How to Make a Book Report With Canva

Introduction: How to Make a Book Report With Canva

Presentations are common assignments given in high school English classes which makes knowing how to properly construct one very important. Canva is a site that makes doing these presentations and reports very easy and appealing. I’ve used Canva for various classes during my college education where I learned how to utilize all the elements offered to me such as creating presentations with ease. I first learned how to use it in my English class senior year of high school; I instantly fell in love with the easy to access templates and guides. As a student and a future teacher Canva is something I will continue to use and have my students use in the classroom for their own presentations. Advantages to using Canva are the never ending presentation themes to pick from along with being available for more than just presentations. Canva can be used for documents, collages, presentations, and so much more.

Canva 101: How to Use Canva as a Book Influencer

To help NetGalley members create strong platforms for sharing their book reviews, we’ve rounded up tips for starting a blog , Bookstagram , Booktube , and BookTok channel. Most of these posts mention the free resource Canva as an option for creating images, and members have been wanting to know more about how to best use Canva. Here we’ll go over some ways that you can use Canva to share book reviews, create templates for other readers, and brighten up your social media feeds. (Psst: This post isn’t sponsored by Canva, we’re just fans of the tool and want to share the love!)

What is Canva?

Canva is a graphic design platform. You can sign up with a free account, and they also have a paid program that offers even more tools and assets. For book influencers, I’d recommend the free account!

When you log onto the Canva homepage, you’ll find options for creating new projects with pre-set dimensions, such as an Instagram story or a X header. Use these to ensure that anything you design is the perfect fit for the platform you’re uploading it to.

You can watch their Tutorials and Courses to learn even more about using Canva!

Adding book covers to device images In the past, I shared tips on how to add book covers to ereaders . A few members wanted a closer look at the process I use in Canva, so let’s dive in! From the Canva homepage, I click the Instagram Post option under the Recommended tab—or find it by typing Instagram into the search bar. 

To make your picture look more seamless and natural, it’s best to mimic how a cover actually looks on your ereader. On my device there’s a black bar at the top and bottom of the cover. 

Whenever possible, I screenshot the cover on my iPhone to ensure that the dimensions are a perfect fit when I transfer them to my ereader. Not everyone is able to screenshot covers on their reading device, so I’ll show you here how I add covers that I didn’t screenshot.

In the Canva design you’ve started, drag and drop your photo so that it fills the entire square. Then add the book cover. 

To create the illusion of the cover being on an ereader, go to the elements tab in the sidebar and type the word ‘rectangle’ into the search bar. Add the first search result to your design. Yours will be black, but I’ll make mine purple so it’s easier to see.

Start by fitting the rectangle onto your ereader. You can adjust the height, width, and rotate until you’re happy with its placement. 

Then straighten the rectangle so its parallel to the book cover. Place the book cover over the rectangle (you may need to click Position in the menu bar and move the book cover to the front) and resize until it fits within the width. The top and bottom of the rectangle should be visible and equal in size. I’ve made the design larger here for you to see.

Use your mouse to select both the book cover and the rectangle behind it. In the menu bar, hit Group. This allows you to move, rotate, and resize them together. From there, move the images to your ereader screen and adjust until you’re happy with the result!

Download your image and upload to social media!

Instagram Photos Bookstagrammers are using tools like Canva to create sharable eye-catching recommendation lists such as talk_about_swoon’s pairing of movies with romance novels and Bookstagramrepresent’s post of diverse debut novels .

You can create your own design from scratch or use Canva’s pre-made templates to get you started. I used one of Canva’s Instagram templates to inspire this scrapbook-style design featuring some of our team’s most recent staff reads.

You can use this style of post to roundup books that you recommend, or to showcase books you’ve included in a longer article that’s linked in your profile.

Instagram Stories Your Instagram posts aren’t the only places to share book reviews. You can also use Canva to create your own custom review templates. Here’s one I made for NetGalley reviews that includes a space for a short review, star rating, GIF reaction, book cover, and a place to thank the publisher for the ARC! Feel free to use it:

Canva also has excellent templates to help you create Instagram stories that encourage engagement with your fellow readers. Here’s one I put together for NetGalley members to share GIF reactions of their NetGalley habits:

Thumbnails Canva is a great tool for Booktubers looking to make thumbnails, which are the images viewers see when scrolling through YouTube for something to watch. 

Current trends in Booktube thumbnails include: eye-catching colors, text that hooks viewers, and a picture of the Booktuber. Using Canva’s YouTube Thumbnail design specs, I added a library background from their Photos catalog. Then I clicked Effects in the top menu and used Duotone to create the color I wanted. From there I added the text that I wanted, playing around with different fonts and font effects until I was happy.

My last step was to add a picture of myself! In the paid version of Canva, you can remove the background from photos after you upload them to your Canva library, which is what I did here. But there are also free websites that offer the same feature! 

