BEST Canva tutorial EVER! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Rachel!
Thanks sooo much for this! I learned more in your 15 minutes than I did in a one and a half hour course! You rock as always!! 👍👍🙏🙏
So glad to hear Robin!
Thanks so much Jerry! I use this for work for Digital signage and Twitter at a University.. and now that I am currently working from home , I have time to think and concentrate ... this is a great training. I will watch more. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great tips and things I need to grow with Canva. Awesome! :-)
Awesome! If you're interested I just did a tutorial on the differences between the free and paid versions of Canva: th-cam.com/video/vm2twBDn8nc/w-d-xo.html
Jerry I’m new to creating content using technology. I so appreciate your thoughtful, honest and detail explanations. Bless you and the family and your two little super hero’s.
Thank you so much! I love to know it's helpful.
This is called genuine content. Loved it, Jerry. Thanks for putting up this video.
Glad it was helpful Kathan!
Jerry, this is the best Canva tutorial I've watched (and I've watched many). Thank you for explaining the value-add from buying the 'pro' version. You explain it better than Canva does!
Ha, glad to hear it was helpful Katherine! I'm a big fan of Canva.
The fact that you read all the comments shows real pride in your work. Im 14 and my uncle is a businessman who is paying me about $6.50 an hour to make templates for him on canva this helps a lot
I love what I do! Thank you for the kind words, and good luck with Canva!
Thank you Jerry, I LOVE your content. It's like Instagram for Dummies :) Short, but jammed packed with the necessary info. I shared it with my team and they better subscribe!
You are so kind! And I'm flattered you'd threaten your team to get them to subscribe. 😆
Perfect example: when YOU [ I ] need a teacher at the perfect one comes...along! Gearing up my online teachers' resource development efforts and your 'words/tips' are gems! Thank-you! Getting educators and caregivers to make certain: Play Builds Kids!
Sounds like you're on a great mission Diane! Glad the video was helpful. 😀
Great post, quick and to the point. I will give this a try for sure
Glad it was helpful Jose - Yes, Canva is great!
Here's the link for Canva: fiveminutesocialmedia.com/canva
I've been using Canva for a year or so and I learned more. Thank you! I'd like everyone to know I was able to get the paid version for free for my nonprofit ministry. It's kind of hidden down in the area that talks about pricing, but it's worth digging for.
Great tip!!!
Thank you! You explain this so well that I’m subscribing to your channel.
Glad to hear Tete! I have a new video coming out Monday that covers the differences between the free and paid versions of Canva too.
This video was very informative. I am not a computer person and have been very frustrated because i could not figure out what to do and how to do it. But this gave me confidence.
Awesome to hear!
Wow! Excellent work brother. Keep up the good work. Stay Blessed.
Thank you, I will!

That video was awesome 👏 thank you for sharing I’ve just unloaded the app, I have a question I did couple designs but they were saved with the Canva water mark, is any way to erase that?
Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, Jerry Potter can’t get to all of them, but if you still need an answer feel free to post it in our free Facebook Community:

I occasionally add other images to canva account. It is so easy to do.
Canva is a really good layout application.
However, it lacks some key features for more sophisticated graphical art, such as a layers menu, merge shapes feature, vector drawing/tracing tools, etc.
Even MS PowerPoint has these tools.
Thank you! I am gonna try it for sure! Starting with a flyer!
Can I add my own business logo to Canva?
Yes! In the Upload section.
good promises, with all that said, I would by now built it a Church, small size real church, ty
Thanks Jerry. Great video to introduce Canva.
Glad you enjoyed it Chris!
Great video for a relative new comer to instagram.
Glad it was helpful! If you're considering the paid version of Canva, I recently put out a video comparing the free and paid versions: th-cam.com/video/vm2twBDn8nc/w-d-xo.html
This is really good. Thanks so much sir.
You're welcome!
Hi Jerry, I am a Newbie on Canva and I greatly enjoyed the above freebie you made just for us. Thanks a bunch. A quick question: How do I get the web based pro version to open a page I designed on the IOS Canva app. Though the page shows up in my design folder, the moment I click on it to edit, the page opens up in the App, which has limitations.
Sheikh

Thank you very much!!
You're welcome!
Great post Jerry. Got any advice or tips for drawing a picture/illustration on canva? (i.e. Stick figure man)...is it even possible? Total newbee.
Strangely I don't believe there is! It's more about combining elements into design rather than drawing from scratch.
Hi Jerry. It is nice to watch how well you are explaining Canva. I want to purchase Canva, however I have an issue. Basically, I want to be able to write in my mother tongue language, which is Kurdish. My language is written the same way as Arabic and Farsi. Canva does accept the language, however when it is downloaded, it does not recognise it, which find it very strange. I am not on a paid version, therefore it is difficult to confirm whether it would be as same or perhaps accept it.
