One Canva feature that people often forget is its ability to make beautiful presentations. With tons of pre-made templates, Canva makes it easy to spice up even the most boring of topics. But, what do you do if you want to use Canva within Google Slides? How do you import them?

To import Canva presentations into Google Slides, design your slides in Canva. Then, either connect your Canva account to Google Drive, or download your presentation as a PowerPoint file. Import it into Google Slides. You can also download your Canva presentation as images to import into your Google Slides presentation.

There are a number of ways to import your Canva presentations into Google Slides. The method you choose will depend on your preferences and what you need to do.

Let’s dive in.

Option 1: Connect Your Google Drive Account to Canva

Canva can connect to Google Drive. This makes it quick and easy to share your presentation with your Google Drive account, which will then open it in Google Slides. There you go!

That said, you may not be comfortable connecting your Canva account to your Google Drive account. If that’s the case, skip to option 2.

If you are comfortable connecting your Canva and Google Drive accounts, here’s what you need to do.

1. Create your presentation in Canva.

Even though your slides will be editable once they’re imported into Google Slides, I still suggest designing them fully in Canva. Especially if you have Canva Pro, this will give you access to all of Canva’s amazing templates, images, design elements to make your presentation awesome.

2. Once you’re done, click the “Share” button and the “More” button

After you’ve finished designing your presentation in Canva, click on the “Share” button in the top right corner. Scroll down until you see the “More” button. Click on it.

3. Choose the Google Drive option

There are a LOT of options to share, save, and download your presentation. Find the Google Drive option within the Save section.

4. Connect your Canva and Google Drive accounts

If your Canva and Google Drive accounts aren’t connected already, you’ll need to go through a series of steps and permissions to connect them. Again, if you’re not comfortable with this, go to option 2.

5. Choose where you want to save your presentation and save it as a PPTX document

Once your Canva and Google Drive accounts are connected, you need to choose where in your Google Drive you want to save your presentation. Choose the folder that works for you.

Next, choose your file type. In order for the conversion to Google Slides to work properly, you’ll want to save your presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint document (PPTX).

6. Use your Canva presentation in Google Slides!

When you share your PPTX file to your Google Drive account, it should open in Google Slides.

The great thing about this option is that you can still edit your presentation! You can edit the text, move things around, and make the changes you need.

But, if you don’t want to connect your Canva and Google Drive accounts, the good news is that option 2 lets you edit your presentations as well. And, it’s only a few more steps than option 1.

Option 2: Import a PowerPoint Presentation into Google Slides

With this method, we’ll be downloading your Canva presentation as a PowerPoint presentation and then importing it into a Google Slides presentation. Let’s walk through it step-by-step.

3. Download your presentation as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation file

There are a LOT of options to share, save, and download your presentation. Scroll down to the “Save” section and click on “Microsoft PowerPoint” and then click on the “Download” button.

4. Open a new Google Slides presentation

Navigate to Google Slides and open a brand new presentation.

5. Choose the “Import Slides” option in Google Slides

Within Google Slides, click on “File” and then choose “Import Slides.”

6. Drag and drop your Canva presentation into Google Slides

A box will appear that will allow you to either drag and drop your files into Google Slides, or find the file on your computer. Find your Canva presentation your just downloaded as a Microsoft PowerPoint file and drag and drop it into this box in Google Slides.

7. Choose the slides you want to import

Google Slides will ask you to choose the slides you want to import. Click on the “All” button, or individually click on all of your slides to import all of them into Google Slides.

8. Enjoy your presentation!

Google will import your slides after your first blank slide, so simply delete that first blank slide. Then, you’re done! You can edit, rearrange, and use your slides seamlessly within Google Slides!

Yay! Like option 1, you can edit your presentation in Google Slides. Edit the text, move things around, adjust your presentation as needed.

The first two options we’ve talked about are the quickest ways to import Canva presentations into Google Slides while maintaining your ability to edit them. That said, there are other options you may be interested in, depending on your needs. Let’s quickly review them.

Option 3: import fully designed canva images into google slides.

With this method, you’re going to design your slides in Canva and then move them over to Google Slides in their fully finished forms. These will be static images, so you WON’T be able to edit them down the road.

  • Open a Canva Presentation document. You want it to be “presentation” because the sizing will be similar to what you’ll need for Google Slides, which means you won’t have to mess with it too much when you’re done.
  • Design everything as you need it to be when it’s fully finished. All photos, texts, backgrounds; make sure all of it is there and finalized.
  • Download your Canva slides as png images. 
  • Set up your Google Slides presentation with the number of blank slides that you need. 
  • Drag and drop each png image onto a blank slide and position it so that it covers the entire slide. 
  • Make sure your slides are in the right order and then you’re done!

