Getting Started With Keynote: How To Create Your First Keynote Presentation

If you’re new to the Apple ecosystem, then you’re probably a stranger to Keynote, Apple’s very own presentation software. Don’t worry if you don’t know anything about it at this point, that’s what this article is for. So, stay tuned as I introduce you to this popular alternative to PowerPoint. You’ll learn how to navigate the Keynote workspace and later on, how to create your first Keynote presentation.

Why Use Keynote?

I’ve got a few good reasons why Keynote is an awesome presentation software for Mac users.

• It’s free and readily available

Keynote comes pre-installed on new Macs. You don’t need to download it, but if you need to, you can always download it for free on the App Store . For the PowerPoint (and Windows) faithful who’ve made the switch to Apple computers, you’re probably asking this very question right now:

“Why use Keynote when PowerPoint is available on Macs?”

Truthfully, the answer is you don’t have to. However, PowerPoint (and Microsoft Office) isn’t free. If you want to install PowerPoint on your Mac, then you’d need to buy a Microsoft Office license or a subscription to Office 365.

If you absolutely don’t need to use PowerPoint, then why not give Keynote a try? It’s pretty simple to use, it’s intuitive and it works great on Macs. Plus, it’s free, so you don’t need to spend extra cash just to use the app!

• It’s designed for Macs

Keynote was designed by Apple for Apple. This means you’re not going to find Keynote on Windows or Linux or any other operating system. Apple is known for the quality of their products and Keynote is no different. It’s sleek, sexy, easy on the eyes, and it’s fairly easy to use.

For those saying they’d stick to PowerPoint on their Mac, that’s absolutely fine. But if you’re expecting your Mac PowerPoint experience to be on par with your Windows experience, then you’re going to be disappointed. The Mac version lacks many of the newer features you’ll find on Windows. And frankly, it’s just not as good as the Windows version.

If you need to use PowerPoint on Mac, I recommend you use Boot Camp or install third-party software like Parallels Desktop . This is so you can run Windows apps natively on your Mac.

• It’s user-friendly

Apple products are designed to work out of the box. It’s one of the reasons why many people swear by Apple products. You don’t need to be a designer to use Keynote. The interface is clean, intuitive and relatively simple. Sure, there’s a bit of a learning curve, but it’s nowhere near the time you need to spend to master PowerPoint.

If you’re coming from PowerPoint, you may even think Keynote is too simple. But that’s why Keynote users love it – they don’t need to overthink their slide designs. You may not have granular control over every single aspect of your presentation (and this may be a no-no for diehard PowerPoint users), but plenty of Keynote users don’t mind. When all is said and done, they know they’ll have a great-looking presentation.

• Works on all Apple devices

If you’ve invested heavily into the Apple ecosystem, then Keynote should be your presentation software of choice. Why? Because you’re not limited to using just one device to edit your slides. You can work on your slides on your MacBook, iMac, iPad, and even your iPhone! You can even access your Keynote file on non-Apple devices – simply fire up a web browser and go to iCloud Keynote!

• It’s PowerPoint-friendly

Ah yes, PowerPoint users need this reassurance. You’ve probably been burned in the past when PowerPoint and Keynote didn’t play too well with each other. And you had all sorts of problems trying to sort out compatibility issues.

Well, it’s 2019 now. According to Apple themselves, they’ve redesigned Keynote to work better with Microsoft Office products. They regularly update the software too to ensure better compatibility.

Here’s an article detailing the compatibility of Keynote with PowerPoint. You’ll notice there are more ticks in the Supported and Partially Supported columns than the Not Supported one. So, hurray for PowerPoint and Keynote fans!

Getting Started With Keynote

Now that you know just how awesome Keynote is, I’m going to give you a rundown of the software’s interface. To get started with Keynote, launch the app from the Launchpad or look for it in the Dock. You’ll then see the theme chooser (see screenshot below). Choose whether you want to use a standard (4:3) or wide (16:9) theme.

