Create Awesome Text Highlight Animations in Canva

Updated: Jun 1

Do you want to make your social media posts or ads stand out with eye-catching text animations? Well, you're in luck because you can do it easily with Canva. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the steps to create a stunning text highlight animation.



Step 1: Set the Scene

First, pick a background from Canva's elements, like a Blackboard. This will serve as the canvas for your animation.


Step 2: Add Your Text

Now, add your text to the background. This can be your exciting message or whatever you want to highlight. You can also add more text to make it interesting.


Step 3: Get the Highlighter

Search for a grunge line highlighter in Canva's elements. This will be the tool that highlights your text. Make sure to position it behind the text you want to emphasize.


Step 4: Add Some Color

Change the color of the highlighter to something that catches the eye.


Step 5: Bring It to Life

Now comes the fun part. Go to the "animate" section and choose the "wipe" effect. This makes your highlighter animation. You can also adjust the speed to your liking. Duplicate this page and remove the highlighter on the first page. Change the duration of this page to 1 second for a smooth transition.


Step 6: Download and Enhance

Once you're satisfied with your animation, download it. Then, create a new page and scale up the animation. Use the "breathe" animation effect to add some movement. You can also play with the speed.


Step 7: Add a Finishing Touch

To make it even more appealing, search for a "light leak" in Canva's elements. Scale it up and decrease the opacity. This adds a nice touch to your animation.


Step 8: Repeat and Experiment

You can repeat this process for different text lines. Just copy and paste the "light leak" overlay on every page after adding a "breathe" animation. Get creative and see what works best for you.


Step 9: The Final Touch

After adding animations to all your text lines, you've got an engaging text highlight animation. You can add music for that extra oomph.



With Canva, you can easily create stunning text highlight animations that will make some part of your text pop. Whether it's for ads or engaging posts, this technique will captivate your audience. So, go ahead, give it a try, and let your creativity shine!