Canva offers free trials, so I'd suggest signing up for a free trial and you can test it: fiveminutesocialmedia.com/canva
Great tutorial.
Thanks!
This was sooo helpful thank you so much!!!!
Glad it was helpful Ben!
super tut!!! dude
Glad you enjoyed it Kenneth! I just did a new one comparing the free and paid versions of Canva: th-cam.com/video/vm2twBDn8nc/w-d-xo.html
I use Canva for my work as a Realtor!!!
Awesome Pamela!
Great video!!!! Subbed. Concise. / Question: Jerry, if we wanted to empower our 108 field offices to customize a canva post by, say, typing in the city name and posting it to the regional Craigslist how would we help them do that? Is that what a template stored on the cloud canva is for or not? Thanks sgain.
Hi Louis! Assuming each office has their own Canva account, you could share it with all of them by creating a link to a template they can copy.
Hit Share at the top right of the screen on a computer to generate the link.
Five Minute Social Media - Jerry Potter Thank you Jerry🙏
You're welcome!
Great video Jerry Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Jerry loved the video, I learnt more in that than trying to do the actual Canva tutorials. One question - here is my example of what I am trying to do - let's say I have a Canva template of Christmas decorations with the baubles on the top right corner and bottom left corner. I want to put an image of a family member inside the baubles but still keep the bauble but the photo is more transparent. When I add the photo it stays on top of the bauble as a rectangle so doesn't blend into the bauble and the edges go outside of the bauble. I just want the photo to be a part of the bauble. I hope that makes sense?
I think I know what you're asking. You should be able to select the photo, then click "Position" at the top. This is where you can move it behind the other parts of the image.
This info was great! I have a question since I am a newbie. If I take a picture of an item for my on-line store, how to I make the background disappear?
That's a feature in Canva Pro, and here's how it works: www.canva.com/learn/background-remover/
thanks love the helpful information
Glad it was helpful Yvonne!
wew, i just realised canva is so awesome .... in 2020 :( but hey nothing is too late right :D thx man !
Ha, no worries at all! Here's a new video I made comparing the free and paid versions: th-cam.com/video/vm2twBDn8nc/w-d-xo.html
Very helpful, thank you! However, which would you recommend for newbies (adobe spark or canva 2.0) in creating instagram stories, facebook stories, twitter, youtube thumbnails, youtube banner, etc?
It's kind of a personal preference - try them both!
Hey Jerry thanks. This really helps. I was just checking if there is any way to make a grid in Canva like excel and put information or import information in excel into Canva. Looking to make a catalogue for my business and this format would really help. Is there something like this in Canva ?
There is a Charts tool under Elements that might work for you.
This was really helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful Lucy!
Thanks
Great video, Jerry - thank you. I'm new to Canva after years on PicMonkey. I like this better. Here's a question though ... I've created a tri-fold brochure for a client. She would like to be able to do any simple edits it down the road in case they change their phone number or something. I see that Canva lets me download as a .png or a .pdf, but those aren't editable, are they? Do you know how I could transfer my editable file from my Canva to hers so she can edit it in the future? I explained that she could open a free Canva account to do that.
You can send it to her via email - just make sure you send it as an editable design:
support.canva.com/troubleshooting/sharing-your-design/
Hi Jerry. How do I type with multiple colors. Please guide me on that thanks
Thank you so much that was helpful :)
Glad it was helpful Melissa!
Could I please ask how to change the colour of a Graphic picture? I'm trying to just turn a Mandala white vs. black & white with a blue background?
Hey Debbie! That's a more complex process and I don't think there's a good way to do that in Canva. Sorry I don't have a better answer!
Great tutorial thank you! How do I save my work after altering a template? I tried saving it and it just goes back to looking like the original template if I either close the workspace or click onto the second page (2of2).
You can't necessarily have your own "templates," but your design saves. When you are on the home screen (right after logging in) you should see all your designs by scrolling down. If you titled them you can also search for them. But they will not come up in the Templates section.
wow nice!
thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
I am looking to create a banner for linkedin. How do i do that. Do you have a step by step guide?
If I'm making a power point presentation, what template would I use (or pixel size, or whatever I need to make it the right size to fit the screen)? I know you showed the option for a presentation but your example was a square.
Canva has a presentation template, but generally for that you'll want to use 1920px x 1080px.
Great tutorial! I have a question, how did you make your video with you talking and the background of your design?
Hi Felixia! I use a program called Camtasia where you can record your computer screen. There are lots of similar programs out there - just look for something that offers Screen Recording.
good stuff
Glad it was helpful Hao!