Note : If you don’t see the theme chooser above, press the Option key on your keyboard and click File > New to open a new Keynote file. The theme chooser will then appear on your screen.

Navigating the Keynote workspace isn’t as hard as it looks. The interface is relatively cleaner and simpler than PowerPoint. This is what the Toolbar looks like:

As you can see above, I’ve divided the Toolbar into 5 different parts. Here’s a run-down of what each part does:

1 – This is the navigation panel. As you can see, there are 3 buttons in this section (View, Zoom, and Add Slide):

• Under View , you can decide whether you want to use the Navigator view (default), Slide Only view, Light Table view, or Outline view. This is also where you go to edit the Master Slides, show object list, and more.

• You can also Zoom in or out of whatever view you’ve selected. If you don’t want to mess around with the percentages, you can always click on Fit Slide .

• Lastly, you can click on the Add Slide button to, well, obviously, add a slide. However, this is where it gets interesting. When you add a slide, Keynote doesn’t automatically add a blank slide (like PowerPoint). Instead, you get to choose the slide layout you want to use.

2 – This section consists of the Play and Keynote Live buttons.

• Clicking on the Play button will play your slideshow.
• Hit Keynote Live if you want to present a live slideshow to anyone in the world. Your audience can watch your presentation on any Apple or iOS device, or any browser connected to the Internet.

Note you’ll need to be connected to iCloud for this feature to work. Once you’re logged in, you can copy and paste the link to your slideshow and send it to your audience. You can also lock your presentation with a password if you’re concerned about security.

3 – In this section, you can choose from 6 different elements you can add to your slides. You can add a table , chart , text , shape , media (images, videos, audio) and comment . The first 5 elements are largely self-explanatory.

For the 6 th element (comments), these are helpful if you’re collaborating with somebody else. You can have a chat in real-time about your ideas and any changes you want to make to the design. In case you’re wondering, the comments won’t appear in your actual presentation.

4 – If you’re collaborating with other people, then you simply need to click the Collaborate button. You can specify who can access your Keynote and their permission level. Here’s what it looks like:

5 – The fifth section is where you go to edit the properties of all the elements and slides in your presentation. You can see 3 options or buttons here: Format , Animate and Document .

• Format. To format your slide itself, click on a blank space on your slide. You’ll be able to change your slide layout here as well as edit the Master Slide. You can also change the appearance of your slide (change background appearance, etc.).
• Format an element . The format menu options will change according to the element you click on. Say, for instance, you click on a text, then the formatting options for text will appear on your screen. If you click on a photo, then the image formatting options will appear, and so on.
• Animate (Slide Transition) . If you want to add animations when you transition from one slide to another, this is the correct button to click. Slide transitions are categorized into four: (1) Appear & Move, (2) Flip, Spin & Scale, (3) Object Effects, and (4) Text Effects. You can adjust the duration, color, delay, and more, of your selected effect.
• Animate (Element Effect) . You can choose to add a Build In effect, an Action effect, and a Build Out effect for your elements.
• Document . Click on this button to change your document settings. In here, you can adjust your Slideshow Settings, Presentation Type, Slide Size and more. Additionally, you can also record your slideshow in the Audio tab and add a Soundtrack . This is great if you plan on playing your slideshow in conference kiosks (self-playing) or converting your Keynote to video.

Additional Keynote options

You’re probably wondering if that’s all that Keynote can do. Well, of course not! In addition to the Toolbar, you can also access more settings and features in the Menu bar. You’ll see this at the very top of your screen:

If you think the default Toolbar lacks some important feature, and you don’t want to go looking for it in the Menu bar every time you want to use it, then you may want to customize the toolbar.

Here’s how you do it:

Go to View > Customize Toolbar . You can drag and drop your most frequently used buttons to the toolbar. For example, if you find yourself frequently using the Group and Ungroup options, then you may want to drag it into your toolbar so you can group/ungroup elements with just a single click. If you’re very particular about the size of your fonts, then add the Bigger and Smaller buttons to your toolbar.

