2 Easy Ways To Zoom In Canva Presentation

You can zoom in Canva when your presentation is on full-screen preview and while you are editing your presentation. In this article, you will learn how to zoom in Canva presentation.

How To Zoom In Canva Presentation?

The best way to zoom in on a Canva presentation is to use your keyboard shortcut keys by pressing Command + the plus sign “+” on Mac or Ctrl + the plus sign “+” on Windows. You can zoom out by pressing Command + hyphen “-” on Mac or Ctrl + hyphen “-“.

If you want more details, I’ve lined up some other ways and steps in this tutorial below.

Method 1: Shortcut Keys

You can use the shortcut keys to zoom in and out of your Canva presentation just like how you use them for many, if not all apps on your computer. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Presentation Mode

The first step is to open up your design as a presentation in Canva.

Then, select the Share button in the top right-hand corner.

In the middle of the drop-down panel, select the Present button.

Select any view you like from these options: Present full screen, Presenter view, or Autoplay. Note that you can’t zoom in and out of the Present and Record mode.

Then, click on the Present button at the bottom of the drop-down panel.

Step 2: Zoom In Canva With Shortcut Keys

Next, with your Canva presentation opened up, you can zoom in by using the keyboard shortcut key Command and the plus key “+” on a Mac.

Or the Ctrl and plus key “+” on Windows.

Zooming in makes everything closer to you or bigger. Great to see tiny text like superscripts in Canva clearer.

To zoom out of your Canva design page, use the Command and minus or hyphen key “-” on a Mac.

Or the Ctrl and minus or hyphen key “-” on Windows.

When creating your presentation design on your Canva page, you are able to have your zoom percentage value reset to what it was before by pressing Command + “0” on Mac, or Ctrl + “0”.

However, when in Canva presentation mode, this keyboard shortcut does not work. You can only use the zoom-in and out shortcut keys to adjust the value.

Method 2: Slider

The other method to zoom in and out of a Canva presentation is to use the available slider in the presentation mode. It can be seen in all the views given except for the Present and Record view. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Presentation Mode

Same with Method 1, select the presentation mode you like, either Present full screen, Presenter view, or Autoplay.

Then click the Present button.

Step 2: Zoom Slider

In the Present Full Screen and Autoplay modes, bring your cursor to the bottom of the screen. A set of options will appear.

Select the zoom icon represented by a magnifying glass with a plus sign inside.

Once you click on it, a slider will pop up on the right side. Adjust the toggle on the slider to the right to zoom in and slide it to the left to zoom out of your presentation.

If you select the Presenter View, bring your cursor to the left side where your presentation is shown and bring it on top of the timeline window.

A slider will pop up with the zoom slider on the left side. Use your cursor to adjust the toggle and zoom level.

FAQ

Then, go to the Canva design page, select the Share button on the top right-hand corner of the Canva app or browser, then select More and click on Present.

Select any of the presentation modes, then click the Present button. You can proceed to use Zoom in the Canva presentation.

Next, go to the browser window or tab that has your Canva document or the right size. Click on the empty document, right-click on your cursor and select “Paste” in the pop-up menu.

Your design will appear on the new Canva document of your desired size. You will have to adjust your image size and layout to fit the new document size.

Next, select the Present link and go on to select the presentation view you wish to change to. Then press the Present button.

To zoom out of your Canva design page, use the Command and minus or hyphen key “-” on a Mac. Or the Ctrl and minus or hyphen key “-” on Windows.
