- In this video,
I'm going to share with you 20 Canva tips, tricks,
and hacks that you can apply today
to become a better designer using Canva
and make your workflow a whole lot smoother.
Hey, my name Aurelius and on this channel,
I share my tips, tool reviews, and training
to help you build and scale your digital business.
So if that interests you,
be sure to hit that subscribe button below,
turn on notifications too
so that you'll be the first to know of any new videos
are posted up here on this channel.
With that said, I want to share with you the 20 tips,
tricks and hacks that I wish I knew
when I started using Canva.
Now tip number one I want to share with you is
when you're working with multiple layers,
sometimes you will come across layers
that are quite close together.
I want to select the middle layer,
but sometimes that can be challenging.
So what you do if you're using Mac, hold the command key,
but if you're using Windows, hold the control key.
So holding down my command key,
now I'll click on my mouse button.
That'll then select the next layer behind it.
If I click again, that'll select the layer behind that.
And now as you can see, that layer selected,
I can do whatever I want to, it's like changing colours,
just like that.
One of the other features I love about Canva
is that they have a range of book covers or ebook covers.
If you simply search for ebook cover,
you'll see a range of these ebook covers right here.
If you load up any of the ebook covers,
you'll see here you can edit it and do whatever you want.
However, the issue then is that you're stuck
with this 2d flat looking book cover.
To make it look more realistic
like an actual book cover,
you can use a tool called Smartmockups.
Thankfully, Canva does integrate with Smartmockups
and here's how to do it.
From the top,
you'll see an option for Smartmockups.
Click on Smartmockups, click on save.
And what that'll do is publish it.
Go to Smartmockups.com and sign up for a free account
or upgrade for more designs.
Once you're in, go to all mockups and from the left,
you'll see here magazines and books, choose a mockup style.
Now you are limited depending on what level of plan you are.
For this demo, I'm going to choose one of the free options.
You can see the pro ones have a lock icon there.
Let's use this one.
Under book cover,
you see upload from, select that, choose Canva.
And now I can see my template loaded there.
From here, you can crop your image.
Sometimes it may not fit so just adjust it the way you want.
Click on crop and continue.
And now it's on the actual mockup.
I can also customise the background here.
And once done, I can download it and use it for my website.
The next tip I want to share with you
is adding a shadow effect.
It's as simple as selecting the text,
go to effects and choosing shadow
and there you have the shadow.
Now you can make finer adjustments
such as the colour of the shadow.
So let's say white,
you can change the direction and the angle of your shadow.
You can also change the transparency of it.
Next tip is quite fundamental and will be handy
no matter what you are designing on Canva
and that is moving certain elements.
To really fine tune the elements on your design,
all you need to do is just use your arrows on your keyboard
and I'm simply pressing up and down,
or you can hold the key left and right.
Now that's going to only move it one pixel at a time.
You can't hold the shift key on your keyboard
and move it so that it moves 10 pixels at a time like so.
Next up, I want to show you how to add a gradient
to the background of any image.
So simply go to elements, search for gradient.
What you want to look for is the square
so I'm going to select that.
That's going to apply it to your design.
I'm just gonna drag it
so that it starts from the corner there
and then drag it from the corner.
From here, you can change the colours
by looking at the top left,
changing the first colour.
I'll just change it to yellow
and the secondary colour to orange.
And as you can see, now we've got the gradient effect.
You can also make the gradient start the other way
so click on flip, flip horizontally.
Now this is a vertical.
If you want it going horizontally,
just use the rotate feature like so.
A really simple way to add text
instead of going to text and then choosing from there
is simply to hit the T button on your keyboard.
And from there,
you can change the sizes and do whatever you want to it.
Next up, if you use specific colours on a regular basis,
it's wise to use their brand kit
so that you can refer back to it like mine right here,
I've got some colours that you can see here.
That's my colour palette based on my branding.
All you need to do if you are on the design
you can click on,
add another palette or from the homepage,
click on brand kit.
From here, click on add new palette.
Select all the colours that you want.
Once it's added, give it a name.
To start using your brand colours, simply select an element,
let's say this text.
Then go into the colour.
And now you can see the new colour palette added.
Now I can select whatever colours I want
based on those colours.
For the next tip, what I want to share with you
is instead of uploading your files to your uploads
and clicking upload an image or video,
all you really need to do is open your folder.
I've got mine here, drag and drop it,
and that's pretty much it.
This is a more intuitive method of doing it
and it'll save you a heap of time.
For this next tip,
I want to show you how to duplicate or clone certain
or specific elements.
Let's take this heart element as an example.
Select it and we can simply go and duplicate it
and drag it wherever we want.
Now, there is a shortcut for this.
All you need to do on your keyboard for Mac users,
command D or Windows control D.
And just like that, I have duplicated that element.
An even faster method is to hold the option key on your Mac
or alt key I think on the Windows and then using your mouse,
you just drag and that will clone it.
The next tip is zooming in and zooming out.
Sometimes the elements in the canvas
looks quite small on screen.
So what you want to do is use the zoom feature.
You can either use it from here by selecting the percentage,
or you can use the command key on the Mac
or control on the Windows system
and then plus minusing on your keyboard like so.
