I was just going to comment for you to create a video on Canva! Thank you so much! I am going to start a store soon and I am super excited to begin the journey.
Hi Becca! I just started my TPT. I am bingeing all of you videos! If I become successful someday I am going to tell everyone that I learned it all from you. Thank you! Anyway I have a question if you do not mind. I am on a beginners facebook group for TPT and I was told not use Canva because sellers are getting in trouble from individual artists. However, with quality Tik Tok and youtube channels like yours, that is not what the majority is saying! I am so upset. What do you think? Thank you for your response in this matter.
Well the short answer is that I schedule an hour every morning for working on blog, newsletters, videos, etc. And the rest of the time I am very intentional about how I spend my time so that I can get everything done! I am planning to make some videos that go a little more in depth. Let me know if you have specific questions!
When I tried the free Canva, there never seems to be the graphic that I want. Do you buy most of your clip art from others? Is it cheaper than buying a Canva Pro membership?
Hi Becca- I'm searching for information on using Canva for TPT video previews. I see in a comment that you said we can't use an Educator's version. What version is allowed for my purposes? I searched Canva and can't find info on this. Also, is the free music for the background ok to use without giving credit if I'm not selling it? I'd just use it in the preview video. Thanks!!!
I just started using Canva for Educators this past summer and finding it awesome for worksheets. Has it changed since you made your comment? Or is it just my styling works well (bold and simplistic without a lot of graphics)?
Hello, I have a question. I started using Canva as suggested by others after my jpeg and png thumbnails would upload fuzzy on tpt. But i am encountering the same problem. I'm so new to this i spent the whole day trying to mess with adjusting the sizes and i still can't get a break. I finally figured out that my jpeg will come out fine on preview. So for now i only have a cover picture that's fuzzy and a preview of my product. Please help!
thank you so much for this video! Question- can I use canvas pictures and designs for commercial resources? or should I always use my own paid backgrounds and clip art?
Hi Eva! I did not know the answer, but I did some digging. It looks like the terms allow for commercial use, and you do not even need to attribute to Canva, so you are free to use it! Here is the article where I fund the information in case you want to read more: about.canva.com/license-agreements/free-media/
Hi Nichol! That is due to the resolution. Play around with whether you make a JPEG or a PNG. Also, I find Canva has better resolution than saving powerpoints as pictures, which I know is a common way to make thumbnails.
I'm interested in this question too. I have a Canva for educators account and I read I couldn't use their images/graphics for commercial use, but if I had free Canva would I be able to?
Hi! I talk about it in this video. Education license is for EDUCATION ONLY which means only for your kids at your school. You cannot use it in your business. You can use the free version or the paid version. th-cam.com/video/iqxO-_9h6TM/w-d-xo.html
I don't think people will pass over the resource if it's rectangular, but it looks a bit weird when all the other ones look square, so I would make sure they are square
This was very helpful! Now my TPT store looks professional. Thank you so much!

Awesome! Canva tutorials are definitely my most requested videos! Let me know what else you'd like to see!
Thank you for sharing. Can you do a tutorial on how to upload the products on TPT?
Thank you for sharing this. I've been using Canva for years, but I don't feel like I've unlocked it's full potential.
Glad it was helpful! There's even more I have still not uncovered, but I'm working on it.
I love your page. I'm a new TpT store owner and I use Canva Pro for everything. THANK YOU.
Same! I love Canva! And I have the app, which is so great for quick graphics on Instagram or Pinterest.

Where do you find the time to teach, make TH-cam videos, blog, Pinterest and make TpT products?
Well the short answer is that I schedule an hour every morning for working on blog, newsletters, videos, etc. And the rest of the time I am very intentional about how I spend my time so that I can get everything done!

@@BeccaDavis how do u create your schedule I struggle with that

Becca, do you use the free Canva subscription or the educator subscription? Thanks for your videos!
I just started paying for it after using the free version for four years. Like every week for five years. You CANNOT use the educator version for TPT.
I love canva for covers. Terrible for worksheets. But how do you get those wonderful pastel fonts?! Thanks
I agree completely! Just change the font and colors until you like them

@@TracyKMainwaring i find it awkward to move things. As sometimes they get stuck lol
What size should the tpt thumbnail be for best quality? Also which format? thanks!
Make it square! I use the Instagram post size on Canva (it's free)

Hey! I’ve never had this issue, but here’s a video of what to do if this happens in PowerPoint. Maybe it’s the same?

Hi! Thank you for sharing this video! How do you make your thumbnail less blurry when you upload to TpT?
Hi Nichol! That is due to the resolution. Play around with whether you make a JPEG or a PNG. Also, I find Canva has better resolution than saving powerpoints as pictures, which I know is a common way to make thumbnails.
Fantastic video.Thanks!! x
You’re welcome!
The music is very distracting but thanks for the great info!
Sorry! I will correct that in the future.
I think the music is relaxing!
Do you know why my uploads on Canva turn into videos and are not available on the upload area? This seems to happen at times
Check the download. When you click download you can choose the file type
Thanks for sharing! Do you have to give credit for your images used on your thumbnails?
Yes -- if they are from TPT. You can just put it in your resource credits page. If they are from Canva, you do not.
@@BeccaDavis thank you!
Hi Becca, can I use graphics from Canva on my TPT worksheets to sell?
I'm interested in this question too. I have a Canva for educators account and I read I couldn't use their images/graphics for commercial use, but if I had free Canva would I be able to?

Is it okay to still make rectangular thumbnails for tpt? Or do you think the product will have less of a chance selling because it's not square?
I don't think people will pass over the resource if it's rectangular, but it looks a bit weird when all the other ones look square, so I would make sure they are square
How do you know what size to make your thumbnail?
I make it square and use the Instagram square template
@@BeccaDavis I had heard from another TH-camr that she uses 15 pixels by 15 pixels. I am new at this too and I am trying to learn as much as possible!
