Leaked Canva Updates for 2025: Elevate Your Text and Image Editing Skills
With Canva's highly anticipated 2025 update around the corner, I'm thrilled to share two key features that have leaked early. These advancements in text and image editing will significantly enhance how you interact with Canva, especially if you're a graphic designer or small business owner. Let's dive into these updates so you can start using them right away and be ahead of the curve!
Step 1: Utilising Subscript and Superscript in Canva
The first update is a game-changer for anyone who frequently works with numbers or scientific notations. Previously, including subscripts or superscripts was a bit of a chore. Now, Canva has streamlined this process.
- Add Your Text: Begin by writing the text you need to format.
- Highlight the Text: Select the number or letter you want to adjust.
- Access Advanced Formatting: Navigate to the text panel and choose 'Advanced Formatting'.
- Select Text Position: Choose between superscript or subscript based on your needs.
This update saves time and keeps your content looking professional without the need for cumbersome workarounds.
Step 2: Explore Advanced Text Formatting with Kerning
The next update is all about fine-tuning your text with kerning adjustments.
- Highlight Your Text: Select the word or phrase you want to adjust.
- Open Advanced Formatting: Just like in the previous step, you'll go to 'Advanced Formatting', but this time toggle over to 'Typography'.
- Adjust Kerning: Simply toggle the kerning option. It automatically optimises the spacing between characters, enhancing text flow and readability.
Kerning is particularly beneficial for logo designs or when using decorative fonts. It ensures the spacing is just right, saving you from tedious manual adjustments.
Step 3: Harness the Power of Image Editing with Selective Adjustments
The second major update brings selective adjustments to Canva's image editing suite. This provides unprecedented control over which parts of an image you modify.
- Select Your Image: Click on the image you wish to edit.
- Open Edit and Adjust: Go to the 'Edit' option and navigate to 'Adjust'.
- Select Specific Areas: Use the 'Select Area' option to choose the specific part of the image you want to adjust. You can focus on the foreground, background, or any distinct focal points.
- Make Your Adjustments: Whether it's brightness, contrast, or colour grading, apply your changes specifically to your selected area without affecting the whole image.