Banners As you can see from the examples above, Canva makes it easy to design any number of graphics that can be used on book blogs. You can create artwork for blog posts, or even a banner for the top of your blog like I did here:

Using a macaron cookie outline I found in the Elements tab on the sidebar, and Effects for a font that I liked, I was able to create a simple but clear header for my (imaginary) blog. I kept things simple with the blog’s title and a subheader to further explain the blog’s theme. You could also add a picture of yourself or more design elements!

25 Free Canva templates to use in your classroom

1) Book report

Reading is so important, not only for relaxation but also for language and reading development. Apart from reading the book, students also need to understand it. This book report template can help with that. Share this template with your students so they can fill it in every time they finish reading a book. This way, they will also practice their reading comprehension.

💡 Digital tip: There are many ways to let your students fill in a book report. For example, this whiteboard activity about a bookworm. Your students can write down their answers to the questions in this bookworm. Check out this blog post about creative and digital book report ideas to discover more and to learn how you can create these activities yourself.

2) Reading log

When children start learning to read 📚, it is important that they do this on a regular basis. It can help them if parents fill in this reading log template for their child. Both child and parent will be motivated to read because you know that the other students will do their best as well. And as a teacher, you get an overview of how much your students read.

3) Mental arithmetic

Even for math, Canva has templates. This math template is for your students who need to practice additions and subtractions. The challenge is to complete as many questions as they can in 3 minutes.

4) Multiplication board

Practicing multiplication with your students? Print this multiplication board template to let them play a game. While playing, they won’t only have fun but will also learn their multiplication together with friends.

5) Mind map

Introduce your students to the use of mind maps. For example, in this mind map template , the main idea is ‘job hunting.’ If you teach about this topic, you could make a mind map with your students to summarize the class. It will help them to review when they have an upcoming assessment 📝. Another possibility is to let each of your students brainstorm about the topic. This way they will think about the topic and use their own knowledge. Then, when everyone is ready, you can discuss which words must be on the mind map and explain why.

💡 Digital tip: Let your students complete a digital mind map. For example, this mind map activity is for learning to associate words. The purpose is to let your students think about a specific word. In a digital mind map your students can rearrange all the balloons so they always have a place to add a balloon somewhere. Just like that, the mind map will always remain clear. Are you looking for more ideas? Check out this blog post to bring more structure to your student’s thinking.

6) Coloring pages

Learning to read as a child can be hard, and not everyone likes it. With this coloring book template children will practice their reading skills during a fun activity. They won’t think about it like practice time. While coloring pages, they will begin to associate the words with the shapes on the page.

7) Word search

Time to teach your students a new theme? Introduce them with a word search puzzle 🔎. This template is one of the many templates Canva provides. A word search helps students become better at word letter recognition and spelling as they actively look for letters that form words.

💡 Digital tip: Did you know that you can create a digital word search with BookWidgets? Here is a word search example activity about ski equipment, describing the words they should search for.

Discover more in this blog post and learn everything about creating interactive word search puzzles.

Looking for a fun activity? Try this bingo activity, by using the autumn themed bingo template . The purpose of this template is that students try to link the description to the word. You, as a teacher, will read the description of some words. The students will have to guess which word you are talking about. While playing this game, students also start to associate these words with the season. Are you looking for another theme? No problem! These templates are easy to change so that it will save you time!

💡 Digital tip: One of the advantages of creating a digital bingo widget with BookWidgets is that you don’t need to worry about making multiple cards. Your students will automatically receive a different card. In this example , you can test your students to see if they can read the clock correctely. You give them a time (just say it out loud). This is not the only way of using bingo in your classroom! Check out this blog post to discover more creative and fun ways for your lessons.

This template contains transportation vehicles cards 🎴. Right now there is a graphic on it and the name of the vehicle. If you want to see if the students recognize the vehicle, you can remove the name from the template. You can print these cards and your students can write down the names of the vehicles on them. Another way of using them is by playing a card game.

10) Digital panel comic strip

Since we live in the digital era, students also have to learn how to work on computers or tablets. Share this panel comic strip template with your students. Let them create a comic strip on their laptop. While using this template they practice their digital skills, but also their creativity and writing skills. When you open this template you will see that they give you many graphic options. There are animals in different positions, many face options, and even some icons that your students can use.

💡 Tip: You can print this template if not everyone has a laptop. Let them cut out the graphics and stick them on the paper or let them draw these graphics. Afterward, they can write down the text in the text balloons.

11) Class introduction

An overview at the start of the year is helpful for your students. Using Classroom presentation templates can you help you with this. In this presentation , you can tell more about yourself, the lessons that will be covered, the requirements, the goals, and how you will evaluate them. When you share this presentation with your students, they will be able to look back any time they have a question about the rules or purposes of your class. This way, there won’t be discussions about whether you shared this information with them or not.

