Canva is a instrument that I exploit virtually each day for every part from creating YouTube thumbnails to designing full displays just like the one which I am giving this afternoon. And as I wrote earlier this yr, there are not less than ten good methods to make use of Canva in your classroom. That is why I used to be excited this morning once I learn the information that Canva now affords a Windows and Mac desktop app. I’ve already put in it and it is nice! You will get the Windows model right here and the Mac model right here.

Canva for desktop contains the entire identical options which might be discovered within the net browser model. These options embody seemingly countless graphic design templates, picture enhancing instruments, animation instruments, and easy web site publishing instruments. You will additionally discover libraries of top of the range photos, drawings, icons, music, and b-roll video clips.

The side of Canva for desktop that I like essentially the most up to now is with the ability to have a number of designs open and rapidly swap between them. I am additionally enthusiastic about with the ability to run it within the background separate from my net browser. That characteristic ought to make it simpler to current a slideshow made with Canva and not need to preserve flipping between net browser home windows once I need to give a demonstration of one thing exterior of the slideshow.