The good thing about customizing your toolbar is that you can always go back to the default settings. If you find yourself wanting to go back to the original toolbar menu, then go back into the Customize Toolbar menu again.

As you can see on the screenshot above, there’s an option to drag the default set into the toolbar . Don’t forget to hit the blue Done button when you’re finished.

Using iCloud Keynote

If you want the ability to edit your Keynote presentation on other devices, then log in to iCloud on your Mac. Go into System Preferences and click on iCloud . You’ll see this on your screen:

Type in your Apple ID and password if you already have one. If not, click on Create Apple ID .

Now that your Mac is logged in to iCloud, all your photos, contacts and documents (including Keynote files) will be stored in iCloud. This means if you have an iPhone or iPad, and you’re logged in using the same Apple ID, then all the files uploaded to iCloud will automatically appear in your Apple devices. So, you can create your Keynote on your MacBook or iMac, and then continue editing on your iPad or iPhone. Awesome, right?

But what about if you need to need to make last-minute changes to your presentation and you don’t have an Apple device nearby? Will all your hard work go to waste? Thankfully, not.

Just open a web browser on any computer and go to https://icloud.com . You’ll see this prompt on your screen:

Once you’re logged in to iCloud, you’ll see this menu on your screen:

Click on Keynote and you’ll be able to see all the Keynote files you’ve made on other iCloud-linked devices. If you want to create a new file, click on Create Presentation .

Just like in the desktop version of Keynote, you’ll see the Theme Chooser menu on your screen:

Click on the theme you want to use. A new tab will automatically open on your browser. This what the iCloud Keynote workspace looks like:

As you can see, it looks almost exactly the same as the desktop version. You’ve got the View and Zoom icons, the Play slideshow button, the 6 element types you can add to your slides (table, chart, text, shape, media, comment), the collaborate icon, and the format and animate button.

At a quick glance, however, you can see that the Keynote Live and Document icons are missing on the toolbar. Unfortunately, like most web-based presentation software, iCloud Keynote also has its drawbacks. A number of features from the desktop app are missing.

For instance, once you’ve selected your theme on iCloud Keynote, you’re going to have to stick with it. You simply don’t have the option to change it to another theme.

For this example, I used the Artisan theme in the screenshot above. I wanted to change it to the Gradient theme, but iCloud Keynote doesn’t have the Document button (available on the desktop version) that allows you to change themes and slide sizes.

There’s also no option to edit the Master Slides. While there’s a Media button, you’re limited to adding images only. This means inserting videos and audio files are not going to be possible on iCloud Keynote. Formatting options are also limited, so keep this in mind when creating and editing slides on the web.

The good news, however, is that iCloud integration is fantastic. You can create your slides in iCloud Keynote. Once you get your hands on an Apple computer, you can just edit your file on the desktop app. iCloud Keynote is great for editing presentations while you’re on the go. For maximum control, however, Keynote desktop is the way to go.

Tips to Make Your First Keynote Presentation a Standout

Even the most novice of Keynote users can make something stunning in just a few minutes. How? Well, if you haven’t noticed, Keynote’s built-in themes already look great. So, really, if you’re in a hurry, you can just choose one of the themes from the Theme Chooser. Then, select the layouts you want to use and replace the placeholders with your own content!

But, of course, if you truly want to make your keynote presentation a standout, then it’s best to actually put some time and effort into making one that your audience is going to love. So, here are some tips you can use to impress your audience and make sure your message is heard loud and clear.

• Keep text to a minimum

No matter what presentation software you use, it’s best to keep text to a minimum. You don’t want to copy and paste several sentences or a few paragraphs in your slides. You don’t want your audience to just read your slides. If you do this, then there’s really no incentive for them to listen anymore, is there?

As the popular saying goes, “less is more.” Strive to have a simple presentation instead of going for all the bells and whistles you can think of. Your audience isn’t there to read, they’re there to listen to your presentation.