💡 Tip: Having this presentation ready is also great when new students arrive to class. This way you are organized and ready to help them jump in and learn.

12) Group project

Let your students create a presentation for their group project with Canva. They can look for ideas in the available templates, and if they’re creative enough they can start from scratch. It is a fun addition to the group project. When everyone finishes their presentation, they can present it in front of the class for their fellow students and you. Students can work on their creative and presentation skills. This is one of the many templates Canva makes available to everyone.

13) A book report presentation

There are many ways to present a book report, including a presentation. Canva made this beautiful presentation template about a novel. It can give your students ideas for when they are creating their presentations. Or they can use this template but change the information so it will fit their book.

14) Infographic

An infographic is a collection of imagery, data visualizations, and minimal text. There are multiple ways to use an infographic. You can use it as an overview of a topic but also show your students the instructions from an assignment. In this example, they’ve used an infographic to give an overview of the ‘circular economy.’ Students only need to read this once and they will know the most important parts of this economy. You can find the template here .

15) Class schedule

Start the school week with an overview of the topics you will discuss. This will help students who need extra structure, and it will help you as a teacher as well. When your schedule is ready for the week, you don’t need to stress about what topics you will have to discuss the next day. You can choose to print the schedule and hang it in the classroom or display it online each day when class starts. Here you can find one of the many lesson plan templates. Remember you can always adjust it to the way you love it.

16) Birthday calendar

You can use Canva to create a birthday calendar for your class 🎉. This way, no one’s birthday will be forgotten. You can use this calendar template or create one by yourself. This template is very simple, but just by using another color, you will have a completely different calendar.

17) Classroom rules video

Every year we have to tell the new students our classroom rules. Instead of just listing them, you can also show them in a fun way 🎞️. This video template shows the rules together with small graphics. You can change the rules or add rules and do the same for these graphics. Students will remember the rules much faster since they associate them with these graphics.

💡 Digital tip: Try to create a video quiz widget with BookWidgets! You can save your Canva video and upload it to your YouTube account for free. Now, create your video quiz widget on BookWidgets with that YouTube/ Canva video. This allows you to pause the video and ask questions at specifically chosen moments.

Learning to write/ create a resume is an essential career skill for students. They can start making one when you have told them everything about writing a resume. Let them go to Canva to search for a template they like to use to create their resume. They can always adjust the template if they don’t like something about it. Students will have a clear resume with their own personality in it. Now in the future, they will have their resume ready, and all they have to do is adjust their information. This is an example of a Canva resume.

19) Voting board

Time to choose a fun activity for the last school day? This voting board idea might help. Add some activity ideas to this whiteboard template, one of the many visual aids for teaching. When you have done that, you give each of your students a sticker or magnet. Ask them individually to come to the board and put their sticker or magnet by the activity they like. The one with the most votes wins. This is one of the whiteboard templates you can use for this idea. And yes, I know it doesn’t look like a school subject now, but you can completely adjust it, as I’ve have mentioned before. 😉

💡 Tip: The online whiteboards from Canva are fun and interactive! It lets you share, post, and draw anything that pops in your mind with your class simultaneously! Share this whiteboard with your students after you have adjusted it and let them vote. Are you looking for more ideas with Online Whiteboards? Make sure to check out this page !

20) Progress board

When you see this template , you may not know how to use it. That was my first thought as well, but then I came up with an idea! You can use this when you give your students assignments, and you want to know their progress and self-regulate their learning. On top, you can write down the title of your assignment. And instead of writing down “stop”, “start” and “continue”, you will write “start”, in “progress” and “finished”. You can project this on the whiteboard and let them write their name, or print it out for your students individually, so they can “track” the tasks they are working on in the different stages. Or when you’re doing some bigger cross-curricular projects, this template might come in handy too.

💡 Tip: It is possible to share this whiteboard template with your students. Now they can write their name in the column where they stand with their assignment and you can follow them up.

21) Checklist

We all know that one student who forgets to bring something to a field trip. Usually, they use the same excuses that they didn’t have it or that they forgot it. Well, not anymore! Use this template to create a checklist for your field trip. Print it and give it to your students. Now they have time to see if they have everything or if they have to buy something before you leave for the field trip. And yes, the picture below is a list of activities to do during the summer, but remember, it is easy to adjust. 😉

💡 Digital tip: Make a digital checklist widget with BookWidgets. So there will be no excuses that they have lost your checklist 😉. For example, do your students need to create an account on Canva? Then this checklist widget can help them come up with a secure password.

22) Classroom newsletter

All parents love to know what their children are going to do in school. With this classroom newsletter template 📰 you can give parents reminders when their child needs to bring something to school. You can write down a small story about last week. There is also a part provided to write down to do’s and events. You can still switch this part to something else when you have nothing to write down here. For example, you can add pictures from the students during an activity.

