How Do You Make an Animation on Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 1:00 pm

There are a few different ways that you can make an animation on Canva. One way is to use the built-in animation tool. Another way is to use a GIF maker.

The built-in animation tool is located in the “Advanced” section of the editor. To access it, click on the “Animation” button in the editor toolbar. This will open up a new window with a timeline at the bottom.

To create an animation, you first need to add some images to the timeline. To do this, click on the “Add Image” button in the bottom left corner of the window.

This will open up your computer’s file explorer so that you can select an image from your computer. Once you’ve selected an image, it will appear in the timeline.

You can then add more images to the timeline and rearrange them by dragging and dropping. To animate an image, click on it in the timeline and then click on the “Animate” button in the top right corner of the window. This will open up a new menu with a number of different animation options.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great platform for creating graphics, but it is not intended for animation. If you try to create an animation on Canva, you may encounter glitches and your project may not turn out the way you intended.

Once you’ve selected an animation, you can change its settings by clicking on the “Settings” button in the top right corner of the window. This will open up a new window with options for things like duration, delay, and looping.

When you’re happy with your animation, click on the “Export” button in the bottom right corner of the window and select “GIF.” This will download your animation as a GIF file which you can then share with others or use on your website or blog.

The other way that you can make an animation on Canva is by using a GIF maker. GIF makers are online tools that allow you to upload images and create GIFs from them.

To find a GIF maker, you can do a quick search online or look through Canva’s library of built-in tools. Once you’ve found a GIF maker that you like, upload your images and follow the instructions to create your GIF.

When you’re done, download your GIF and share it with others or use it on your website or blog!
