How Do I Get Moving Elements in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 6:42 pm

There are a few different ways that you can get moving elements in Canva. One way is to use the built in tools that are available in the program. Another way is to use some code to create your own animation.

The built in tools that are available in Canva are pretty simple to use and they don’t require any knowledge of code. You can add animations to any element on your design simply by selecting it and then choosing the “animate” option from the top menu. This will bring up a list of different animations that you can apply to your element.

If you want more control over the animation, or if you want to create your own custom animation, then you will need to use code. The Canva website has a good tutorial on how to do this.

Basically, you will need to create a separate “animation” layer on top of your design layer. Then, you can use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create your animation.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, you can easily accidentally move elements in Canva. Be sure to hold down the shift key while you click and drag on an element to keep it in place.

Whether you use the built-in tools or code to create your animation, it’s important to keep a few things in mind. First, make sure that the animation is not too distracting or overwhelming.

It should complement your design, not take away from it. Second, keep the animation simple. Too much movement can be confusing and hard to follow.

With a little bit of experimentation, you should be able to find the perfect balance of movement and design for your project. So get creative and have fun!

Creating moving elements in Canva is a great way to add some life and personality to your designs. Whether you use the built-in tools or code your own animations, just make sure that they enhance your design rather than overwhelm it. With a little bit of experimentation, you’ll be able to find the perfect balance for your project.