23) Classroom community rules

Do you want a little reminder in your classroom about the rules? Then this poster template can be perfect for you! All you have to do is change these rules into your 5 most important rules. Just by doing this, your template is ready. If you want, you can change the style from this template so it will fit your classroom better.

💡 Digital tip: Use a classroom community rules poster and make it interactive. This activity is a really good example of an interactive classroom rules poster. The background of this widget has been made with Canva. Use the hotspot image widget from BookWidgets to make it more interactive. Are you looking for more ideas to introduce and explain your classroom rules in a fun and interactive way? Check out this blog post .

24) Posters for in your classroom

Are you looking for classroom design ideas? On Canva, you can create posters to hang on the classroom wall. This template shows you 5 simple tips to go outside more each day. It will make your class more pleasant, and your students can learn something from it. In this case, they will use these tips to go outside without thinking about it. Even more important…a lot of posters on your classroom walls will be about spreading knowledge.

💡 Tip: Did you know that Canva also offers printing?

When I was young, my French teacher gave us these little cards with French quotes. She wanted to inspire us, and at the same time, we were learning some French by reading and trying to understand the quotes. It helped me to stay motivated for my French classes. Canva has many templates available with quotes. Here you can see one of the templates.

I can already hear you thinking, ‘What do you mean by using Canva in the Hotspot Image widget.’ The idea is that you create your image on Canva. When you have that, you can bring your image to live with BookWidgets , more specifically, the hotspot image widget. For these ideas, you do need a BookWidgets account. BookWidgets is a content creation and evaluation too for teachers to create interactive lesson materials. Create nice visuals with Canva and make them more interactive with BookWidgets.

Here are some examples 👇

1) Surprise calendar

Have you already thought about ending the school week in a fun way, but you can’t come up with a way to do it? Then this example will help you! I used this calender template to make my calendar 📅. You can create your own version and download it. Then you can go to your BookWidgets account and create a Hotspot Image widget. Use the calendar image as the background for your Hotspot. From there on, you start adding hotspots. You can add a fun picture, an activity idea for the weekend, another widget they can do, and so on.

In this example, I chose to add a surprise for every Friday in April. So, when the students click on one of these Fridays, they will get a surprise depending on which date we are on.

Using a Hotspot Image Widget can also be a way to explain parts of your lesson. Choose a template for a resume on Canva. I am using this one . I changed the text by frames so students know what the previous layout looked like. Again, you must go to your BookWidgets account to create this example. You can use the resume that you downloaded as the background image. I have added hotspots, so when students click on them, they will receive information.

💡 Tip: You can share the Canva template you used with your students so they can fill in their resumes. However, make a copy, so they don’t fill in your template.

3) Board game

Are you looking for a game so that students can practice in your class? Then this is the idea for you! Search for board game templates, for this example I will use this template . You can adjust the board to your liking. If you are ready you can start creating a Hotspot Image widget to make the game more fun. In this example, I’ve used some fun games to do, but you can choose what kind of information or activities you want to use. 🎲

💡 Tip: Is it your first time creating a Hotspot Image widget? Then this tutorial will be helpful.

Now that I’ve introduced you to the Canva templates you can get started using them. It may be trial and error, but that’s how we learn. You can do this! 💪

I am curious how you will use Canva for education! I can’t wait to see what you will design with these Canva templates. Or maybe you will create a design from scratch? Let us know on Twitter !

Canva Templates To Kick Off the School Year

1. all about me.

Use Yves Hart’s template: All About Me Shoe Design Worksheet

Alternate template: All About Me Hat Logo Design Worksheet

2. Class Syllabus

Amy Elliott, an eighth grade teacher from California, Missouri, shares, “My district requires every class to have a syllabus, but I’ve yet to meet a middle schooler who reads them until I started using this design. It’s more eye-catching than its bare-bones cousin and the template encourages concision.”

Use Amy Elliott’s template: Course Syllabus

3. Meet the Teacher

Elliott also recommends using a “meet the teacher” Canva template. She shares it at open house night to introduce herself to students and their families. “It’s quick to prepare and helps break the ice as well as starts rapport building by being the first to put myself out there.”

Use Dani Quintana’s template: Meet the Teacher Template – Beige

Alternate templates: Meet the Teacher Templates

4. Would You Rather

Rozanne Rosenberg, curriculum developer, editor, and resource creator on Instagram and TpT from New Jersey, shares, “I love this Would You Rather activity to kick off the school year. Rather than asking students to choose between two random things, this activity centers around learning styles and preferences with questions like ‘Would you rather spend an hour reading or spend an hour solving a math problem?’ I would print each set of questions and mount them around the room, then have students walk around silently and place a dot sticker in the column with their preference. We’d come back together and discuss the data as a class and notice any patterns. You could also turn it into a graphing lesson! Most years, I would repeat the activity with families on Back to School Night. Then I would show my students how their grown-ups’ results were similar to or different from theirs!”