Think of your slides as mere visual aids. They’re there to make your presentation more interesting. They’re supposed to help your audience understand your main points.

• Use the right font

Different fonts convey different emotions. There are fonts that look professional. Then there are those that look fun. There are even retro fonts and scary-looking fonts (perfect for Halloween-themed presentations).

Adding new fonts to your Keynote presentation is relatively quick and easy. You’ve got two ways:

• You can download a font package and add it to Font Book . You can look for this app in your Applications folder or you can search for it using Spotlight (press both Command + Spacebar ). Click the (+) icon in Font Book and locate where you saved the downloaded font. Your new font will now appear in the Font dropdown in Keynote.

• The second option is to download an app called SkyFonts . You can download and install fonts from Google Fonts, Fonts.com, Monotype and MyFonts. Personally, I prefer this option because you don’t need to download the fonts to your computer. These are stored in the cloud and you can easily remove the fonts you’re no longer using.

Just a word of caution though. If you intend to download fancy fonts and use different devices to edit your Keynote slides, then you may be in for a shock. The fonts in iCloud Keynote are predefined, so whatever font you install on your Mac isn’t going to appear in iCloud Keynote.

• Use high-quality graphics

As the old cliché goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. You can put a picture on a slide, and it will tell the audience its own story. All without you needing to say a single word about it. That’s how powerful images are.

So, one of the first things you need to do once you figure out what you’re going to say in your presentation is to look for an image that will perfectly capture your main points. It doesn’t have to be an original photo or one that you took yourself.

You can use photos as background for your slides or you can use it as the main subject. The good news is there are millions of free images on the web. You just need to know where to look. Places like Unsplash , StockSnap and ISO Republic all offer high-quality images for free.

• Utilize white space

A busy-looking slide will only distract your audience. They won’t know exactly where to look. But if you have plenty of white space on your slides, then you can direct their attention to whatever you’re showing on screen.

Contrary to popular belief, white space doesn’t actually need to be white. It can be any color that will fit in well with your theme. For instance, take a look at the screenshot below. There’s a lot of blank space on the slide – this is what’s known as white space.

As you can see, it’s easy to follow what the slide above is trying to say. Doodling helps stimulates the brain, helps to see the big picture, improves learning, and helps to organize knowledge. The graphics used are simple enough to understand.

• Use third-party themes and templates

There’s obviously nothing wrong with using the built-in themes and templates on Keynote. But, if you want to stand out from the crowd of similar-looking presentations, then it’s best to use something else that not a lot of people are using. This is where third-party themes and templates come in.

You can download themes and templates that are made specifically for Keynote . Or you can use those that are made for PowerPoint! Surprised? Yes, PowerPoint templates do work on Keynote!

How To Use PowerPoint Templates For Your Keynote Presentations

To use PPT templates for Keynote, all you have to do is fire up Keynote, click on Open, then look for the PowerPoint file. If there are compatibility issues, Keynote will give you a list of things that may look different.

For this example, I downloaded one of our free templates, the Competitor PowerPoint Template pack. Note that you need to create a free account so you can download any of our templates.

Most PPT templates when opened in Keynote will probably have a few issues. I saw a couple of slides which needed a bit of editing. Here’s an example:

For the most part, however, the majority of slides looked great on Keynote! Here’s a screenshot of slides 5-10:

As you can see, the slides look really good. All you need to do is just edit and replace the placeholder content with your own, and you’re good to go! You can then save the file as a Keynote presentation or export it to another format.

Final Words

Apple users, rejoice! You’ve got a free and very capable presentation software on your hands. You don’t need to spend extra cash just to use PowerPoint. As you’ve learned in this article, Keynote is relatively easy to use. You’ll be able to create your first Keynote presentation in no time at all!

10 Expert Tips to Create and Deliver a Killer Keynote Presentation

So you’ve got a keynote presentation coming up, and you’re hitting the books to make sure you’re armed with the best plan possible. Besides taking notes from all the greats on TED, you’re reading up about a message structure that works, and looking for the perfect template.