Thank you so much for excellent information Jerry... Shall we use canva for professional logo design jobs?
Many people do! My logo was designed in Canva. I've designed flyers and posters for clients in Canva too.
What is the best way to make a copy of a design and then change the wording? I want to make many testimonials of the same design so they look consistant in my instagram. There seems to be a few ways to do this but sometimes it shows up weird.
I usually just copy the "page" and keep them all in the same file!
Hi, How do I put in a text box (with a color - say black) add white lettering and move it around. I tried shapes but I didn't see just a plane rectangle.
Hi Joy! There are lots of different shapes including rectangles under Elements, then Shapes.
Excellent video thanks! I see a way in canva to eliminate a background. But is there a way to eliminate it to where it's no longer a square picture frame but now instead a cut out of the person that you can paste over or onto another picture or background?
You can cut and paste it or drag it to another page/image in the file.
@@mrjerrypotter yea but when you do that it still has the square frame even though the background around the person is gone
I understand what you're asking now. I don't think there is a way to do that - everything in Canva has a square frame. But it won't show up in your final design. It's just there for moving/resizing/cropping.
@@mrjerrypotter ahhh well that's too bad. Somebody from Canva emailed me a question asking what I would like to see improved RE Photos Pro. I mentioned this problem. Maybe they'll work it out. There's a need.
Thank u
Thank you!
My pleasure, glad it was helpful!
I think ur my new guy, hmm we will work closely together as I learn from sessions WTH U🌸

Hello,
Thanks for a good overview video. Wondering which template is most suitable to choose if you want to make a 12-page brochure and want to create all 12 pages in canva, i.e. not just a cover page, but the entire brochure.?
I would then like to send the entire completed 12-page brochure for printing. How can I get an idea of what it will look like before deciding to print eg 1000 pcs?
Canva has HUNDREDS of templates so there is no way I can recommend one, especially since design is so subjective.
As far as printing, you can order prints from inside Canva, or you can download it as a PDF and take it to a printer. Good luck with your project!
Hey Jerry. I am new to Canva and using it to create IG posts. If I create an IG post with several pages, what is the easiest way to upload with all those pages to IG to create a post? I ended up downloading what I created (instead of just sharing directly from Canva to IG), which created several images (png). Then I went to IG and uploaded the pictures from there-because I couldn't figure out how to upload multiple pictures directly from Canva. I do hope it is lack of knowledge on my side and that the extra step I did is unnecessary. Any suggestions?
To be honest I haven't spent a lot of time with posting directly from Canva, but I can tell you this - Instagram only allows you to schedule from 3rd party apps for single images and videos, not multiple image posts (carousels).
Are you able to cut out individual objects from pictures that you upload and use them as part of a design?
Not in the way you are describing. This is more of a graphic design program. You'll likely need software like Photoshop to get that precise with photo editing.
I was hoping to see how to resize.. not with the tab that says Resize but just change the scale and keep the original crop
If you resize with the same ratio (for example it's still 16:9 or 4:5) it should keep the same crop.
Five Minute Social Media - Jerry Potter I’ll try it
Thanks, this really helped me understand Canva! I'm just about to create my account and the only 'free' option I can see is the 30 day trial, will I be able to continue for free if I use this?
On the pricing page you should see a place to choose the free plan:
www.canva.com/pricing/
And what I showed in this video is the free version, not a free trial. Here's more about the differences between the free and pro plans:
th-cam.com/video/vm2twBDn8nc/w-d-xo.html
You're a great presenter!
BUT The difficulties im having getting canva designs onto my FB page defy description.
I wrote a 3-page giveaway post in canva (about 5 hours work) and cant figure out how to get it to be published on FB after downloading it.
The 3 pp. are in my download file on my drive but there seems to be NO WAY to move them into FB.
Canva says to click the white arrow to download the design and then place it on FB as a photo, but there are 3 related designs. I got one of the photos on as a post but I cant control the size, its huge, even tho in canva it displays properly. The download seems to have blown up and I can’t resize it.
It’s frustrating in the extreme to invest so many hours and end up with Nada. There was a note on canva regarding their inability to sync with facebook. But the workaround is failing.
I guess I will just have to forget about using canva and try to make my pix look good doing them direct.
I was hoping you might have something to say about this, since the only reason i would have for using canva is to have access to all the bells & wissles!
Hey Jane! Sorry this has been so frustrating. Without seeing your screen I'm not sure what the problem could be but I hope you are finding a workaround.
with present do you always have to actually go to canva.com in order to preset infront of the class, like can it be done offline if so then How ? many thanks Dan
I haven't used Canva for presentations (I prefer Google Slides), but I'm guessing you have to be online unless you downloaded the slides as PDFs or something.
