How to Use Canva Presentations

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

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’.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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’ .

Countdown : Add a countdown from ‘1-9’ by pressing one of the keys.

Quiet : Bring a 🤫 emoji to screen to hush your audience with the ‘Q’ key.

Bubbles : Press down the ‘O’ key to bring bubbles on the screen.

Blur : Build tension and add drama to the atmosphere by blurring the screen with the key ‘B’.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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. Speaking of which, we would love to see a feature similar to ‘Design Ideas from Microsoft PowerPoint’ on Canva. Do let us know if you use Canva for presentations in the comments below.

Canva Presentation Tutorial: How To Make Presentation In Canva + How To Use Canva For Presentation

Want to easily create presentation slides but are tired of the options that PowerPoint provides? In this Canva presentation tutorial I'll show you how to create amazing presentations using Canva. Canva is my absolute favorite graphic design tool for non-designers and it comes with a number of presentation templates that you can customize.

If you've been wondering how you can create better presentations with Canva, stay tuned until the end of this video to learn how to use Canva to create a presentation, and to get a FREE cheat sheet with 9 amazing online business tools like Canva that you can use in your online business to save time and boost your productivity. Also, make sure to subscribe and hit the bell to be notified every time I post a new video. With that said let's go ahead and jump right in.

First off, if you don't have a Canva account yet, just click on the link in the description box below to create one for free .

After you've logged in to your Canva account, click on the search bar, and search for 'presentation'. Canva has a number of presentation templates that you can customize, which include all of the kinds of slides that you might need, or if you prefer, you can select a blank template to start from scratch.

To view the available slides within the presentation template, just click on the three little dots on the top-right of the presentation template, and click through the available slides at the bottom. Don't worry too much which presentation template you choose since you can always change it later.

Once you've selected a presentation design to customize, click on 'use this template' to edit it. Just like with any regular Canva template, you can click on any of the elements on the page to customize them, such as the background, image and text, or click on any of the options from the left-hand side panel to add new photos, elements or text into your design.

Using Canva to create a presentation is easy because it's super straightforward. To edit any of the existing elements on a presentation slide, all you have to do is click on it, and view the available options up top. For instance, you can change the color of this square to any other one of your choice, you can change what this text says by double clicking on it, and writing something new, you can change the appearance of this text by editing its font, size and color, and you can either add an effect to this image, or add a new one altogether by clicking on 'photos' from the left-hand side panel, searching for the photo of your choice, and then drag-and-dropping it right where this original photo is.

For more details on how to customize a Canva design, make sure to watch my video on ' how to use Canva '. I'll leave the link to it in the description box below.

As you can see, Canva has a number of slide options that you can customize for your presentation, such as cover, icons, outline or table of contents, photo and text, quote, step-by-step, comparison, numbers, three column, bar chart, text only with multiple headings, question or statement page, title for a section, video, photo and text again, big photo and text, and so on and so forth.

You can customize each of these slides, as well as add presenter notes to them, move them up or down to reorder your presentation slides, copy the page to duplicate this slide's design, delete it altogether, and add a new blank page.

To add an animation to any of your slides, select the page that you want to animate, and select one of the animation options available. You can either add a new animation to new slide, or choose 'apply to all pages' to add the same animation to all slides.

Once you're done customizing the presentation you created in Canva, rename your design up top, and then click on the downward pointing arrow on the far right of the screen . There are a number of options that you can choose from: present, where you can present these slides right now where you either advance at your own pace, set speed to automatically play or view your notes and upcoming slides, present and record, where you can record yourself while talking over a presentation, and then share the video on YouTube, as an evergreen webinar, or with specific people, download these slides as an image, PDF, video or GIF, share a link to this presentation with others, publish this presentation as a beautiful, responsive website, or download your presentation as a PowerPoint document.

Now you know how to use Canva to create a presentation so you can easily create your presentation slides. As promised, to get a FREE cheat sheet with 9 brilliant tools like Canva that you can use in your online business to save time and boost your productivity, just click on the link in the description box below.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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

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.

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 Presentations: How to Create and Share Them

Canva may not be your first thought for creating a presentation. However, this popular web-based design tool offers a robust slideshow feature set. We’ll walk through how to create a Canva presentation, present it to your audience, and share it using a variety of methods.

Create a Canva Presentation

If you’ve never made a presentation with Canva, don’t worry. This online graphic design application goes beyond creating images and crafting infographics. Canva makes it super easy to create and set up a presentation for your audience.

On the Canva home page, select Presentations below the Search bar. Then, choose a slideshow size or Canva presentation template to get started.

Note : If you’re using Canva Docs , you can also convert your document to a presentation by selecting Convert at the top. Follow the prompts, and you’ll see your presentation open in the Canva editor.

Once in the Canva editor, use the menu on the left side to add slide elements. You can select or drag items like shapes, images, or text boxes onto your slides.