Use Rozanne Rosenberg’s template: Would You Rather

5. Exploring Identity

Blogging Tips :: How to Use the Canva Whiteboard

This post may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase with one of these links, I recieve a small commission at no additional cost to you. Read the full Affiliate Policy .

Canva introduces a new feature: the Whiteboard

I don’t know about you, but I am consistently and constantly impressed by Canva . The Australian-based graphic design platform is always upgrading and improving, adding epic features and functions. I’m always amazed at even the small tweaks they make to ensure their platform is user-friendly and functional. The Canva Whiteboard feature is no different.

It wasn’t long ago that I was minding my own business on Canva, creating graphics for my Instagram or Pinterest pins when I saw it: the new Canva Whiteboard feature. Just sitting there. Also minding its own business.

I clicked it. And gasped.

The Canva Whiteboard is a brilliant new tool and there are so many possibilities for using it for your blog, business, studies, and work. In this blog post, we’re going to take a look at the Canva Whiteboard and how to use it, and I’m going to offer up some ideas as to how you might use it for your various graphic design needs.

What is the Canva Whiteboard?

The Canva Whiteboard is a new (August 2022) feature in the graphic design programme that allows you to create a mind map, brainstorm, flow charts and more. Imagine a giant whiteboard … and now put that in digital form. That’s what the Canva Whiteboard is.

How does Canva’s Whiteboard work?

When you first open up a new Canva Whiteboard file, you’ll be greeted with a full-screen white space. This is the space that you’re going to use as your whiteboard. You can zoom in and out of the space, meaning it can be as big or as small as you need it to be for your project.

You can add elements, images, links, videos, and audio … just like you could any other design on Canva. Turning it into a collaboration is another great feature, which we’ll get to in a moment.

How do you use a whiteboard in Canva?

Open up a blank Canva Whiteboard file or use one of the MANY templates to get started. Now the world is your oyster!

Insert elements such as rectangles to create text boxes, arrows to indicate a flow or next point, lines and shapes to move from one idea to the next, and insert images for inspiration or clarification.

Use the zoom buttons to move in and out of the different areas of your whiteboard (or the scroll wheel on your mouse!), and the left to right arrows to move along, just like you would any other design.

The biggest thing to remember when it comes to using the whiteboard on Canva is that there are no edges. You’re not constrained by a Banner size or an Instagram Story 9:16 ratio. You can literally zoom in and out and continue all the way to the side, go up and go down. It means that you can collate information and ideas all in one handy place.

Using Canva Whiteboard as a Team

The Canva Whiteboard is perfect for team brainstorming. Open up a new Whiteboard and let your team add ideas to the board, insert comments, add suggestions, and more. It’s a brilliant collaborative space to let the creativity flow. Much better than a boring ol’ shared Google Doc or other word-processing platforms.

Canva Whiteboard is productive AND fun. 🎉🥳

Adding your Whiteboard to a Canva Presentation

Canva’s features and functions work so well with each other, and the addition of the Whiteboard hasn’t changed that.

As well as creating, sharing, and downloading your Whiteboard, you can quickly change it to a presentation, or vice versa, and turn a presentation into a whiteboard so that you can engage your audience and get them to interact with your content.

Whiteboard templates on Canva

Like all designs on Canva, there are a bunch of templates to get you started. Canva templates are great if you know you want to, for example, create an email sequence plan, but aren’t really sure the best way to lay it out. With a template, you can easily take what you need from the template and leave the rest.

Canva has created over 140 Whiteboard templates for you to use, and I’m sure there will be more in the future. You can check out the full range of templates for Whiteboards here .

12 Ways to use the Canva Whiteboard

Individual brainstorming, team brainstorming, mind-mapping.

• Essay plans

Programme or Course Planning

Event planning, study notes, website layout designs, minuting meetings, email sequences, diagram creation.

I don’t know about you but I LOVE  good brainstorm. Whether that be brainstorming blog post ideas, course ideas, jotting down all the things I want to do in a country if I’m planning a trip … anything!

Brainstorming is like a more creative way to list, and I’m a big lister. If you’re anything like me then this is definitely a goer!

We’ve already talked about using the whiteboard as a team, but this is going to be so handy if you’re in need of a collaborative online space where people can input their ideas, comment on others’ ideas, add suggestions, images, links and videos.

There is a lot of scope for some great teamwork here!

One of my friend’s dads is a brilliant mind-mapper.

If you’re not familiar, mind-mapping is a way to visually organise information into a hierarchy, and show relationships between pieces of content or ideas. Often it’s used as a way to map out speeches and ideas, focussing on a central theme, topic or concept.

Using the Whiteboard function on Canva is a perfect place to create a mind-map.

Essay Plans

I have to admit I never really planned out my essays when I was in high school and University. I sort of just went with the flow and hoped for the best (did I pass everything? Sure did. Was I a very good student? Ahhmmm debatable).

