Whether you're a student or working professional, you'll be sure to find some inspiration after seeing the 7 creative ways I use this free tool - Canva! In this video I go over 7 ways I use Canva.com as a professional that has helped me stand out at work.
First, you're able to import entire PDFs into Canva and Canva will let you edit the entire file - from the background to the words on the slides. This is extremely helpful if you only need to use part of the content from the PDF.
Speaking of presentations, you're able to use the "Frames" feature to create mockups of basically anything you want; from book covers to website design. These small adjustments will really help your audience visualize the ideas in your head.
I also use Canva to create professional LinkedIn profile pictures and background banners. Not only are there existing templates you can use immediately, Canva provides you with a lot of tools to make your images look just right
And that's just the tip of the iceberg! I share a lot more Canva tips and tricks within the video itself, enjoy 😁

I already use canva for presentations for school works ( actually for lots of things from posters to even bday cards ) but 10 tips for canva would be great. There are so so many great tools on canva. Great vids btw 👌 👍

I had no idea you can import and edit an entire PDF in Canva! You're a rockstar Jeff 🤘Btw, thanks for sharing the camera gear post in the links; really helpful to see the gear you transitioned from the beginning to what you use now 😁
Thanks Billie! Yea the gear is SO expensive but I guess worth it in the long run 😂
You are amazing. I can't imagine how you manage to know all that stuff you share on your channel and be really creative and helpful with those. Thankyou!
Hahaha it comes from a drive to do good by my viewers 😁
Jeff - this series is AWESOME. I loved the presentation video - and this is absolutely incredible.
Glad to hear it Caeden!! Thank you 😁
That PDF editing feature is gonna come in clutch someday :o Thanks so much for sharing! 😁
Man I wish I knew about Canva and the remove background thing sooner. I remember spending an inhumane amount of time carefully removing the background of a photo once with a digital art tool 😂 and I’d love to see a top 10 tips video about Canva!
Hahahaha yea! I use the premium version for Canva because I always ended up needing the background removal feature
Thanks so much for sharing Jeff! Great content as always.

I appreciate the value I found listening to this lesson. I’m supporting our new commander manager for travel and expense and this is a great tool to keep in my back pocket!
I listened to a different podcast on adding value in meetings. They talked about asking powerful questions about goals (short term vs long term), capabilities and resources, and measurement (how success will be measured). I’m curious on your thoughts on how to ask powerful questions that add value in meetings. Might be a good future video 🤞🏾
That's a GREAT idea Corey! I'll be incorporating that in my professional development video, thanks for the input 😁
Whoops and also understanding who your audience/customers are …
Curious to know what podcast that was from?
the brendon show - how to add value
Really enjoyed this and would appreciate you doing further Canva focused videos.
Awesome, will do Mark! 😁
Totally acceptable information. I've picked out a lot this time ⭐
Glad to hear it 😁
Thanks. I love your positive energy
You're very welcome Chris and thank you!
Thanks Jeff. This is really inspirational!
Glad to hear it James! 😁
Have been using canva for a long time. But I never thought to create a resume through that. Thanks Jeff 👍😉
It's a very powerful tool with different use cases! I've personally not created a resume for myself either but I would if I ever want to find a new job 😂
Aaaaaaaa, What a tutorial! Loveeeeee youuuuu ❤
Thank youuu!
Awesome tips... I use Canvas and it is very easy... Your tips keep being totally useful.
Niceeee glad to hear it Dan! Do you use it for work or for school?

You're welcome Lin 😂
Okay Jeff, been binge watching a number of your vids - the content is so good btw - but what I'm wondering is if you've done any videos or can direct me to a good place to learn more about your video editing app and process, so impressed with all that you put into each video while still keeping it clean, and never cheesy. Just getting started with CZcams, but my lack of editing knowledge is holding me back. Thanks in advance!
How did you create the "tip transition"?... Along with all the other cool bits.
Ali Abdaal's master class on Skillshare 😁
Another great video!
Thank you Jane!
Excelentes consejos :D Y me reí varias veces durante el video. Gracias. :)
You're welcome 😁
Love this! Personally I don't use canvas, but I deft keep in insight for quick design stuff. So, great tips and insights! Question: I currently reading "Quiet" (by Susan Cain). What re your thoughts on team work and open office spaces, introvert/extrovert personalities and productivity & focus? Keep on with the good content!
Those are great future video ideas! Thanks for the comment!
I'm all in for a tips video on Canva!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know 😁
Love the videos
Thank you Irfan! 😁
DUDE!! You're better than anyone else I saw few months of learning tech tips, I'm a tech person at the age of 13 but I want to learn and master more!
Yes, do more content that is very useful, #thinkoutsidethebox.
That's awesome you're starting so early!! Welcome 😁
@@JeffSu Have a great day, Sir!
Damn I love this series

Hi Jeff great Video! I am using canva for digital marketing, flyers and to draw unique customers to our workforce development program.
Oh that's awesome! How long have you been using it? I'm deciding whether I should teach myself Photoshop as well...
Down loaded last week to work on a Vision Board. Still learning. Thank you for the tips. Would love more.
Thanks for letting me know Chuck! I'm curious: What's a vision board?
Will do more tips on Canva for sure 😁
@@JeffSu it is a visible reminder of my goals. For example I have recently lost over 100lbs, but I continue to focus on the body that I want to drive me toward that goal. I have a photo of what I want. Watching your video made me think that I can make it my screen background on all my devices that way it is a reminder of why I am doing what I am doing. Hope that helps.
@@ChuckJacobs1 oh WOW CONGRATS CHUCK! That is fantastic, keep going!!
Awesome video! Would love a video on 10 tips for Canva

Background music -> It's a random song I found on Epidemic Sound. Do you like it?
You can remove the background in any pic in Canva. :) But Im learning a lot in this vid. Thanks man!

Hi Jeff this is an amazing video great stuff in here. i have crello that i got from appsumo i think its basikly the same no? also i was wondering what you use for your recordings i like when you circle in red with the marker?
Hi Avi! I've never used Crello but it's great to see so many awesome tools out there! I just use a highlighter plugin I bought :)
Thank youuuu!
You're welcome Lucas!!! 😁
I've used canvas for years and never knew I could edit PDFs in it. This would have saved my ass so many times
Hahaha well hopefully you'll get to use this feature moving forward too! 😁
When you said "For example when we use Notion" my eyes shined!
But not for the others? 🥺
@@JeffSu Man you know how to make others feel bad 😂
Ok, "shined" MORE! I forgot the "more" 😅

That's a good idea! I haven't dabbled in that yet but I might give it try! Thanks for the idea Lorena!

hey @Jeff Su , hope you are doing well. Once again a very informative video . Have two requests for you. One at 06.50 in the video you mention that one of your subscriber designed that icon, if possible can you make a video on creating such icons. And second missing your humor and funny expressions. Anyways thanks again
Oh...but I don't know how to make the icon 😅. And no worries! I'll try to incorporate more humorous expressions moving forward :)
@@JeffSu 😊
Awesome tip! I use canva on everyday basis and didn't know that I could import PDF's it would have saved me so much time : ) Just have one question, when I import it creates a document, how can I transform it to the presentation format? thanks a lot
You mean like slides? You can download as slides :)
@@JeffSu when I import it is always in a vertical format, like a word document! I wanted to use the PDF and make a presentation, like horizontal format
@@diogocasanova7228 depends on the document you import haha. If you import slides you will get slides 😁
@@JeffSu Thank you so much! Keep up with your amazing work 😊
Im using canva for some image tweaking and certificates