If you have zero need to edit your presentation in the future, this could be an appealing option for you. Our final options involves static images as well.

Option 4: Import Partially Designed Canva Images into Google Slides

If you don’t want to design your presentation fully in Canva, this could be a good option for you. Maybe you just want to create a unique background image, or import a few unique design elements. You aren’t worried about needing to edit them down the road and want to work on the majority of your presentation in Google Slides.

Here’s what you can do. Again, these will be static images that will NOT be editable in Google Slides.

  • Open a Canva Presentation document.
  • Design any static images and elements that you’re ok with finalizing and not being able to change later.
  • Download your Canva slides as png images.
  • Set up your Google Slides presentation with the number of blank slides that you need.
  • Drag and drop each png image onto a blank slide and position it so that it covers the entire slide.
  • Add any text and elements that you still need in Google Slides.

If you have some static backgrounds, images, or elements you want to incorporate into your Google Slides presentation, this can be a great option.

Use Canva to Present Your Slideshow

Alright, so this is not an option for importing your Canva presentation into Google Slides, but it’s worth talking about.

It’s easy to forget that Canva can be a one stop shop for presentations. If you don’t actually need to use Google Slides, Canva’s own presentation mode is pretty good!

You can also share your presentation and collaborate with others within Canva itself.

In the toolbar, click on the share button. From there, you can type in the email addresses of your collaborators and choose whether you want them to simply view, or full on edit the presentation.

Important note: if you use any Pro elements within your presentation, those on your team with a Canva Pro subscription should be the ones to export or download your project if needed.

canva presentation share options

If you have the Pro version, you can also share the presentation for use as a template for future projects.

These capabilities are only available within Canva. Once you import your Canva presentation into Google Slides, you’re leaving the Canva ecosystem.

The biggest hurdle with this option is getting all of your team members on board with using Canva. As Canva users, we all know that once people start using Canva, they fall in love with it.

It can be hard to adjust to new platforms though. Even though Canva is easy to learn and use, it’s still an adjustment.

If you can woo your team onto the Canva train though, my best suggestion is to simply make your presentations in Canva and keep them there. As a presentation platform, Canva has a lot to offer.

How to Convert Canva Presentations to Google Slides

graphical scheme for converting Canva Presentations to Google Slides

In today’s digital world, presentations are an important tool for effective communication. Canva and Google Slides are two popular platforms that offer a wide range of options for creating visually appealing presentations. However, there may be situations where you need to convert Canva presentations to Google Slides for collaboration or compatibility reasons. In this article, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of converting Canva presentations to Google Slides without compromising design or layout.

Exporting the Canva Presentation

First, save the presentation you want to convert to Google Slides. To do this:

  • Open your Canva account and find the presentation you want to convert;
  • Click the “Upload” button in the top right corner of the editor;
  • From the drop-down menu, select the “PDF – Standard” option;
  • Select the page range you want, or select “All Pages” if you want to convert the entire presentation.

After that, click the “Download” button to save the Canva presentation as a PDF to your computer.

Converting PDF to Google Slides 

For this, you will need to:

  • Open Google Drive and log in to your account;
  • Click on the “+ New” button on the left side and select “Upload File”;
  • Find the PDF file you downloaded from Canva and click “Open” to upload it to Google Drive;
  • Once the download is complete, right-click on the PDF file and select “Open with” from the drop-down menu;
  • Select “Google Slides” to open the PDF;
  • The platform will automatically convert the PDF into slides, preserving the content and layout as much as possible.

Review the converted slides and make any necessary adjustments or edits.

Refining the Converted Presentation 

  • Check the formatting: Since the conversion process is automated, some elements may require adjustments. Pay attention to font styles, alignment, and spacing so that they match the original Canva presentation;
  • Edit the images and graphics: Replace Canva-specific elements with similar elements available in Google Slides. Use the “Replace Image” or “Replace Shape” options to maintain visual integrity;
  • Customize layouts and themes: Apply built-in Google Slides themes or manually change the layout to achieve the look you want;
  • Align text boxes: Double-check that text boxes are properly aligned. Make the necessary changes to keep the content cohesive and readable.

If your Canva presentation had animations or transitions, you may need to recreate them in Google Slides. Use animations and transitions in Google Slides to add visual interest to your presentation.

Sharing and Collaborating 

For the last step of the conversion, you’ll need:

  • Click the “Share” button in the upper-right corner of the Google Slides editor;
  • Depending on your requirements, set the sharing permission to “Anyone with a link” or specific individuals;
  • Copy the link you’ve created and share it with your target audience.