Perhaps if I had a tool like Canva and the whiteboard then I may have made the most of it for planning essays. Or maybe it would have just distracted me by being super fun and pretty to use. Who knows.

Whether you opt for a flow-chart type system or a mind-map like we spoke about above, there is a lot of potential to create really solid essay plans using this tool. You just need to figure out what ways are going to be best for you and what you need to achieve.

For planning out Blogging With Confidence , I used an actual IRL whiteboard. This is great and super helping for planning a course but being able to see everything in one place.

But it did mean I could only do it when I was at home with my whiteboard. Being able to use the Canva feature to have a whiteboard ‘on the go’, as it were, would have been really helpful. Then, when I was out and about and had a great idea, I could quickly add it to my course whiteboard and it would update and save.

It’s not just courses I plan! I’m a big lover of events, and there’s something quite satisfying about planning an event and seeing it all come together in the end.

Having an online space like the Whiteboard on Canva is a brilliant way to plan events, especially if it’s collaborative. Whether you need to add things such as caterers, decor, who is giving speeches, or location planning … there is plenty of room to keep all your event plans in one handy place.

When I was in high school and university my notes were  colourful.

I drew all over large pieces of paper and created brainstorms and mind-maps for my exam study and it was really helpful as I’m a visual learner. I could take a snapshot in my mind of the notes I had written, then pop into the exam and remember (for the most part) what I had written down.

Using the whiteboard in this way is another great way to utilise this new Canva feature. While physically writing things down is going to help you remember them better, it’s still a great way to carry your notes around with you and be able to add to them quickly and do some revision on the go.

Or you can create your notes and print them out!

Whenever I’m creating a new page on my website or over on Learn , I like to plan it out in sections.

The header, main hook or introductions, the details, images, buttons etc. It’s really helpful to be able to plan and design (even in draft form!) website pages in Canva. Having the Whiteboard is going to make it even easier!

Say goodbye to boring meeting minutes! If you’ve got the Canva App on your tablet you could even use the Canva Draw Tool and take minutes and notes from meetings on the whiteboard.

While you may need to write them up ‘correctly’ if your boss or meeting chair needs the minutes in text format if you’re a visual person and you take better notes that way, this is a great option for you.

As a business owner or blogger, you hopefully have an email list . One of the great things about having an email list is that you can set people up to receive a series of emails, where you can promote your business or blog to them.

But email sequences take planning and sometimes that gets a bit complicated if you have different tracks you want to lead people down. Using the whiteboard on Canva is a great option for planning out the flow of an email sequence, adding If-Then conditions, arrows to indicate which emails should be sent next, including things such as Unsubscribe actions or adding people to a different group etc.

Laying everything on in a handy sequence on Canva allows you to see any gaps or flaws in your flow, or quickly rearrange what you want to send people.

You can already create diagrams on Canva, but having a bigger space that you can easily add to without resizing the canvas you’re working on is a real bonus.

Whether you’re creating flowcharts, infographics, a series of charts, or completely designing something custom using elements and shapes, the new feature will help you design and create diagrams.

This may seem like an odd one to include, but there are some really neat voting templates already on Canva for the whiteboard.

You could use this as a flat (with your roommates) to vote on certain household items (like the plants in the template image), or for activities on a travel holiday or vacation, or even for things such as social clubs at work.

Think outside the box and see what you can come up with!

Does Canva have a whiteboard?

Yes, Canva has a Whiteboard function. You can use this feature to brainstorm ideas, create team workspaces, and plan out whatever it is you need to plan.

What is the Whiteboard on Canva for?

The Canva Whiteboard is for planning, brainstorming, taking minutes, making notes, and whatever else you need it to do! It’s very versatile and you could use it for pretty much anything!

How much does the Canva’s Whiteboard cost?

Whiteboard comes free with Free Canva and Canva Pro. There are Free and Pro templates that you can use, too. If you’re looking to sign up to a Canva Pro account, prices start at just $19.99 NZD per month.

So what do you think? Will you be using the Canva Whiteboard for projects? Let me know in the comments!

How to Create Presentations in Canva

Parth Shah is an evergreen freelance writer covering how-tos, app guides, comparisons, listicles, and troubleshooting guides on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and smart TV platforms. 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.

Animated Flip Graphics | How to Make a Flipbook in Canva

July 16, 2020 by Simplifying DIY Design 4 Comments

Last updated on February 1st, 2024

Animated flip graphics, also known as flipbooks or even GIFs, are so popular and easy to make. Learn to create attention-grabbing animated flip graphics using Canva to promote your lead magnets and digital products!

Want a FREE, no-fluff crash course on how to use Canva as a blogger? Enroll in our self-paced  Canva 2.0 Quick Start  NOW to dive in!

To alleviate any confusion right from the get-go, animated flip graphics have a couple of different names. You may have heard the term flipbook or even GIF.

Thankfully, it’s all the same thing, technically.