While it seems like you’ve got your bases covered, like all things in life, there’s always a way to streamline the planning process.

According to Aaron Weyenberg , the UX Lead for TED and a self-professed “master of slide decks,” and the wizards behind Apple’s presentation slides , there are a number of tricks of the trade that you can rely on to create a rocking keynote presentation .

Below are some of our favorites. And to easily create a professional-looking presentation , sign up for Piktochart . It’s free and it allows you to make beautiful visuals without being a graphic designer.

1. Do your slides last

While most keynote speakers will typically build their presentation around the structure of a template, Weyenberg says that “building your slides should be the tail end of developing your presentation.” Before working on your slides, you should put together your main message, structure, supporting points – then practice and time your presentation. The reason for this, he says, is that the presentation needs to be strong enough to stand on its own. Approaching a keynote like this requires a shift in thinking.

While a beautiful set of slides is imperative to your presentation, it should not be central to it.

Weyenberg said it best: “The slides are just something you layer over [the presentation] to enhance the listener experience.”

Observe these 2017 Google I/O keynotes, especially CEO Sundar Pichai’s – the role of the slides are to support what the speaker is saying – not the other way around.

2. Get creative with photos

Often times, presenters will be far too literal or cheesy with their image choice. Weyenberg suggests to use images that are simple, yet punchy – and pairs nicely with your spoken words. He says to look for photos that are:

• Related to your keynote’s concept
• Are not complex in terms of composition

3. Simplify charts and graphs

While most presenters will simply drop an image of their charts and graphs into their deck, Weyenberg points out that it might be a bit “unsightly.” If you need to use data to back a point that you’re making, you should make the extra effort to make it more attractive – and this can be done by recreating it in your presentation maker .

There are a couple benefits to doing this:

• It will make your presentation seem consistent and well-thought out
• You’ll have control over colors, typography, and more.

4. One theme per slide

According to the designers of Apple presentation slides, less is certainly more. Trying to cram too many ideas on one slide can only work to your detriment. Beyond ideas, the same goes for statistics.

Let’s play a little game: For the following idea, how many slides would you use? “The developer program is incredibly vibrant. We have over six million registered developers. Demand for this show has never been greater. We sold out in just over a minute [71 seconds].”

While the average person might think that 6 million and 71 seconds would belong on the same slide and be short and sweet enough, let’s compare it with what Apple’s CEO Tim Cook did.

He only leveraged two slides: The first said “6 million,” and the second: “71 seconds. Sold out.”

5. Create a visual experience with data

Taking a leaf again from Apple’s presentation book, once you’ve gotten the hang of having just one stat per slide – you should also make it as visual as possible.

One data point per slide, combined with it being visually interesting – is sure to be memorable.

6. Practice Really Makes Perfect

Imagine the late Steve Jobs, a legendary keynote presenter, still rehearsed for months before a presentation. According to Brent Schlender , one of the co-authors behind the Steve Jobs biography “Becoming Steve Jobs,” Jobs would rehearse and prepare “exhaustively” for all of his public appearances.

Despite being a natural on the stage, Jobs never would wing it, he came to the show well prepared.

“I once spent an entire day watching him run through multiple rehearsals of a single presentation, tweaking everything from the color and angle of certain spotlights, to editing and rearranging the order of the keynote presentation slides to improve his pacing,” remembers Schlender.

While you may not be a perfectionist like Jobs, you are likely also not nearly as good of a presenter as he is – so practice really makes perfect in this case.

7. Tell A Consistent Story

Circling back to Weyenberg’s tips – he suggests that in a good slide deck, every slide should feel “like part of the same story.” Think of your deck like a story – every slide should feel cohesive to the big picture message you’re trying to communicate – as opposed to random ideas juxtaposed together.

You can do this by:

• Using the same or similar typography, colors, and imagery across all slides
• Using presentation templates can help with maintaining the same look and feel

8. Less is more

We explored the less is more concept earlier in the article by suggesting you keep to one idea per slide. The same can be applied to text.

