentation may appear blurry or pixelated. To fix this, users can try adjusting the image resolution in the presentation before printing or using higher quality images in the presentation.

Additional Tips for Printing Canva Presentations

Printing Canva presentations with notes can be a bit tricky, but with a few additional tips, you can make the process much smoother. Here are some tips to consider:

Check your printer settings: Before printing, make sure to check your printer settings to ensure that you are printing the correct number of slides, the right orientation, and the correct color settings. This can help you avoid wasting paper and ink.

Use a high-quality printer: If you want your presentation to look professional, it’s essential to use a high-quality printer. Investing in a high-quality printer can help you produce crisp and clear images, which can make a big difference in how your presentation is received.

Print on high-quality paper: The type of paper you use can also impact the quality of your presentation. Using high-quality paper can help you produce vibrant colors and sharp images, which can make your presentation more engaging.

Consider using a printing service: If you don’t have access to a high-quality printer, or if you want to save time, you can consider using a printing service. Many printing services offer high-quality printing at an affordable price, and they can handle the printing and shipping for you.

Proofread your notes: Before printing, make sure to proofread your notes carefully. Spelling and grammar errors can detract from the professionalism of your presentation, so it’s essential to take the time to review your notes carefully.
