How to create an animated presentation
Set your vision into motion
Unleash your creativity and craft an animated presentation that leaves a lasting impression. Breathe life to your deck by adding a wide range of movements to your slides or design elements, from Basic animations that let them pop or fade to Exaggerate animations that have them tumbling or stomping on screen. Alternatively, make important details pop with custom motion paths using our Create an Animation tool.
AI-powered pitch in minutes
Work smarter with AI-powered tools right inside our editor to speed up your design process. Use Magic Design™ for Presentations(opens in a new tab or window) to generate an on-brand draft presentation or Magic Write™(opens in a new tab or window) to create an initial draft or edit your existing text. If you’re short on time, Magic Animate™ (Pro)(opens in a new tab or window) is a nifty tool for instantly enhancing your entire design with sleek animations and seamless transitions.
Collaborate and present anytime, anywhere
With your team, create and design a captivating animated presentation seamlessly. Share a link to your design and grant members editing access so they can view, edit, and comment on any device, no matter where they are. You can also transform your presentation into a brainstorming session. Simply expand a slide into an online Whiteboard(opens in a new tab or window) and empower everyone to bring out their best ideas.
Create more fun ways to engage
Move your audience with your animated presentation in more ways than one. On Canva, highlight special moments using Magic Shortcuts™(opens in a new tab or window) like “C” for confetti, “D” for drumroll, or “M” for a mic drop animation.
Additionally, encourage participation in your presentation with Canva Live(opens in a new tab or window). Let your audience join the discussion with a QR code scan so they can send questions or comments as you present.
