Starting with Canva might be the easiest in comparison to other graphic designing tools, but it's a bit time taking to find and understand many of its features when you're just starting out, especially the hidden ones. So I came up with this post showing most of the Canva features list.

In this post, I am going to share the most common features of Canva pro that can make your content creation journey more enjoyable by allowing you to find most of its features instantly.

Before we head into the complete Canva features list let's see what actually Canva is? and the things that you can do with Canva.

What is Canva? What is it used for?

Canva is an online graphic design platform with an easy to use drag and drop photo and video editor that has a web version and a mobile application as well.

It comes with an intuitive editor feature that enables anyone without any prior graphic designing experience to create social media graphics, videos, presentations, documents, and Gifs for personal or professional use. Advertisements

With more than a hundred million premium stock photos and videos, over six hundred thousand pre-built templates and elements to choose from, plus the easy to use editor tool, Canva has also become one of the most used graphic designing applications over the years. It has around 750,000 users around the world.

It comes with a free version as well as the pro version. The free version is enough to create simple designs but I would rather suggest you go for the pro version as it's not so costly and the benefits of Canva pro supersedes the things you get from the free feature to a very larger extent.

An overview of what is Canva used for? and some of its amazing features

The first feature that attracts a lot of userbase to Canva is the photo background removal feature. Which allows the user to easily remove the background of an image instantly.

The other editing options from Canva that can give a different touch to your designs are amazing designing tools like the image shadow option, Duotone, text effects, page animations and the image or element transparency feature.

Canva Pro also allows you to add up to 5 team members, and also collaborate and comment with the team members in real-time while working on a design, plus you can share your design through a link where the one receiving the link at the other end can easily edit and download the design.

The other intriguing features are options like content calendar, social media scheduling (Sharing up to 8 social media platforms in the premium version), folder option to organize different projects and design collection with 6 different media download options, which are PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, MP4 and GIF.

Canva also has a print service integrated within its platform. You can create your design or even choose one from the pre-built design, edit it and order print items like T-shirts, posters, invitation cards, photo books, Canvas prints, mugs etc.

Canva pricing plans

Canva comes with three pricing plans including the free plan. Check it out in the table below.

The pro features start with Rs.3999 which is around $55 for a year and with a capability to add up to 5 team members.

The maximum capacity in the pro is 50 team members with a price of Rs. 111,999 or around $1520 for a year.

The pro features includes the background remover in your designing arsenal, plus 100 brand kit and more than a million free stock images and templates.

It also extends your storage capacity which is 100GB, and,

Social sharing options with up to 8 platforms.

The enterprise plan starts with Rs.55,000 a year, it mainly for big organisation and enterprises.

The base plan allows to add up to 25 team members and a maximum of 50. If you have more member, you can reach out to the sales contact team for a custom plan.

You get all the features same as the pro plan with an extra features included too. Like SSO (Single-Sign on) and an enterprise level support for 24/7 hours.

You can use the free plan if it's for personal use, however, if it's for a business, the pro plan would be the best to choose from, considering the vast array of tools that you get with it.

Now let's have a look at the complete Canva features list that can get you started.

Canva features list

To make it less complicated I will divide the features available into 4 four parts.

Canva main toolbar

The main toolbar is where you can manage your projects, start your designs and much more.

Create your design

To create a design, you have different ways to get started. The first option would be to go to the create a design button and start creating your design.

You can either choose a design type from the suggested options or search for a specific format by entering a keyword.

By clicking the create a design button, you will also be able to import your files like photos, and PDFs to edit your file.

Other ways to start your design

The other way to start your design, you can select a template from the blue box on the dashboard which also has the option to search and upload your design.

Or,

Just head over to the feature option in the main menu, choose your option and start designing. [Menu>>Option>>Start]

All your designs - This tab stores all your previous designs.

Recent designs - As the name suggests, this tab contains all your recently made designs.