When it comes to creating slides for your next keynote, the cardinal sin is a slide with ample text that is verbatim of your spoken presentation.

What this does is encourage people to keep their eyes on your slides instead of listening to you.

Weyenberg also points out that a text-heavy slide forces the brain to multitask between focusing on what it’s reading and hearing – which is quite difficult and will compromise your presentation.

9. Consider topic transitions

While you want to make your slides look like a cohesive unit, you want to also keep in mind that making every slide look the same may be boring. Weyenberg suggests to:

• Create one style for the slides that are the “meat” of the message
• Then create another style for the slides that are transitioning between topics

For example, if your overall slides have a dark background with light text, you can use transitional slides that have a light background with dark text. This way, they’ll still feel like they’re from the same presentation family without being completely uniform.

10. Tell a captivating story

It is fitting that our final tip comes from likely the greatest keynote presenter of all time. The late and great Steve Jobs had the ability to captivate and inspire his audience with his talks, and that’s because he was a very good storyteller. And that’s the golden leaf that you can take from Jobs’ book today.

Always aim to tell a captivating story.

One example is perhaps when he introduced the iPod: “In 2001, we introduced the first iPod. It didn’t just change the way we all listen to music. It changed the entire music industry.” Listen to Steve Jobs weave a story about the digital music revolution when unveiling the iPod.

Bonus Round: Tips From Piktochart Designers  

• Always remember that your audience is sitting far away . So ensure that your title font size is large enough to be seen from a distance, and that your body text is no smaller than 20px.
• Use only two colors for your entire presentation – a primary and secondary color. If you must use a large color palette, your maximum choice should be up to five colors.
• Make sure that there is enough white space throughout your presentation . This will give your content room to breathe. Less is definitely more in this case.
• Emphasize only one object per slide – whether it’s an image, statistic, quote. This will make sure your audience stays focused.

6 Quick Tips for Creating a Keynote Presentation

If you’re new to Keynote and making presentation slideshows, these quick tips will help you get a head start!

1. Get a Great Template

Keynote app comes with a set of simple default templates for creating different types of presentations. These templates are the ones used in most presentation slideshows because many people don’t realize they can actually use third-party templates to design better slideshows.

If you want to make a set of professional slides with designs that stand out from the crowd, you should always avoid the default templates and use a third-party template. These templates are designed by professionals and you can import them to Keynote with just a few clicks.

2. Follow the K.I.S.S. Method

Once you pick a design for your slides, you can start thinking about the content layout. If you pick a great template, you’ll find plenty of slides with content layouts already designed for you. If not, simply follow the Keep It Stupid Simple (KISS) method.

You can never go wrong with a clean and simple content layout for a slideshow. With a minimal design, you use fewer text paragraphs, fewer images, and lots of white space. This kind of design gives full attention to the most important part of a presentation—it’s content!

3. Use Images Where Appropriate

Using images in a slideshow can not only help make your presentations more visually appealing but it also allows you to add better context to your written content.

Depending on the type of presentation you’re making, you should pick slide designs that are appropriate. For example, if you’re making a portfolio slideshow, you should pick a slide design that allows you to include large previews of images.

4. Add Graphs, Charts, and Infographics

Mentioning the statistics from research studies is a great way to validate the points you make in your presentations. However, if you visualize the data it will help make a bigger impact.

Many professional Keynote presentation templates come packed with charts, graphs, diagrams, and infographics that allow you to showcase data in visual form. Use those elements in your presentations.

5. Choose the Right Font

Using a bold and attractive font that also improve readability is another important aspect of designing a professional presentation slideshow.

Thankfully, most pre-made Keynote templates feature great free fonts that you can use with your own slideshow designs. Or try to download a better font and use it instead of resorting to the default fonts on your Mac.

6. Limit the Use of Color

When it comes to designing presentations for specific industries and topics like marketing, business reports, and pitch decks, it’s best to use a simple color palette with fewer colors.