My favourite way to do it is holding the command key
and scrolling up and down using my mouse.
Next tip is grouping texts or elements.
Let's say I want to group these two elements right here.
All I need to do really is just select the first element,
holding the shift key on my keyboard
then selecting the second element.
And let's say this icon here or this element clicking again,
and now that's all grouped together.
And now what I want to do is click on the group option
and now that's grouped together.
So now when I move this anywhere,
it is all grouped together and it won't lose its position.
To ungrip it simply,
select any of those elements and click on ungrip
and you're done.
The next tip is cropping.
Because Canva doesn't have an eraser tool,
we need to be able to just use the cropping feature.
So click on the element you want to crop.
Click on crop once you've selected it.
And from here,
we can now use these drag options to crop it where we want.
So let's say halfway here, click on done
and now it's cropped.
Now for this next tip,
we are going to filter based on free or Canva Pro elements.
So by selecting the filter icon at the top here,
once we're in elements,
we can choose whether it's free or pro elements
that we want to search for.
So let's say free.
Now apply the filters, search for what we want.
And now these are all the free elements that we can select
rather than having the pro elements together.
The next tip I want to share with you
is filtering by colour.
So all you need to do is search for whatever element
you want first.
So I'll search for sunglasses here and from the filters,
I'll then select the colour that I want.
So let's say I only want red sunglasses.
I'll select the red colour, apply filters.
And as you can see, these are all the elements I can use
based on red sunglasses.
Next up is hyperlinking certain texts
so that if you are saving it as a PDF, for example,
you want your viewer or customer to be able
to click on a specific text, then this may be handy.
So let's zoom into this particular text here,
and let's say we want this line of text to be hyperlinked.
I'll just select it and clicking on the link icon,
I'll then enter my URL.
Click on apply and now this is linked.
Here's a PDF we downloaded
and if we click on the hyperlink,
we're then taken to our link.
Next up, I want to teach you how to use templates.
This is especially useful
if you have some social media templates that usually use,
let's say you create quotes and you stick to one design
or a couple of designs.
This is how you are going to save some time.
Let's say this is my finished template.
All I need to do is just save it here.
Scroll down to your final template,
click on template, add the template to a specific folder.
So let's say your marketing folder, click on select folder,
publish the template,
and now it's added to your templates.
To use your template for next time,
you can find the folder here or go to all your folders
and you'll find your folder there.
Select the template, click on it, and either choose
use this template or edit original.
Obviously you just want to use this template,
not edit the original.
Click on use this template.
Now it's loaded from the template and you can freely edit it
without affecting the original template.
Moving on to the next tip,
what I want to share with you is perfect alignment.
How do you align text and all sorts of elements
so that it is perfectly aligned.
Let me first share with you the first way.
Now, if you want to centre the text,
it's hard to know where the centre is.
Let me share with you the first way.
If we put this text here,
let's say we want that dead set in the middle.
All we need to do is go to position,
click on the middle then to the centre
and there you have it, that's right in the middle.
Second way to perfectly align elements and texts
is to go to file.
Turn on show rulers.
From the rollout, you want to just drag
using your mouse.
Set where you want your text or elements to start,
and then start dragging your element
and you can see that it's lined right there.
I'll also align the other heading.
To remove the guide, all you need to do
is just use your mouse again and drag it away.
Next up, I want to show you
how to remove backgrounds using Canva.
However, side note, this is a Canva Pro feature,
but let's say I have this image right here,
and I want to remove the background of this.
Simply hit effects once selected.
Click on background remover,
and in just a matter of seconds,
you'll see the background removed.
Now I can use this image for my YouTube thumbnails
or any other marketing club.
Next up, what I want to show is
how to create that highlight
or stroke effect around yourself
and you may have seen this in many YouTube thumbnails.
Here's how to do it, select your image,
and we're gonna make a copy
and we're gonna work on the back layer here.
Choosing effects, make sure you select duotone
and choose any of the effects
since we are going to change a colour anyway.
Select again, for the highlight,
just select white.
For the shadows, select white as well.
And we are gonna change the background first
so obviously it stands out.
Choosing my colour here.
Next up with your main image,
you want to put it over and from here,
we're going to resize it just a tad.
And we can get away with that, but if you want,
you can also move it with your arrow.
And now you've got the highlight effect
that now you can use on your thumbnail.
The next tip I want to share with you is Canva frames.
So if we search for frames,
selecting one of the frames that say this screen here,
I'm gonna resize this a bit.
You'll see a placeholder image.
This means that if you upload or drag any image here,
you can only show the photo based on the frame.
So for example, let's go to uploads
and choosing one of these images here.
Let's say this one here, I'll just drag it.
And as you can see,
it's automatically cropped image to fit the frame.
To select a different part of that photo,
simply double tap or double click, and then move across.
So there we go.
If you learned a thing or two,
be sure to hit that like button
and subscribe if you're new,
make sure to turn on notifications too
so that you don't miss out on any tips,
tools and training post up here on this channel.
Thanks so much for watching
and I'll see you in the next video.
(upbeat music)