Shared with you - This tab contains the designs that someone has shared with you through a link.

All your folders - This tab leads you to your folders if you have made any for different projects.

You can create a folder after you click the tab and are led to the folder section just as shown in the picture below.

Trash - All your deleted files will be found here.

The files in the trash remain in the cloud storage unless you delete them permanently from the trash section.

Team section - In the team section, there are two tabs, the first one is where you can share and collaborate on designs with your team. Inside the team dashboard, you can share designs, and create folders, templates, groups and apps.

Tools section - Under the tools section, you get a Brand kit and the content planner feature. The brand kit allows you to create templates, add logos, choose typography unique to your brand and manage different colours related to your brand in one place to make your workflow easier.

Content planner - on the other hand, allows you to plan and schedule your content to be published on different social media channels.

Apart from these features, there are some amazing things you can do from the Canva main dashboard. You can learn some basic design and branding tips from the learn section found at the top toolbar.

And the other wonderful feature that Canva offers is the Color wheel, Color palette generator and colour theories plus the colour palette ideas, which I use often.

Just head over to https://www. canva.com/colors/ and it will take you there.

Canva design dashboard

The design area or the dashboard is different from the main dashboard. You get to the Canva design toolbar/dashboard when you select to create or edit a design.

In there, you will find different features Canva has which in itself is unique and dynamic.

Let's begin with the main toolbar at the left-hand side of your Canva design toolbar page. This toolbar is where you will find all the elements like fonts, images, videos and upload options to help you create your design.

Templates - The first one at the top is the templates section, it allows you to choose from amongst the pre-made templates to use in your design. It automatically shows you the template according to the design format you have chosen.

Elements - The element section lets you select and use any template provided by Canva to use in your designs. It consists of lines and shapes, graphics, stock photos and videos, charts frames and grids.

Uploads - The upload section has two uses, the first allows you to upload files that can be used in your design and the other option allows you to record yourself through the webcam and also record your laptop/PC screen.

Photos - The photos section is again the collection of stock images that can be used in your designs.

Text - Through the text option you can insert different texts in your design. You can also use the texts from your pre-saved brand kit.Advertisements

Styles - The style section consists of a trending and curated colour and text combination that allows you to easily design your projects. You can also use brand-kit colour combinations and texts.

Videos - Videos consist of stock videos that can be used in your designs. The recording option can also be used in this section.

QR Code - This section allows you to create a QR Code for your website or a URL.

Logos - The logo section can be used to upload your brand or business logo to make it convenient for you to use in your designs.

The folders section contains the folders that you create for different projects.

The More section which you can find in the three-dot contains various apps and other extra features that you can integrate with your Canva account. Such as connecting your social media accounts like Instagram, YouTube, Bitmoji etc.

Canva editing toolbar

The Canva editing toolbar comes with many powerful editing tools. It's located at the top of the visual design area.

The editing tool is somewhat different as it appears in different manners. The tool appears according to the elements you choose, it shows you only the editing feature available in the element you choose.

For example, the tool might appear different when you select the text, and it changes when you select other elements such as the image or a gradient. The tools appear according to the editable option of the element selected.

The list below will show the different editing options that you get in the Canva editing toolbar.

Font option - This option lets you choose from the variety of font collections available in Canva.

Font size - Then comes the font size option, you can easily choose the different font sizes for your design.

Font alignment - Just like any writing tool, Canva also comes with font alignment, letter and line spacing and the bullet and numbering option.

The editing features come with an extended feature with more options, you will find it in the three dots. Under this option, you get the Underline, animate, position, transparency, link and the copy tool.

In addition to all these editing tools, Canva also has the option to edit images with options like crop, flip, animate and change colours of the elements.

Canva's latest features.

The key thing about Canva apart from being a user-friendly tool is that it is constantly evolving by adding new features almost every now and then.

Let's have a look at the latest features that were recently added to Canva. I'll also be updating this list whenever there's a new feature added in Canva.