You can also edit or remove a slide element by selecting it and using the tools that display near the item or in the top toolbar. For example, you can change the style of text or transparency of an image.

Be sure to check out the full set of Canva presentation tools in the editor. You can add animations, insert slide transitions, use the grid view to rearrange presentation slides, and more.

Set Up the Presentation

After you tap your creativity to make an attractive and informative presentation, you can add notes, clock your speaking time, and adjust the slide durations.

Add Presenter Notes

To add presenter notes to a slide, select Notes in the bottom toolbar. Then, type your note in the panel that displays on the left. You can then move to your other slides and add notes the same way.

When you finish, deselect Notes in the toolbar.

Use the Timer

If you’d like to time your presentation, you can use the built-in countdown Timer feature. Select Timer in the bottom toolbar to display the timer. By default, the timer is set for five minutes, but you can change this using the plus and minus buttons.

Press the Play button to start the countdown, the Pause button to temporarily stop the timer, and the Reset button to restart the timer.

To close the Timer, deselect Timer in the toolbar.

Set the Slide Duration

Maybe you’re using Autoplay (described below) and would like to display particular slides for a longer or shorter time. You can adjust the slide duration for each or all slides in two different ways in Canva.

Use the Duration Slider

Expand the bottom section by selecting the Show Pages arrow. Then, choose Duration on the left to see the default timing for each slide.

Select a slide thumbnail (page) and hover your cursor over the left or right side of it to display the duration slider. Then, drag the slider in or out to shorten or lengthen the duration.

When you finish, deselect Duration in the toolbar and optionally use the Hide Pages arrow to minimize the bottom section.

Use the Timing Feature

Another way to change the duration of a slide is by using the Timing option at the top of the editor. Select a slide to see its duration and choose the current timing to enter a new duration, or use the slider to adjust it.

You can also turn on the toggle to apply the new duration to all pages (slides) in the presentation.

To close the Timing tool, deselect it in the top toolbar.

Show a Canva Presentation

The great thing about creating a presentation in Canva is that you can present from it as well. If you prefer not to download and present using a different application, you have a few options to show your slideshow directly from Canva.

When you’re ready to present or practice your presentation, select Present on the top right. You’ll then see the options below.

Present in Full Screen Mode

Choose the Present full screen option to enter presentation mode. You’ll see your presentation consume your entire screen and have controls at the bottom.

Use the arrows on the left to move through the slides and the controls on the right to zoom, interact, use shortcuts, or exit full-screen mode.

Use Presenter View

To see your notes and controls on one screen with your presentation on another for your audience, choose Presenter view .

Your screen shows the time, a count-up timer, and other controls for a countdown, AutoPlay, and the font size for your notes.

You can drag the other screen wherever needed for your audience to view.

Present and Record

Maybe you want to incorporate your smiling face into your presentation. For this, pick the Present and record option to record yourself live as the presentation plays. You can then share the whole presentation as if you’re in the same room.

Note : This feature is currently only available when using the Google Chrome web browser.

You’ll see your face appear in a circle on the bottom left of the presentation. You can use the Pause and End recording buttons at the top to control the recording as well as see your presenter notes.

When you finish, you’ll see a link that you can copy and have the option to download the recorded presentation immediately.

Use Autoplay

Like Autoplay for a PowerPoint presentation, this is one more way to present a slideshow using Canva. With Autoplay, you can start the presentation and let it play on its own. This is ideal for kiosk presentations or when you are unable to present yourself.

When you choose Autoplay , the presentation begins and moves through each slide using the Durations you set (explained earlier). You can also manually control the presentation if needed using the same tools as the Present Full Screen option.

Share a Canva Presentation

Along with or instead of actually presenting a slideshow with Canva, you can share it in a variety of ways. Whether you want to collaborate with your team, download the file to your device, or pop the presentation up on social media, Canva has you covered.

Select Share in the top right corner and then choose one of the following ways to share.

Collaborate With Others

Maybe you want to work on the final presentation with a team member or coworker. You can grant access to others and provide them with a collaboration link.

Enter the people, groups, teams, or email addresses in the People with access field. Then, open the Collaboration link drop-down menu and pick Anyone with link to provide access.

Download a Presentation

If you’d like to save your presentation to your device or download it as a Microsoft PowerPoint file, this is easy too.

Select Download and use the File type drop-down to pick PDF, PPTX, GIF, PNG, or another format.

You can then choose to flatten the PDF, include notes, or download only certain pages (slides).

Share on Social Media

Want to post your presentation directly to Facebook, Instagram, or another social media network? Select Share on social , choose the location, and follow the subsequent prompts to sign in and set up the social media post.

More Sharing Options

If you don’t see the sharing avenue you want, don’t despair because there are even more. Select More at the bottom of the Share menu.

