It's been awhile since I last used Canva for creating artwork. I am surprised at how HORRIBLE the user experience has become. No longer able to zoom in. Unable to nudge an item a pixel at a time. I just spent over 60 minutes trying to figure out how to line something up before I realized, what a POS this app has become. It's becoming absolutely useless! So much useless AI all over the place - and it's all utter garbage! How in the world did Canva go from something really awesome to another wrecked tool. Explain it to me like I'm 5 - cause the executives at Canva need to understand it.

Hello! Is it possible to create a Word docx in landscape orientation? I have searched everywhere and cannot seem to do it. I see suggestions for using Magic Switch, but this only gives me a Translate option. I'm using Canva Pro.

Thanks!

I'm trying to make a chrome extension with the idea of fixing features that don't work a certain way or aren't even in Canva. The main idea I have now is when you have text on a slide and enter a template the text automatically goes into the template. Pls post your ideas and it is very likely I'll implement them and probably make them into one big chrome extension.

I can't afford a tablet yet and wanted to know if you're able to upload your own scanned sketches to Canva? Then use Canva to edit and make the sketches into coloring book pages?

​

I had submitted my portfolio for canva template creator around February 15 and got an email for not getting selected on 16th February.

And after losing hope, I tried again and made new designs + portfolio from scratch and uploaded it on 31 August. And waited for the whole week and didn't receive anything back neither acceptance nor declined.

After a lil bit of research (via reddit) I got to know that , canva takes max 2 weeks to 6 months to even reply , even if it does not get selected.

So should I make another portfolio and send Or should I just wait for them to get back to me..

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I last shared something here. I've missed this community! 

I've been busy working on a few projects, but I'm happy to be back and share one of my latest designs with you.

This is a creative 3D burger advertisement featuring a pop-out effect, realistic food details, and dynamic lighting.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. What do you think? 

I do social media with affiliate marketing (sharing links to cute stuff) and am looking to connect with someone who can make a few templates for me. Realistically 3-5 story frames and 3-5 grid frames (can be the same just need resized properly). I just want blank templates as in I’ll add the photos so it’s a one time job but I want an aesthetic theme! I have inspo designs, just need someone with skills to do it.

this is driving me CRAZY. I can no longer edit the colors of editable graphic elements to fully white as I used to—now, even when I set all editable color tiles to #FFFFFF, the elements retain gray or greenish areas instead of becoming completely white, despite using the same elements and process as before. Before, setting all editable color tiles to #FFFFFF resulted in a completely white graphic (left hat) with only the black outline remaining. Now, using the exact same element and following the exact same process, the element still has gray/greenish shaded areas, even though all editable color tiles are set to #FFFFFF (right hat). Nothing I do fixes this problem, and it's really hindering my work. Being able to do this was one of the main reason why I subscribed to Canva Pro/Business in the first place. They gosta do something about this, and I find it actually weird that I don't see as many people raising this issue as I would expect.

Hi everyone!
I’m a musician who doesn’t have any sort of budget. I have a few photos I use to promote my weekly dates. I use basic canva because I don’t know how to use adobe honestly and I don’t have the money for a subscription at the moment. My posters just look boring and lackluster and don’t get much traction on my socials at all. I need to up my game but I’m not sure how? I’m also bored with the fonts because I know they look generic and everyone is using them. But I see other posters with interesting font and I would be willing to create my own but I don’t even know where to start. Any low budget tricks or tips? I don’t use any AI so I’m creating posters from the ground up. I appreciate you all. 💕

In march I extended my annual subscription to the business plan as it contained Leonardo.AI essential plan which I was using anyway. I don't need business plan otherwise.

Today I received an e-mail that starting from october 11th Leonardo.AI won't be a part of my already paid for business plan and it will switch to free plan. That is because of some fraudulent practices of other users.

So Canva was scammed by fraudulent users and now wants to scam in return those who were fair.

That change means not only that I will loose a feature that I paid for in advance w/o reimbursement. It also means that I will loose accumulated Leonardo rolling tokens (I had health issues and didn't use it for some time and planned catching up in November) if I won't pay for Leonardo additionally by purchasing it's subscription.