Participants can then view, comment on or edit the Google Slides presentation, enabling seamless collaboration and feedback.

When you may need to convert Canva Presentations to Google Slides

There are several situations when you may need to convert Canva Presentations to Google Slides:

  • Collaboration: If you work with a team or colleagues who mostly use Google Slides for collaboration and editing, converting Canva presentations to it will allow you to collaborate and edit seamlessly in real time;
  • Sharing and Accessibility: Google Slides is a widely used platform, and sharing a presentation this format ensures that recipients can easily access and view the content without the need for a Canva account or software;
  • Compatibility: In some cases, you may need to present your slides on a device or in an environment where Canva is not available. Converting your Canva presentation to Google Slides provides compatibility across devices and operating systems;
  • Integration with Google Workspace: If you already use G Suite for productivity, such as Gmail, Google Drive, and Docs, converting Canva presentations to Google Slides provides seamless integration and a single workflow;
  • Access to Google Slides features: It offers a number of unique features, such as real-time collaboration, extensive sharing capabilities, and integration with other services. By converting your Canva presentation, you can use these features to enhance your presentation;
  • Presentation Viewing and Remote Presentations: Google Slides provides a special Presenter View feature that offers useful tools and features for presentations. Converting Canva presentations to Google Slides allows you to take advantage of this feature and makes it easier to deliver remote presentations via video conferencing platforms;
  • Editing capabilities and flexibility: While Canva offers a user-friendly interface for creating designs, Google Slides provides more advanced editing capabilities. By converting your Canva presentation, you can refine and customize the content, layouts, and animations as you see fit.

Remember that the decision to convert a Canva presentation to Google Slides depends on your specific requirements and the preferences of your colleagues or audience. Evaluate the situation and choose the platform that best fits your needs.

Converting Canva presentations to Google Slides can be a simple process if you follow the steps outlined in this guide. By migrating your presentations to this platform, you can take advantage of the collaboration features and ensure compatibility across devices and platforms.

To make changes to your Canva presentation and save it, go to the File menu and select Save as Google Slides. That’s it! Your classroom Canva presentations are now fully converted.

Be sure to review the converted presentation, refine the design, and make any necessary changes to preserve the original intent and aesthetics. With a little effort, you can easily convert Canva presentations to Google Slides and unlock the full potential of both platforms for your presentations.

5 Design Trends for Making Presentations to Present in Google Meet

When making your presentation, you want the presentation to be effective. Having an attractive design is a way to make your presentation more effective . Here are design five trends to be aware of:

1. Gradient Color

Gradient PowerPoint template

Solid colors can be boring. So, if you’re looking for a way to make your Google Meet presentation more visually appealing, use gradient color. Gradient color is where a color gradually transitions into another color. You can have gradient color with similar colors or contrasting colors.

2. Keep It Simple

Simple Google Meet presentation slides make the audience focus on what you want them too. This trend allows you to add the most important information to the side and leave the non-important information off. This look means less design, text, and images.

Pastel PowerPoint template

Previous trends using neon colors were in. But now those are out, and pastels are in.

Pastels add a nice touch of color to your presentation slide without distracting your audience from your main point. Pastel colors are not only less distracting but add an element of fun and whimsy to your slide design.

Visuals such as images and video have the power to evoke emotion from your audience. When choosing which visuals to use in your Google Meet presentation , choose high-quality visuals. They'll have the biggest impact on the audience.

Along with high-quality visuals, choosing visuals that are relevant to your topic is important too.

5. Nature-Inspired

Nature inspired PowerPoint template

Taking inspiration from nature is a recent trend that's popular in presentation design. Nature inspiration can mean having leaves and flowers on your slide or having a color scheme of natural colors. This trend goes well with whatever topic your Google Meet presentation may be about.

Start Your PowerPoint in Google Meet Today!

Now that you’ve read about how to present on Google Meet, use that knowledge to give a PowerPoint presentation for your next Google Meet call.

If you want a good base for your Google Meet Present and to save time, a premium template from Envato Elements is for you. But, if you don’t have many projects where you’ll need premium templates or digital assets, then GraphicRiver is also a great option.

Good luck on your presentation in Google Meet!

He has over five years of experience and has covered 1,500+ articles on GuidingTech and Android Police. In his free time, you will see him binge-watching Netflix shows, reading books, and traveling.

Canva recently introduced new tools to create docs, whiteboards, videos, websites, and presentations. As such, you no longer need to rely on traditional software solutions like Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Keynote to create an upcoming business presentation. You can easily create presentations in Canva using its familiar suite of editing tools.

