Canva Keyboard shortcuts for Windows and Mac

Canva

Canva is a popular online design tool for creating social media posts, presentations, resumes, documents, and videos. I personally use Canva and recommend it to other users who need a good design tool. If you regularly use Canva, you need to learn Canva keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts will help users design posts and social media posts faster and save time. Keyboard shortcuts can speed up your design process by eliminating the need for mouse clicks and menu navigation. This allows you to create designs more quickly and efficiently. It also reduces strain on your hands and wrists by minimizing the amount of time you spend clicking and dragging with a mouse.

In this article, I am listing Canva keyboard shortcuts for Windows and Mac. These keyboard shortcuts work on Canva websites. Many of these keyboard shortcuts will also work on Canva’s desktop apps.
