1. Shadows Effects


Okay, we all know that Canva released the shadow text effect. Canva has also just launched the ability to add shadow effects to images. This is great for add shadows to images like product cut-outs to make the items pop! This is something Picmonkey uses has had for a while! But I’m super thrilled that Canva has finally added this to their arsenal of tools.


How to use:

  • On your Canva project choose an item with a removed background, this can be a beauty product or face cut out.
  • Click on the effects.
  • Find Shadows
  • Choose the shadow effect you want to use.
  • You can now change the shadow size, transparency, blur and colour!

2. Change Title Names


Didn’t you find it annoying having to rename the images after you downloaded multiple designs from your Canva project? Well, now Canva has added the ability to change the title names on each Canva graphic you create. This is extremely useful if you’re wanting to launch graphics on certain days and needing to give them separate names. 


How to use: 

  • On your graphics next to the page number, you will find the page title appear simply add your title to each graphic. 
  • You can then download them in bulk and each title name you added will appear!

3. Tidy Up 


Canva also released a new feature called tidy up! Now you can easily tidy up your elements on our design with the click of one button! This tool is extremely useful when you have many elements in one design. No more having to change the aligned of one element at a time. This will save you so much time creating your designs!


How to use:

  • Drag your mouse over all your elements.
  • Go to position, on the right-hand corner of Canva.
  • You’ll find the tool called tidy up.
