About Canva Pro

Like I said earlier I have been using Canva for years for my digital marketing career. Throughout those years many upgrades have taken place and the tool is even more powerful than before. Here are 10 things you can do with Canva Pro!

Top 9 Features In Canva Pro 2019

1. Brand Kit Pro

Nowadays companies are looking to revamp their image and create branding guidelines. This will often include logos, fonts, and colors. Having the ability to easily access these brand guidelines makes it much easier to create stunning content. Which is why when Canva Pro came out with this upgrade I was jumping for joy that you can now save your brand’s colors, logos and fonts and create on-brand designs.

2. Photos Pro

Did someone say stock photos? Whether is launching a new website or creating a brochure using stock photos is a quick and easy way to get your content to convey a message. With Over 2 million photos included in Canva Pro, you can do it by one quick search!

3. Magic Resize Pro

One-click is all it takes to resize your graphics! Seriously only one click! I cannot tell you how many times I have created a graphic that needs to be re-created into a different size. Social Media cover banners is a great example of why this tool is so convenient. It allows me to recreate the same cover banner into different social media sizes.

4. Elements Pro

Marketers always use symbols and icons to express an idea or word. I mean just look at the Facebook Icon. Since Apple first released the ever so popular emojis, the world has been taken by storm. Using icons in your digital marketing campaigns is an easy, awesome way to convey a message. This is why I use Canva Pro it gives me unlimited access to over 500,000 premium illustrations and icons.

5. Publish Pro

A lot of other softwares will pixelate your content making it looks fuzzy and quite frankly unprofessional. Canva Pro allows users to download High-res designs, no matter the size. Plus transparent backgrounds!! I have used this tool many times to create icons and logos for watermarking different digital marketing projects. 

6. Animation Pro aka Create Videos

Ever notice how your competitors are posting really cool gifs? Now you can stay relevant by turning your Canva designs into beautiful and fun Gifs and videos. I have used this exact tool to create stunning Facebook Cover Banners. In my opinion, having a captive video for you, Facebook Coverbanner really sets a brand apart.

7. Text Pro

Typography is everything when it comes to having a solid brand image. Finding the right font to represent your brand can be extremely difficult without the right tool. I love how Canva Pro no allows users to upload custom fonts and use 500+ exclusive fonts to set your designs apart. 

8. Folder Pro

Stay organized with more folders and storage for your designs

9. Unlimited Storage 

Tons of photos? No problem. Not only does Canva Pro allow you to upload your photos it also gives you the capability to organize all of your pics in custom folders. This is an ideal tool for digital marketers who need to keep their image assets organized efficiently. 

10. Background Pro

Transfer templates in seconds with thousands of beautiful background.
