Countdown timers are a great way to create a sense of urgency and encourage people to take action on your website. You can use them to promote products, events, or even just to count down the days until something special happens.

But what if you want to use a countdown timer on your Canva designs? Can you do it?

The short answer is yes, you can add a countdown timer to your Canva designs! Here’s how:

PRO TIP: Please be aware that adding a countdown timer to Canva may result in unexpected behavior and may not work as intended. Use at your own risk.
  1. Create a new design: Go to canva.com and create a new design. You can choose any template or start from scratch.
  2. Add the countdown timer: Click on the “Elements” tab in the left-hand sidebar and then scroll down until you see the “Countdown Timer” element.

    Drag and drop it onto your design.

  3. Customize the timer: Double-click on the countdown timer element and a pop-up window will appear. Here you can change the date, time, and time zone for when the countdown ends. You can also choose whether to display the days, hours, minutes, and/or seconds remaining.
  4. Download or share your design: When you’re happy with your design, click the “Download” button in the top-right corner or share your design directly to social media.

Conclusion:

So there you have it! You can easily add a countdown timer to your Canva designs using the built-in element.

Just remember to customize the timer so it ends when you want it to. And don’t forget to download or share your design when you’re done.