How_to_Create_Presentations_in_Canva

Canva offers real-time collaboration, several export options, a present tool, AI add-ons, and much more to make a professional PPT. Canva also lets you make instant presentations with pre-filed slides. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Pick Up an Aspect Ratio and Template

Before you start, make sure to 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.

Create Presentations in Canva 1

You can also filter templates via style, theme, feature, and color. For example, you can check company, marketing, corporate, marketing, school, and other templates. Most templates are free to use, while some may require a Canva Premium subscription.  

Under templates, you also find an option to create instant presentations. You can enter a prompt and check Canva’s suggestions to get started.

Create Presentations in Canva 2

Customize a Page With Editing Features

Once you pick up a template, you have the option to add all pages to your presentations. You can click ‘Apply all pages’ and check every slide at the bottom. You can always select a slide and hit delete to remove it from your presentation.

Create Presentations in Canva 4

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 3

We suggest spending some time with editing tools to customize your Canva presentation and add some personal touches.

Add Graphics, Stickers, and Images

Your presentation will not seem as interesting 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. 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.

Create Presentations in Canva 5

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 make a smooth transition between pages.

Step 1: Select a slide in Canva.

Step 2: Click Animate at the top.

Step 3: Check basic, exaggerated, photo movement, and other animation types from the left sidebar.

Create Presentations in Canva 6

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).

When you create a PPT, select a slide and hit Notes at the bottom. Enter your notes that you want to remember or talk about during a video meeting.

Create Presentations in Canva 7

Collaborate and Edit in Real Time

Similar to Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint, Canva lets you share and edit a presentation in real time. You can take inputs from your colleagues and create a share-worthy presentation in no time.

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.

Create Presentations in Canva 1 1

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

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

You can open a presentation in Canva and select Present at the top. Click Presenter View and check two windows opening up on your computer.

Create Presentations in Canva 8

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

Download and Share Your Presentation

As expected, Canva gives several options to share and export 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

Use Canva Like a Pro

Canva has done a solid job, granting users access to rich tools to create a convincing presentation. We can’t wait to see how the Australian startup enhances our PPT experience with AI features in the future.

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

You can sign up with your Google account, Facebook account, or your email address.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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’.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

Click ‘Use this template’ to select the template if you like it or go back and select another.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

To turn off the thumbnail view, click the on/ off toggle (arrow).

how to present canva presentation in google meet

Click the grid view button to switch views.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

Click the ‘Notes’ option to add notes to the presentation that you can use for reference while presenting.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

The name of the presentation can be edited from the top-most toolbar.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

Now, on the left is the toolbar that houses all the tools for editing the design elements in the presentation.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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

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

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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

how to present canva presentation in google meet

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.

how to present canva presentation in google meet

After selecting the type, click the ‘Present’ button.

How To Make A Professional Presentation on Canva

How To Make A Professional Presentation on Canva

Creating a professional presentation requires an eye for detail. Capturing and retaining the attention of your audience can be a challenge. The secret is to make a clear, authoritative, and structured presentation. Let’s walk through the process of utilizing Canva to create a professional presentation. Our guide even offers some pro tips to get the best out of it.

Steps To Create A Canva Presentation

Step 1: open canva.

Sign into your Canva account, or create an account if you don’t have one.

Creating a professional presentation on Canva

Step 2: Choose a Presentation Template

Canva’s range of templates allows you to create professional presentations of any kind, whether it’s business, academic, or creative. To choose:

  • Click on “Create a design” on the Canva dashboard, or the “+” sign down the middle if you’re on mobile.
  • In the search bar, type “Presentation” to find a variety of presentation templates.
  • Select a template that suits your theme or topic.

The 2nd step of creating a professional presentation on Canva

Creating custom templates can save time, especially if you have similar and recurrent presentations.

Step 3: Customize Your Presentation

When you have your content ready and outlined and your template chosen, you can go ahead to:

  • Edit the text by clicking on the placeholder text boxes and entering your text.
  • Click on the graphics in the template and replace them if needed. Images can be either uploaded from your library or chosen from Canva’s library.
  • You can also add elements with the simple drag-and-drop feature. This streamlines your workflow and saves you some time and effort.
  • Simplify your text, and space it appropriately. This helps your audience grasp key points quickly.
  • Create a strong title slide. With a compelling title and a graphic or two, you’ll set the tone for the rest of the presentation.
  • Stick to a theme. Consistent font and color create a professional look for your presentation.

Step 4: Organize Your Slides

Cluttered slides are not great to look at, and can confuse you when you have to present. Well-structured slides are key for every successful presentation.