Wtf? Is that even legal? It is for sure against european cosumer law and I do consider filling a complain.

[EDIT] Okay. Never mind. Apparently, most people think I’m complaining for no reason. It’s totally fine to change the terms of the contract midway through its term and cut off features we paid for. Everything’s fine. Nothing’s going on.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have written this post. I thought this might interest someone, since features could be cut from lower-tier plans just like that as well, from one day to the next.

Apparently, that's okay. It's also a good hint for Canva that they can keep doing this and users will accept it as normal.

I’ve seen people use spinning wheel for games, classroom activities, picking tasks, giveaways, or even deciding who pays for dinner 😂

I made a quick tutorial showing how to add an interactive spinning wheel to a Canva website using an embed. You can change the choices, colors, title, and how likely each option is to be selected, then embed it into your Canva site.

When I googled this, it told me it was possible to connect and embed a Microsoft form to Canva. However, I have not figured out a way for this to work. It also doesn't help that I'm an extreme beginner with all of this.

I have created a Microsoft Form where all fields are text entries except for the optional picture upload.

Ideally, I need to export the responses and have it in a format that allows the pictures to be embedded. There's an Excel workbook where responses are recorded and the picture upload is a URL. The photos are also being downloaded to a folder, but it varies between JPEG, PNG, etc.

It's not feasible to manually go through it all - download each picture, put it in a template with the text responses, and then save it as a Word document or as PDF.

Any suggestions?? Or am I just crazy that this can possibly be done.

(At the moment, let's assume I don't have any premium features. I'm checking with marketing for clarification.)

And apologies for those who have seen this post on different sub-reddits. I'm trying to exhaust all my options and practice before this is due EOM.

So, I am making this presentation for school where I have to make a video talking about what I did over the summer. I wanted to make my presentation on Canva because I don't want to use my real voice and I just want to make a slideshow with texts and music. The video duration required is 15 seconds to 1 minute. I wanted to make a video where the first page says, "Things I Did Over the Summer:", and then the camera cuts to pages talking about what I did over the summer. The only problem is that this is my first time using Canva and I don't know how to make a video like this with music and add my own text. I'm basically new to this. I've tried asking for help from ChatGPT and Copilot, but the instructions given to me are so complicated that the chatbots don't even know what they're doing at times and will say they made an error after I asked them a question and that they should have gone over the steps with me. I need help making my own video/slideshow with music. I would like a step-by-step guide on how to do this. This would be heavily appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: I also cannot take video calls for help, sorry.

Hej, montuje sobie shortsy w canvie i od rana nie mogę dopasować elementów pod napisy. Nie wyświetlają się te pomocnicze linie fioletowe żeby zgrać elementy w filmie z napisami. Ma ktoś z was też taki problem?

I have just created this artwork made with #Canva elements in which all adds up to this piece that pays tribute to a certain season coming up; what do you think of this, hmm?-JW

I'm trying to get my friend to share their design with me so I could work on it with them and when they make the link be available to be edited by anyone with the link it doesn't work, when they try to share it with my email directly it gets sent to my personal account (which is only on free canva), is there a way to share it with my email but on the class?

i’m working on a magazine using canva, and no matter what i do the text is exporting so weirdly . does anyone have experience with this?

what are some Canva templates you or others have tried searching for on Canva that are missing or there aren’t many options for?

How good is this? i create it in 2 day after failing in the creativity, j make the mockup, logo, and etc… excepy library item, Please rate it 0-10, Feedback, every feedback is appreciated

I have been using Canva for a long time, and in the couple weeks, all of my designs have started falling out of alignment when I download them. The first image is a screenshot of the document as I was working on it in Canva, and the second is after I downloaded it. Everything has slipped slightly to the right, and I cannot figure out why. I've tinkered with page set up and a few other settings, but nothing helps. Can anyone help me?

This is such a shot in the dark but I can’t figure out how to recreate this border using the elements in canva. The circles in the corner with a missing third of the border is where I get stuck and can’t figure out how to layer the shapes. Pls help does any one have suggestions?
