Designing the same content separately for every platform — square post, story, print flyer — is one of the most repetitive parts of using Canva.
Magic Switch exists specifically to skip that repetition, rebuilding an existing design for a new size automatically.
Here's the trick:
Magic Switch rebuilds your layout for Instagram, print or presentation without starting over.
How to use it
- Open your finished design.
- Open the "..." menu (or File menu) and choose Magic Switch.
- Pick a new size or format — Instagram Story, A4 print, presentation, and so on.
- Review the generated version and adjust any element that didn't reflow exactly as expected.
Where it helps most
Turning one Instagram post into a story, a poster and a presentation slide, without rebuilding each one from a blank canvas.
One thing to watch for
Magic Switch reflows text and images automatically, but designs with a lot of precisely placed elements usually still need a short manual check afterward.
