Make a presentation background that speaks volumes

Whenever it’s time to give a speech or share a new idea, helpful visuals are a must, and slide presentations are the gold standard: images and lists of bullet points projected on a grand screen and revealed one slide at a time. Next time you make a presentation, don’t pick from a list of cliché background layouts again. Make your own with Canva instead.

Our vast library of stock photos and easy-to-use drag-and-drop tools lets you make a pitch-perfect presentation background in under 5 minutes. Add flair with fonts and effects, and you’ll know you have the audience’s attention. And if you need presentation layouts to go with your background, we have plenty of them(opens in a new tab or window).
