Canva has just undergone a massive transformation, and it's time to delve into the new features that have been rolled out. The updates from Canva Create 2024 have brought significant changes to the homepage, the editor, and various features, making things look better than ever.

Natalia's Quick Introduction
Hi, I'm Natalia! I help you create better content and grow on social media. Let's get started with the fresh Canva updates!

Availability

If you don't see these updates on your Canva account yet, it's probably because you're not part of the initial 1 million users who gained early access. But don’t worry, these features will gradually roll out to more users in the coming weeks.

Feature 1: Blend

I initially thought Blend would involve blending modes or merging two images, but it goes beyond that. Blend allows you to remix two images together seamlessly. For example, if you have a photo but want to add lifestyle elements to make it cozier, you can borrow items from another image and integrate them into your main photo. The tool uses AI to blend lighting and colors naturally.

Feature 2: Edit Apps

For fans of the old photo editor, the good news is that Canva's edit apps have received significant upgrades. You now have more control over features like liquefy, slice, trippy color mix, and more. These tools allow for greater customization and manipulation of your images.

Feature 3: Magic Click

Magic Click is a game-changer, especially for selecting elements within an image. Whether it’s Magic Eraser, Magic Grab, or Magic Edit, you can now select objects with just one click, making the subject recognition much more precise.

Feature 4: Magic Media

Magic Media isn't new but has been significantly upgraded. Apart from generating images and videos, you can now create graphics too. This is particularly useful when you need icons, stickers, or illustrations quickly.

Feature 5: Styles

The Styles feature has received a big update. You can now apply fonts, colors, and elements from one design to another with just a click. This makes it easier to maintain a consistent design aesthetic across your projects.

Feature 6: Video Mockups

One of my favorites, Canva now supports video mockups. You can create dynamic mockups for various items like phones, laptops, and more. This feature is fantastic for content creators and small business owners who want to present their products in an engaging way.

Feature 7: Enhance Voice

Enhance Voice is a feature that improves audio quality using AI. It removes background noise, balances sound levels, and enhances the clarity of your voice, making your recorded content sound more professional.

Feature 8: Auto Trim

Auto Trim helps by automatically cutting off the unnecessary parts of your video, making your editing process faster and more efficient.

Feature 9: Highlights

Although somewhat underwhelming, Highlights aims to save time by identifying key moments in your video clips. This can be useful for quickly creating engaging clips but may need further improvements.

Honorary Mentions

Docs: New features like page breaks, highlights, and columns.
Voice to Magic Write: Makes content more on-brand.
Courses Option: For businesses needing to onboard clients or employees.

Feature 10: Work Kits

Work Kits are so comprehensive that they deserve a dedicated video, which I’ll be releasing soon. Stay tuned!
