In this step-by-step guide, we will explore how to add a dynamic zoom effect to your design, taking your creation to the next level.


Canva Zoom Effect


Step 1: Export Your Video

Before diving into the world of animation, export your design as a video. Click on "Share" in the top right corner, then select "Download" with the file format set to MP4.


Step 2: Create a New Design

Open Canva and click on the plus icon to create a new design. Choose "Instagram post Square" to align with video dimensions.


Step 3: Add Your Video

Drag and drop your downloaded video into the new design. If you can't find it, head to the "uploads" section in the left panel or manually upload it.


Step 4: Scale Your Video

Adjust the size of your video to fit the page perfectly. This ensures a seamless integration of the zoom effect.


Step 5: Apply Animation (Canva Free Version)

For Canva's free version, go to "Animate" and choose "Breathe." This will make your video zoom in slowly.


Step 6: Alternative Animation (Canva Pro)

If you're using Canva Pro, choose "Photo Zoom" for the option to zoom in or out. Enjoy the extra flexibility in animation.


Step 7: Adjust Animation Speed

Fine-tune the animation speed using the scale slider. Slide left to slow down and right to speed up the zoom effect.


Step 8: Pro Tip for White Edges

If using the "Breathe" animation, scale up your video until the white edges disappear for a polished finish.
