Trying out a few different visual directions for the same design usually means manually changing colors, fonts and spacing one at a time, for every version.
Canva's Styles tab bundles all of that into ready-made options you can preview with a single click.
Here's the trick:
The Styles tab swaps colors, fonts and layout together in one click — your text and images stay put.
How to use it
- Finish placing your text and images in the design.
- Open the Styles tab, found among the same tabs as Templates and Elements.
- Browse the style suggestions Canva generates based on your current design.
- Click one to preview it, and click again or click elsewhere to keep it.
Where it helps most
Trying several visual directions quickly for the same design, without rebuilding the layout from scratch for each one.
One thing to watch for
Styles changes colors, fonts and sometimes shapes across the whole design. If you've already fine-tuned one specific element by hand, check it again after applying a style.