What makes animated flip graphics and flipbooks a bit different than GIFs is that it’s meant to mimic the flipping of pages.

Here’s an animated flip graphic we created using a FREE design platform that took all of two minutes to make.

You can use animated flip graphics practically anywhere; Social media posts, sales pages, blog posts, and even Pinterest pins.

But that’s not even the best part.

You can create animated flip graphics for FREE right using Canva – no Canva Pro account needed.

However, there are a TON of benefits to upgrading to Canva Pro . Their selection of phone, tablet, and computer mockups is much more diverse on the Pro account.

See why we absolutely LOVE Canva Pro with a FREE 30-day trial . We have no doubt you’ll wonder how you went this long without it.

Alright, let’s log into Canva and create those animated flip graphics!

Table of Contents

• 1 STEP ONE: CREATE YOUR GRAPHIC
• 2 STEP TWO: DUPLICATE THE PAGE
• 3 STEP THREE: SWAP OUT THE PAGE ON EACH IMAGE
• 4 STEP FOUR: DOWNLOAD YOUR CANVA GIF
• 5 CANVA GIF TROUBLESHOOTING
• 6 GRAB ATTENTION WITH ANIMATED FLIP GRAPHICS
• 7 RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS POST:
• 8 TRY CANVA PRO FREE FOR 30 DAYS

STEP ONE: CREATE YOUR GRAPHIC

Our go-to sizes for animated flip graphics are 800x800px and 1080x1080px. We found they’re the most versatile for all areas of our business.

You’ll start by creating a graphic that shows off one page (or the cover) of your digital product . You can also use a template, of course.

If you’re shopping for Canva templates, we’ve got a TON to choose from in our shop .

Regardless of if you use a template or not, your design should be complete and show off your product in some way before moving to the next step.

• Start with a stock photo that has a blank iPad or computer already in the photo
• Use shapes and fun design elements for a bolder look
• Add shapes AND a stock photo mockup by using the ‘Background remover’ tool (shown below)

NOTE: The ‘Background remover’ tool, under the ‘Edit Image’ dropdown, is a Canva Pro feature

Related Post: How to Create a Product Mockup Template with Stock Photos

If using just shapes and design elements, add an iPad or e-reader device to show off pages from your ebook, workbook, worksheets, printables, etc., or you can use a computer screen.

It’s time to get creative!

STEP TWO: DUPLICATE THE PAGE

Again, it’s crucial to get that first image exactly how you want it because the following pages need to be an exact duplicate.

Duplicate the page as many times as you need by selecting the ‘Copy page’ option at the top right of your design.

STEP THREE: SWAP OUT THE PAGE ON EACH IMAGE

Each “page” of the design should be an exact copy except for the page featured on the image.

You can even replace pages with words like the example at the top of this post.

Once you have each page completed, it’ll look something like this:

Notice how each page is the same except for the image on the screen.

This is to give the appearance of flipping through your digital product.

What’s nice about animated flip graphics is that all the attention is on your product because everything else stays the same.

See? It’s no secret we’re obsessed with animated flip graphics!

STEP FOUR: DOWNLOAD YOUR CANVA GIF

Before we can download our Canva GIF, we need to set the time on each page, so it flips through at the perfect speed.

Canva’s set speed is 5.0 seconds per page which is a VERY long time for animated flip graphics.

Readers don’t realize it’s a GIF if it’s too slow. Plus, it gives someone ample time to read the page(s) for free instead of paying for it.

If it’s too fast, it’s pretty challenging to see what the product is even about!

We found that a speed of 1.0 second per page is a happy medium. Click the box ‘Apply to all pages’ to save some time.

It’s now time to download our Canva GIF!

Canva is testing out many different layouts at any given time. The ‘Download’ button may be aside from ‘Share’ or in the ‘Share’ dropdown.

Once you click ‘Download, select from the ‘File type’ dropdown to find the GIF option.

It may take a few minutes to download fully, depending on the file size.

Your completed animated flip graphic should look like this:

If you plan on adding your animated flip graphics to your blog or sales pages, we highly recommend compressing them first.

Just like images need compressing, animations do as well.

Head to EZ GIF and upload your animated flip graphic. Set the compression level you’d like using the slide bar and click ‘Optimize GIF!’ This will reduce the file size by around 30%.

A preview will appear below, along with the ‘Save’ button on the lower menu bar to the right.

Your new Canva-designed animated flip graphic is ready to go!

CANVA GIF TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Canva design is missing the timing adjustment (example shown earlier in this post), no worries! We noticed that some designs have it and some don’t.

There is a workaround inside Canva, but the step we’re about to show you is way faster.

Go to  EZ GIF Speed Changer  and upload your Canva GIF. You’ll then see your GIF on the page, and below it, you’ll be able to adjust the speed.

We chose 500% of the current speed for this animated flip graphic.

Once you click ‘Change speed!’, it’ll generate a preview directly below it.

