So if that is interesting to you, please like, comment, and subscribe, and turn on the notification bell so you can learn more Canva hacks and tutorials. So let's get right and started. I'm going to go ahead and show you the first hack to be able to save time with your designs. So the first hack is going to be using the Magic Studio and removing your background. So this is very helpful for having a clean design, and we can quickly do that without the hassle. So what you're going to do is, for example, if you had your picture, this is the template that we wanted to use, but we want to add a picture, but it has a background that we do not like. So let's, for example, we'll go with this. All we have to do is hit background remover, and as you can see in two seconds, it is gone. Now you can go ahead and stretch it out and put it on your design, and you can use this if you wanted to rotate it, and then bring it down a little bit more. And then if you wanted to add a quote up here, you can do that. So that is how you can easily remove the background. We're going to go ahead and go into the next hack that will save you time. The next hack is going to be able to help you to find levels from major companies such as Printify, Etsy, Instagram, Facebook, without having to go to Google or having to download their logo. So what you're going to do is go over to apps, and you're going to type in brand, and you're going to click on brand fetch logo, and this is a great resource to save time. And then you're just going to go ahead and search that particular brand. As you can see here, I already have Instagram, and they give you different logo options as well as different colors. So depending on what design you're doing, now you can easily add Instagram to your design, or you can add the symbol easily to your design. Maybe make it next to the Instagram if you want to do both like that, or maybe you might choose the black one just to match that as well. But this is the easy way to do this. So like I said, if you wanted to do Etsy, you can easily click on the Etsy logo, Facebook, same thing, TikTok. So this is a hack to be able to get your logos added to your designs, and they're the official logos without them having them look professional. So we're going to go ahead and go into the next hack. If you're liking this video so far, please give it a thumbs up, like, and comment down below what type of videos you want me to create next. Let's go into the next one. The next hack that I'm going to be showing you is how to star content, images, elements on canvas so that you can be able to track it and have use it later. This will save you a lot of time so that you don't have to go back and try to find the content that you want to use for different designs. So for example, if we go back and click on, let's go back to elements and let's type in woman again. As we can see here, we can hit three stars, uh, three dots, I'm sorry, and hit star. And now it has been starred. So what you're going to do is you're going to go over to the home page of page of canva, and you're going to go ahead and hit these create. I'm sorry, you're going to go over to where it says templates, and you're going to click on start at the top. So now you can easily find all of the starred content that you want to use. And then you can also add it to a folder, label the folder, and have everything organized so that when you're creating your digital product designs, physical products, um, templates, all of these things, you can have it in one folder or one place so that you can go ahead and grab it and create your design as quickly as possible. So we're going to go into the next hack, and I hope that these hacks have been helpful so far. The next Canva hack to save time is going to be going over to brand and creating a brand template if you haven't done so already. So if you're creating templates or social media posts or designs all the time, you want to make sure that you stick with your brand colors, be able to add your logo quickly, or if you want to use specific fonts in all of your designs, this will help you as well. As you can see, you can add icons and photos to be able to have it. So once you go to the home screen, you're going to go ahead and click on brand, and we have these brand kits right here. And so I have some examples already done here, but what you're going to do is going to hit add new. You're going to name it your business, business name, or brand name. Then you'll want to get your color palettes. So if you've had a brand kit created or you can get the colors from your logo, you want to add those individual colors that you're going to be using in all your designs. So you'll go ahead and type out the combination right here, or if you want to be and go through and select the different photos that you want to, I mean colors that you want to use, you can go ahead and use this right here. So let's say that's your first color. Your next color might be black, next one might be white, and maybe it's pink, and those are your brand colors. So now you can be able to have this to select throughout your designs without having to go in and add these colors to every single design. And then you can also select specific fonts that you want to use for every single title of, let's say, your social media post or certain things where you want to have a cohesive brand. So you can go ahead and select that and now you'll be able to have that there already. For your subtitles, you can have them all be the same as well and so forth. So you can go down here, you can have some quotes, you can add some photos of yourself or photos that you, if you have graphics that you want to use all the time in your designs, icons, and so forth. And so this is how you go ahead and create your brand kit right here at the top. You can upload your logo as well and then it will show when you're creating your designs on the side. So all you have to do is select those colors in that brand. And the fifth and final hack for saving you time with your Canva designs is, this is simple but effective, is using their templates. So Canva has thousands and thousands of templates that you can use if you're a beginner and you are still trying to build up your designing skills. So what you're going to need to do is you'll go ahead and hit templates and depending on what you're creating, you can go ahead and search that in. If you are doing a YouTube thumbnail, you can go ahead and search that in. And you select the one that you like based off your niche. And so of course the more details you give it, the better the search result will be. So you can go ahead and hit select and just start editing out these. But or for example, if you are designing a logo for your business, you have logo design. And you can go through the templates and edit them for a simple design for your logo. And then as you expand on your design skills, you can make it a more advanced design. So as you can see here, just go ahead and click on it and edit it. Or if you are a teacher or a student, you will need presentation. Go ahead and type in presentation and they'll give you different ones. Let's say that you are doing a presentation on food. Type in food presentation and it'll give you better results. And you can preview them before you click on it. Or you can select it and look through it right there and they'll show you examples that are similar as well. And you can go ahead and select it. And like we went over earlier, you can also star it so you can use this template later if you need. So that is how I would recommend. This has been the last and final step or tip on how to save time with your designs. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up.
