Wondering how to create a table in Canva?
In this Canva tutorial for beginners, you'll learn all about tables in Canva, including how to insert
a table in a Canva presentation. So let's get right into these Canva tips
on how to use Canva tables so that you can add a table in your Canva design with ease.
First off, if you don't have a Canva account yet, just click on the link in the description box
below to sign up for free. There are three ways that you can make a table in Canva: by using Canva
elements, by drawing a table in Canva freehand and by using a Canva table template as a guide.
I already showed you how to make a table in Canva by drawing a table in Canva freehand
and by using a Canva table template as a guide in my video on 'how to create a table in Canva'
so if you haven't watched that yet, I'll leave the link to it in the description box below.
To make a table in Canva using Canva elements, after you've logged in to your Canva account,
either open up an existing Canva design you want to add a table in Canva to,
or create a new Canva design from scratch to then add a table to it.
To open up an existing document in Canva, click on 'your projects' from the left-hand side panel,
on 'designs' up top, and then locate the design you want to add a table in Canva to.
For guidance on how to create a new Canva design from scratch, make sure to check out
my Canva tutorials playlist, which is full of step-by-step Canva tutorials.
I'm going to open up this existing Canva design which has nothing on it to show you how to make
a table in Canva. To make a table in Canva using Canva elements, click on 'elements'
from the left-hand side panel, click on the search bar up top, and then search for 'table'.
There are three different kinds of tables in Canva that you can add: a table with just cells,
a table with a single header followed by cells, or a table with different focused headers followed by
cells. Let's click on this middle option so that I can show you how this table in Canva works.
The cool thing about this Canva table element is that it's completely customizable.
When you click on the table at large, you can then
customize it from these three first options from the white panel up top.
You can click on the color picker to customize your table's colors
by adding a new color, removing the color, selecting one of the document colors,
choosing one of your brand colors or choosing one of the default colors.
As this little crown denotes, adding your own brand kit with your brand colors is a
Canva Pro exclusive feature, which you can try out for free by clicking on the link
in the description box below. If you want to know how to customize those,
make sure to watch my video on ‘What Is A Canva Brand Kit + How To Customize A Canva
Pro Brand Kit’. I’ll leave the link to it in the description box below.
You can click on border to change the design of your table in Canva
to encompass all cells, just the border, just the interior, just the top,
just the rows, just the bottom, just the left, just the columns or just the right,
as well as change the border colors to a new color, one of the document colors, one of your
brand colors or one of the default colors, and the border weight to make it thicker or thinner.
You can click on table spacing to increase or decrease the table spacing,
in addition to increase or decrease the cell spacing.
If you take a look at the table in Canva, you can click on the three little dots above a column
to copy the table, paste the table, delete the table, delete the column,
add a column before, add a column after, move the column to the right, move the column to the left,
size rows equally, size rows to content, size columns to content, animate and comment.
If you click on the three little dots next to a row, you can copy the table,
paste the table, delete the table, delete the row, add a row before, add a row after,
move the row up, move the row down,
size columns equally, size rows to content, size columns to content, animate and comment.
When you hover your mouse on the top of the table in Canva, you can then click on the plus icon that
appears to easily add new columns to your table. You can also use the white dots around the table
to resize the entire table, and use the white dashes or arrows that point in both directions
to resize a particular column or row of your table in Canva.
To add content to your table in Canva, just double click on a cell,
and type in what you wish, be it text or a number. You can then double click on that content,
and edit it from the options that appear on the white panel up top. You can customize its font,
font size, color, appearance, alignment, add it to a list, edit its line spacing,
add an animation to it, and even click on the three little dots to underline it, make it
uppercase, change its position and transparency, add a link to it, lock it or duplicate it.
You can also use the two arrow options at the bottom of the table in Canva to rotate it
and to move it. Feel free to edit any other existing elements on this table in Canva design,
or to add new ones from the options on the left-hand side panel. For an entire walkthrough
of all of the available elements in Canva that you can add to your table in Canva design, make
sure to watch my video on ‘How To Use Canva’. I’ll leave the link to it in the description box below.
Once you're done making a table in Canva, rename your Canva design up top,
mine is already set to 'Table In Canva', and then click on the download button.
Click on the file type dropdown, and select which type of file you'd like
to save your table in Canva as: PNG, JPG, PDF standard, PDF print, SVG, MP4 video or GIF.
I'll select PNG as the file type, make sure that the size is set to 1,
leave the transparent background, compress file and save download settings boxes unticked, and
then click on the 'download' button at the bottom to save this table in Canva to your computer.