You’ll then see sections for Share, Social, Save, Messaging, Design, and More Options giving you a ton of sharing methods. As examples, you can obtain a public link, send it to your phone, get an embed code for your blog, upload it to Dropbox or Google Drive, send it to Slack or WhatsApp, and more.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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. 

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. Through the Pear Deck integration, teachers can introduce quizzes, draggable elements, and prompts. Students can then interact with these and receive teacher feedback.

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.

How to Integrate AI Technologies in College Project Presentations

• Post author By John Mike
• Post date August 15, 2024

Image created with Microsoft Designer

Imagine impressing your classmates and professors with a cutting-edge college project presentation. Integrating AI technologies can make this vision a reality. With tools like Dall-E for eye-catching visuals, Suno for custom soundtracks, and SlidesAI to polish your slides, the future of presentations looks brighter than ever.

Stay ahead in academia by exploring how these innovations work together. We’ll navigate through practical examples, expert tips, and unique strategies that will elevate your next presentation from ordinary to extraordinary.

Enhancing Visual Appeal with AI Image Generators

AI image generators like Dall-E offer exciting opportunities for your college presentations. Imagine bringing the ancient world to life by creating vivid, custom visuals of historical events or long-lost architecture.

These tools can generate images that perfectly align with your project’s theme, making abstract ideas tangible. If you’re tackling a subject like ancient history, visualize cities as they were in their prime or reconstruct significant landmarks.

This capability adds a layer of engagement that static images can’t achieve. You have creative control to tweak these images for accuracy and artistic flair.

Use cases extend beyond history classes. In biology, illustrate cellular processes with dynamic visuals tailored to your explanation. For literature studies, create imaginative representations of classic texts’ settings or characters.

Moreover, integrating these visuals into SlidesAI transforms basic slides into compelling stories without overwhelming technical detail. Students leverage cutting-edge technology effectively when blending creativity and AI-generated content in educational contexts.

Designing Custom Soundtracks with Canva

Crafting a unique soundtrack for your project can elevate its impact, and Canva’s music capabilities make this easier than ever. Perhaps trying to set the right tone or evoke specific emotions? Start using AI for music within Canva’s expansive library.

Picture yourself presenting a psychology project. Analyzing emotional responses becomes vivid with subtle background scores that match various moods. For environmental science topics, natural soundscapes create immersive atmospheres, connecting audiences emotionally.

In art history presentations, consider blending classical tunes that align with the era being discussed. It’s about adding another dimension to learning experiences through auditory elements tailored precisely to your subject matter.

Tailoring your soundtrack to the theme of your presentation is key. Consider using the best streaming service to ensure an uninterrupted flow of music that complements your AI-generated visuals, enhancing the overall impact of your project.

You mix and match tracks seamlessly in Canva’s user-friendly interface while adjusting volume levels for balance and effect. So whether you’re emphasizing a point or transitioning between sections, customizing soundtracks enhances storytelling dynamics across diverse academic fields.

Structuring Your Presentation for Maximum Impact

Organizing your presentation effectively captures attention and delivers your message clearly. Start by outlining key points with AI tools like SlidesAI, which helps streamline content logically.

If you’re presenting on a topic such as climate change, breaking down complex information into digestible segments ensures better understanding. Begin with an engaging introduction to set the stage, followed by concise data-backed sections that support your thesis.

Include interactive elements, like quizzes or Q&A sessions, to maintain engagement throughout. Use AI-powered visuals to reinforce main ideas and keep slides visually appealing without cluttering them.

Transition smoothly between topics using well-designed slides that guide your audience seamlessly from one point to the next. The conclusion should recap critical insights while leaving room for thought-provoking questions or discussions.

Strategic structuring maximizes impact whether addressing peers in class or faculty at a seminar, combining clarity and engagement with intelligent design principles.

Insightful Practical Tips for Structuring Presentations

– Use Visual Cues

Incorporate diagrams, icons, and images to highlight key points. They help clarify complex ideas and keep your audience’s attention.

– Incorporate Storytelling

Weave narratives into your presentation to make data relatable. Real-world examples engage listeners emotionally and intellectually.

– Optimize Slide Content

Keep slides clean with minimal text. Use bullet points for clarity, ensuring visuals support rather than overshadow information.

– Practice Timing and Flow

Rehearse transitions between sections to maintain a natural rhythm. Proper pacing allows you to deliver content without rushing or dragging.

– Gather Audience Feedback

Use polls or feedback tools during or after presentations for insights on effectiveness. Adjust future presentations based on responses for continuous improvement.

Preparing for Tomorrow’s Academic Challenges with AI

AI technologies transform how students tackle academic challenges, offering innovative solutions for dynamic learning environments. By integrating tools like Dall-E and Canva into presentations, you not only elevate your current projects but also build essential skills for future academic endeavors.

Anticipating upcoming trends in AI means staying adaptable and ready to embrace new educational opportunities. With these insights, students are better equipped to face tomorrow’s evolving demands, harnessing technology as a powerful ally in their learning journey.