  • Use the left sidebar to navigate through your slides.
  • Add or delete slides by clicking on either the “+” or “trash can” icons.
  • Rearrange your slides as you see fit by clicking and dragging them into the desired sequence.
  • Here you can also design your cover slide and choose transition styles for your slides.
  •  You can duplicate slides you like, so you can make adjustments to one without touching the other. You can do this with the Ctrl + D (Cmd + D on Mac) shortcut.
  • Keep your presentation story-like, with a clear progression. This keeps your audience engaged.

Step 5: Elements, Icons and Multimedia

This is where Canva impresses. There’s a vast range of icons, graphics, and media you can choose from. These are of course optional. But, they play an understated role in keeping eyes on your presentation, especially when things are getting a bit clunky. 

  • Access the “Elements” tab on the left sidebar, and drag and drop the desired elements such as lines, shapes, and icons onto your slides. 
  • To add multimedia, Select “Videos” or “Audio”, then import multimedia files directly to your slides.

Adding elements and icons easily on Canva

  • Be generous with Elements and Graphics. They are great for representing tricky concepts and highlighting key points.
  • High-quality images can give your content a real facelift. Canva has an always-ready library of the best stock photos that you can always access.

Step 6: Collaborate 

  • If you’re working on the group presentation with others, you can invite your co-members by clicking on the share button in the top-right corner.
  • Collaborators can then make edits and suggestions in real time.

Canva offers the ability to collaborate with team members easily

Step 7: Preview and Present

You should always preview your finished presentation. You’re more than likely to pick up on something you missed. It is also important to know what your presentation will look like to the viewer

  • Before finalizing, click the “Present” button at the top right corner.
  • Here you can review content and structure and make any necessary adjustments.

If at preview you notice maligned elements, Canva’s grid and snap features can help to automatically align them.

 Step 8: Download or Share

  • Once ready, click the “Download” button to save your presentation as a PDF, PPT, or your preferred format.
  • You can also use the “Share” button to generate a link for easy online sharing or collaboration.

Canva Additional Features

Canva offers a healthy range of features that let users of varying experiences create top-shelf presentations.

Jumpstart your creative process by using professionally designed presentation templates. There are a lot of easy presets available for use. These templates are customizable, allowing you to change colors, fonts, and images. You can then match your preferences or branding as you see fit. 

Canva template options to create a presentation

Images And Icons

Canva provides access to a library of relevant images, icons, illustrations, and other design elements. These assets can enhance the visual appeal of your presentations. You’re of course allowed to import your images and icons if you want a more personalized touch. 

Charts and Graphs 

Canvas’s range of effects and graphics is some of the very best available. Between simple things like font variety and color tweaks, and more complex stuff like animations and transitions, there’s no shortage of options for creating a dynamic and visually appealing presentation. 

Collaboration Features

Canva allows for real-time collaboration between multiple users. This is rather useful with group presentations. This way, members of the presenting team can interact and make edits to their section. They can do this while working on the same presentation simultaneously.

With Canva, you can embed multimedia elements, such as videos and audio, directly into their presentations. This allows for a more interactive and fun experience. 

Canva Third-Party Integrations

Canva’s strength lies in its flexibility. It offers integrations with key tools, enhancing your workflow and boosting audience engagement.

These include: 

Interactive Integrations

  • Canva slides can be easily integrated into the learning experiences through the platform Pear Deck. For example, a classroom presentation on the water cycle can be made via Canva.

Learning Management Systems (LMS):

  • Canva integrates seamlessly with various LMS platforms like Canvas, Schoology, and Google Classroom. With these, Educators can receive and review student Canva assignments directly.

  • With Canva you can export your presentation in PDF, PPT, or PNG format.
  • You’re also allowed to upload these directly to cloud storage platforms for easy accessibility and teamwork.
  • Canva provides an API that developers can use to integrate Canva into other applications. So if you have the skill and time, you can easily create integrations of your own.

Presentations Apps and Integrations

  • Magic Design: This lets you generate slide designs automatically as you create them. It does so by applying designs based on your already curated content. This should help you save time and creativity.
  • Presenter Mode: You can deliver presentations with confidence using Canva’s built-in presenter mode. This comes with speaker notes, slide timers, and annotation tools.
  • Canva Live: This lets you hold live presentations hosted on Canva. Within, you can curate questions and reactions from your audience in real-time. This helps with fostering engagement and interactivity.

Stock Libraries:

  • Canva has a bulk image license with Unsplash, Getty Images, and Shutterstock. These grant you access to premium stock photos and illustrations within the platform. Many of these are otherwise expensive or difficult to find.

To explore potential third-party integrations, visit Canva App Directory and Canva for Developers.
