Tips

• Start from a template

  Choose a customizable template when you want a starting point for a social post, presentation, flyer, invitation, or resume. Replace its text and images with your own content, then adjust the layout to suit the project. Canva’s description lists templates across these formats, so this can save time when you are building a design from scratch.

• Make a focused photo edit

  Use the photo editor when an image needs a straightforward adjustment. Canva describes tools for cropping, flipping, and changing brightness, contrast, or saturation, along with adding text and applying filters. For a collage, try a photo grid or layout to arrange several images. Pick the simplest edit that fits the design you want to make.

• Build a short video

  Use Canva’s video editor to combine images or clips, then consider adding an audio track, subtitles, an animation, or a page transition. The description also lists Beat Sync for matching edits to music. Popular music has regional restrictions, so availability can depend on where you are using the app.

Menu names follow the developer's help pages and can differ slightly between versions and phones.

How we write the digest

Each week we check the Google Play listings of the apps our readers use most: the version number, the update date and the developer's What's new notes. When an app has a new version, we put the developer's update notes and the listing details together on one page, in plain words, with a link to the official Google Play listing. Google and most developers release updates in stages over several days, so a version listed here may not have reached your phone yet. GoCompareNow is an independent site and is not affiliated with any developer. This page doesn't read your phone or your Google account, and nothing is installed from here.
