This New Canva Feature Is a Game Changer for Content Creators and Social Media Managers

Here’s how to use it

Canva, the popular online design app has just made life a lot easier for content creators and social media managers. The new feature that Canva launched recently is going to make a huge impact in boosting your content marketing strategy. Canva is one of the most popular tools on the market for non-designers when creating social media posts, infographics or even full content pieces such as blog posts and landing pages.

I just made 5 new pins in less than 5 minutes for one of my products. It’s so much easier and faster to use than Tailwind Create.

Here’s how to use the new Quick Create feature

1.When you land on your Canva homepage choose the “social media” design, as shown below.

2. Then choose Quick create, chose the format and start designing. I needed some new Pinterest Pins to promote my Etsy products so that’s what I chose and will show you how to create.

Click continue and add text, as I did.

The next step is to add a logo and image. You can choose between what you have already uploaded to Canva or add a new pic.

After this, you start choosing between different templates.

Now comes the best part, matching your template to your branding. I liked how the pin looked as suggested by Canva so I didn’t make any changes. As you can see below, you can change colors (add your own) and fonts. When you’re done just click finish, download and upload to your social media profile.

With this tool, Canva has taken the chore factor out of the equation. So, the next time you have a social media post to create, consider taking advantage of this new feature. It’s an excellent opportunity to improve your content creation abilities and take your social media game to the next level.

Hope you find this quick guide useful.