PDF upload

This one's been added a while ago. Before that Canva did have the option to download your designs in a PDF format but with the addition of the PDF upload tool, you can upload any PDF to Canva and edit it.

To Upload, any PDF just click the Create design located at the Canva main toolbar and select upload. (The upload is not just limited to PDF, you can upload any other file like images, fonts etc.)

Now select the PDF file from your local device or any other storage drive and upload your file.

Draw

This tool has taken Canva as a design tool to a different level. With this powerful tool, you can start drawing in Canva for your designs.

To use this tool, you will have to be on the editing page/dashboard.

Scroll to the bottom of the main toolbar on the left-hand side of your screen and select more and you will find the draw application there.

Custom website custom domain feature

The latest feature that Canva introduced to its wide range of tools is the ability to add a custom domain to a Canva website.

You Can either publish the website with purchase a domain through Canva itself or assign a domain you already own to the website. Here's a short tutorial on how you can add the custom domain.

Dark Mode

So, The latest addition to this list is the dark mode feature that comes with Canva. I have no idea if this feature has always been there or was added recently. But, I really felt glad that I found it. Switching to the dark mode is really helping me a lot with my eyes.

Here's where you can find it:

From the Canva home dashboard go to the account section where the profile picture is located and select more.
Advertisements
Click the account settings button. This will lead you to your account dashboard.

Now, you just have to scroll down to the section where you'll find the dark mode option with the other two options.

Click dark mode and you're done. Now start designing while not putting some extra burden on your eyes.

Closing note

I tried covering most of the main features that Canva provides but if you think I've left something out, or you would like me to add some other topics on Canva, let me know in the comments.

Best practices checklist

Stand out with an effective headline

User testing has shown that this is the most important part of the flyer. Headlines should:

Catch the attention of your target audience. If your flyer is hanging on a wall among dozens of others, what would make it stand out?

Avoid generic language such as, "Research study seeking participants"

Clearly state the purpose of the research study. For example: "Is your current antidepressant not helping your mood?" "Do you have asthma?" "Have you given birth in the past 6 months?"

Include mandatory IRB details

The templates include room for the mandatory details as designated by the IRB:

Condensed study title

Purpose of the study

Protocol summary

Basic eligibility criteria

Study site location(s)

How to contact the study site for more information

Include these mandatory details in as succinct a fashion as possible (see example templates). By including these details, you ensure individuals are contacting you because (1) they qualify for the study and (2) they have enough information to make an informed decision about deciding to participate. This saves time for both the researcher and the potential participant.

Tailor your message to your audience

Keep it simple and concise. Many people find it difficult to retain a lot of written information.

You can use these tools to help write participant-friendly recruitment messages:

Select an engaging image

Photos and images can draw more interest from potential participants. Make sure images are:

Relevant to your study and represent your target audience (e.g., includes older adults if recruiting for an aging study)

High-quality (i.e., large file size that will display well, not pixelated, in print). Image should be at least 600 x 600 pixels.

Yours to use on the flyer (i.e. you created the image and have permission from photo subjects, or you have rights to use a photo that you did not take, and you properly credit the image according to terms of use)

You can find FREE stock photos on these websites:

Format your content

Format matters, especially to readability: The text boxes within the templates are sized for maximum effectiveness. Keep it simple and concise!

Having trouble fitting all of your information on the flyer? Try condensing the content.

Use bulleted lists to break up content and optimize readability

Do not adjust the margins to fit more content

Do not decrease the font below 10 points

When do you use the UF brand vs. the UF Health brand? That depends. UF Health brand and logo
UF brand and logo

Use if you are funded by a college, university-designated center or institute

You will need to use the UF specific templates.

See guidelines for UF logo use on the UF Brand Center site

Do not clutter your flyer with multiple logos. If you are a part of the College of Medicine, use the main UF logo and type "College of Medicine" in plain text on the flyer (example below)