Add or decrease the percentage until you get the desired speed you want.

Once that’s done, scroll below the preview and click the ‘Save’ icon. Your GIF should automatically download to your computer.

GRAB ATTENTION WITH ANIMATED FLIP GRAPHICS

Animated flip graphics are easy to make and won’t cost you a cent.

They make great ads on all social media platforms, images on a sales page, Pinterest pin promotions, and so much more.

Use animated flip graphics to promote your digital products and lead magnets and watch your subscriber base grow like crazy!

How Do I Turn My Canva Into a Book?

Have you ever wanted to turn your Canva design into a beautiful book? With just a few simple steps, you can transform your digital creation into a physical masterpiece. Whether it's a photo album, a portfolio, or a personal journal, this tutorial will guide you through the process.

Exporting Your Canva Design

The first step is to export your Canva design as an image file. To do this, open your design in Canva and click on the "Download" button located on the top right corner of the editor. Choose the file format you prefer, such as PNG or JPEG, and click on "Download" again.

Selecting the Right Printing Service

Once you have your design saved as an image file, it's time to find a printing service that suits your needs. There are numerous online platforms that offer book printing services. Some popular options include Blurb, Shutterfly, and Mixbook.

Visit their websites and explore their book printing options. Look for features like customizable covers, different paper types, and binding options to ensure that your book turns out exactly how you envision it.

Creating Your Book

After selecting a printing service, it's time to start creating your book. Sign up or log in to the platform of your choice and follow their instructions to create a new project.

Uploading Your Design

The first step in creating your book is uploading your Canva design. Look for an option like "Add Images" or "Upload Photos" and select the image file of your design from your computer.

Customizing Your Book

Once your design is uploaded, you can customize various aspects of your book. Some common customization options include:

• Cover: Choose whether you want a hardcover or softcover book. You can also personalize the cover with your own images and text.
• Paper Type: Select the type of paper you prefer, such as glossy or matte. Consider the purpose of your book and choose a paper type that complements your design.
• Layout: Decide how you want your design to be displayed in the book. You can choose single or double-sided pages, as well as the number of pages per spread.

Reviewing and Ordering

Once you're satisfied with your book's customization, take a moment to preview it. Make sure each page appears as expected and that there are no errors or inconsistencies.

If everything looks good, proceed to the ordering process. Follow the platform's instructions to finalize your order and provide your shipping details.

Receiving Your Book

After placing your order, all that's left is to wait for your book to arrive at your doorstep. The delivery time may vary depending on the printing service and shipping method you chose.

Once you receive your book, take a moment to admire the physical representation of your Canva design. Flip through its pages and appreciate the effort you put into creating it.

In Conclusion

Turning your Canva design into a book is an exciting process that allows you to bring your digital creation into the physical world. By exporting your design, selecting a printing service, customizing your book, and placing an order, you can transform your Canva masterpiece into a tangible keepsake.

So why wait? Start turning those stunning Canva designs into beautiful books today!

All about tables: creating accessible tables in MS Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and in Canvas

Tables can be a good way to communicate data trends in an accessible way. Try to avoid creating super complex tables as these are less understandable for people using screen readers. It can be beneficial to break complex tables into two or more simple table. To create accessible tables in your favorite application, look for the way to specify header cells, one of the essential features of an accessible table. An accessible table also should include a caption describing it or a heading about the table directly above it. Here are some descriptions of creating accessible tables in different apps: TOC

MS PowerPoint

Acrobat pdf.

• To create an accessible data table in MS Word go to ‘Insert’ > ‘Table’ and draw out the table’s rows and columns.

• Select the table and then click on the ‘Table Design’ widget. Enter the name of your header cells in the first row and make sure ‘Header Row’ is checked in the table Design settings.
• To create an accessible data table in MS PowerPoint go to ‘Insert’ > ‘Table’ and draw out the table’s rows and columns.
• A common issue with tables in PDFs is not having true table header cells. To fix you can go to the Tags panel and manually change the <TD> into <TH> for each header cell.
• Another issue with tables in PDFs is that the format cannot handle cells that span more than one column. So, You’ll need to redo your tables to have no merged or column spanning cells or else you’ll get an error in the accessibility checker. However, other formats like HTML can handle slightly more complex accessible tables. You can use HTML tables in Canvas course pags.
• To insert a table in a Canvas course pages, Edit a course page to get access to the table maker.
• Click on the arrow next to the table icon and then choose ‘Table’.
• Use the table tool to draw out your rows and columns.
• A limitation of the Canvas table maker is that you can’t specify true table header cell in the editor, so you’ll need to go the code view and change the normal <td> cells into <th> cells.

• The checker will also let you know if a table needs a caption and prompt you to add it. If the table has an H2 heading directly before it, then you don’t need a duplicate caption. Below is a screen showing the option to ad a caption to a table in the accessibility checker.
