Background Remover

One of the tools I use way more than I thought I would is the background remover tool! Remove the background of any image straight from your Canva dashboard. This is great for creating styled flat lays and Instagram carousels – the possibilities are endless.

Text Effects

Canva has a few text effects tool options you can explore, My favourites are Circle text and Hollow. You can create really unique and cool looking text with these text effects. So play around with them and find the ones you like the most.

Recording & Presentations

The past year was the year of presentations at Canva! They have spent a lot of time adding new functionalities to their presentations, considering that more people are working from home than ever before, this makes sense! You can record yourself, just as you would with loom, however, this is only limited to the Canva app itself. This is perfect when you share presentations for coaching projects, tutorials and so much more.

Stock Photos & Video Library

The stock photos and the video library is something that’s been extremely useful, especially when creating your content designs on Canva. Create your Instagram reels by incorporating the stock videos in the Canva library! There’s so much to explore here and it’s definitely a feature you need to look into.

Smart Mockups

I love creating mockups to share my latest offers and blog posts. Canva is integrated with Smart Mockups which allows you to create unique mockup designs straight from Canva! How cool right?!
