In Canva, you can make an "on-click animation" that triggers when you click or tap on an element during a presentation.
This feature is designed specifically for presentations, allowing elements to appear or animate on command rather than automatically with the slide. This gives you control over the pacing of your information delivery.
Steps to Apply On-Click Animation in Canva
Applying an on-click animation to an element in your Canva design is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:
- Select the Element: Tap on the specific element within your design that you want to animate on a click. This could be text, an image, an icon, or a shape.
- Access Animation Options: With the element selected, look at the toolbar that appears below the editor. Tap on the "Animate" option.
- Apply On-Click: Within the animation options, you will see various styles. To set the animation to trigger upon clicking or tapping the element during your presentation, you need to activate the "On-click animation" slider. Tap the slider to turn it on.
Once the slider is activated, the selected animation effect will only play when you specifically click or tap that element while presenting your design in Canva's presentation mode.

- Making interactive elements appear when needed.
- Controlling the flow of information on a single slide.
By utilizing on-click animations, you can create more dynamic and engaging presentations that hold your audience's attention.
