Canva is rocking my world lately! The amount of fun and productive designing I’ve been doing blows my mind. If you’re curious about what I’ve been creating, you can check out my latest designs in my portfolio linked at the end.
But for now, let’s talk about the top four tools I absolutely love on Canva Pro.
Magic Grab
This tool is a game-changer for working with photos. With Magic Grab, you can easily isolate the subject of an image, move it around, resize it, or even place it into a completely different design. It’s perfect for creating dynamic layouts or giving your designs a fresh look without needing advanced editing skills.
- It lets you reposition subjects to create more space for text or other elements.
- You can isolate shapes and drop them into new designs effortlessly.
- It’s fast and intuitive which is ideal for quick edits or creative experimentation.
Whether you’re adjusting compositions or creating something entirely new, this tool makes it easy to get creative with your designs.
Background Remover
This tool is magic (literally). With one click, you can remove the background from any image and get a clean cutout ready to use in your designs. Whether it’s product photos or layered graphics, this feature makes everything look polished without needing expensive editing software.
- It’s quick and effective, thankfully no Photoshop needed.
- Perfect for creating transparent PNGs or isolating subjects in photos.
- Makes everything look professional with minimal effort.
I’ve used this for headshots, product mockups, and for fixing mistakes in some of my art pieces. It’s simple but so powerful!
Brand Kit
Consistency is everything when it comes to branding, and Canva Pro’s Brand Kit makes it ridiculously easy to stay on-brand. You can upload your logos, set your brand colors, and choose your fonts; all in one place. Then, you can apply them to any design with just one click.
- No more hunting down hex codes or font names every time I start a new project.
- Saves time when creating branded materials like presentations or social posts.
- Keeps everything looking cohesive and professional without extra effort.
I use this all the time for client projects. It’s such a simple way to make sure everything aligns with their branding while still being quick and easy for me to work with.
Accessibility Checker
Designing isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s also about ensuring your work is accessible to everyone. Canva Pro’s Accessibility Checker helps you identify potential issues in your designs that could make them difficult for disabled folks to interactive with.
- Highlights color contrast issues to ensure readability for those with visual impairments.
- Flags font sizes that might be too small for accessibility standards.
- Encourages inclusive design practices by making accessibility part of the workflow.
It’s an easy way to make sure my work is inclusive and reaches as many people as possible.
Final Thoughts
Canva Pro has seriously leveled up my design process. Tools like Magic Resize, Background Remover, and Brand Kit make designing faster, easier, and honestly way more fun. If you haven’t tried Canva Pro yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot!