Adding too many colors throughout your presentation design can often break consistency and send a bad impression of your brand and your company. Instead, use a clean and minimal design.

Did you know that you can also export your Keynote presentations as Full HD Quicktime videos? Just go to File > Export To > and select QuickTime to save your entire presentation as a video. Or Play your presentation and press Record to record your presentation with a voiceover into a video file that you can play to an audience.

3 Reasons to Choose Keynote over PowerPoint

Not sure if Keynote is the right choice for you? Here are 3 reasons to try the great Apple software.

1. It’s Free!

Keynote app comes bundled with your Apple device for free. Whether you have a MacBook, iPhone, or iPad, you can install and use Keynote free of charge to design presentations.

Microsoft PowerPoint, on the other hand, requires a subscription. The Office 365 personal plan costs $69.99 per year.

2. Amazing Animations

One of the PowerPoint features Micorosft neglected to update is its animations. Over the years, the animations and transition effects in PowerPoint have always been clunky and unprofessional. Except for a very few animations.

Keynote features a set of smooth animations and transition effects that adds a professional touch to your presentations.

3. Beginner-Friendly User Interface

PowerPoint has one of the most complicated user interfaces in the entire suite of Microsoft Office apps. The UI is filled with options and features people barely use and it interferes with everyone’s user experience.

Apple Keynote features a clean and user-friendly user interface that’s easier to get around, even for complete beginners.

Pro Speakers on How to Give a Perfect Keynote Presentation

Updated: January 13, 2021

Published: November 03, 2020

Two years ago, I was asked to give a presentation about my HubSpot article on emotional marketing . It was by far the most exhilarating and nerve-wracking experience of my professional life.

I don’t necessarily hate public speaking. However, leading up to the event, I felt the full responsibility of not only delivering a good presentation but also teaching the audience valuable , actionable information — and that was very intimidating.

I wanted to do a good job, and I wanted to be a good teacher.

Therein lies the importance of keynote presentations : to be effective, they should be educational and entertaining. Do you have a keynote presentation in your future? Read on for some advice from professional speakers.

First, what is a keynote presentation? Glad you asked.

You may also be tasked with a keynote presentation in order to secure funding, make a sale, or update stakeholders or executives. Whatever stage you find yourself on, delivering a keynote presentation is an important responsibility as a public speaker.

How to Give a Perfect Keynote Presentation, According to the Experts

I spoke with four professional speakers on how to deliver a near-perfect presentation. Here are five pieces of advice they shared.

1. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.

When it comes to public speaking, practice quite literally makes perfect. Every expert I spoke with mentioned how frequently they rehearse their presentations.

“However much you think you need to rehearse, rehearse 10 times more than that. When you show up to a concert, you expect that the musicians know their songs, and you certainly don't want the first time they try to play it to be right there on stage. You owe your audience and the folks hiring you to speak the same respect,” said Melanie Deziel , international keynote speaker and founder of StoryFuel . (She received this advice herself from Michael and Amy Port at Heroic Public Speaking .)

As more presentations and events become fully virtual, the likelihood of technical difficulties also grows. Rehearsing your content can help you weather any interruptions or last-minute changes.

Rehearsal not only leads to content mastery; it allows freedom in your presentations. “The more you rehearse and become comfortable with the content, the freer you'll be to take chances, experiment, and truly focus on your delivery, rather than trying to remember what comes next,” shared Deziel.

How do these experts recommend practicing your presentations? “[Use] a mirror,” said Olivia Scott , keynote speaker and founder of Omerge Alliances . “I take the time to see how I'm being received, I look at my body posture, and I look at everything to make sure that I feel good about what I'm delivering. This isn’t exactly a tool or technology, but it's a way to practice and rehearse.”

Additionally, consider asking friends, family, and trusted colleagues to listen to your practice runs and provide feedback on your presentation.

2. Ask for feedback.

Speaking of feedback, expert orators know to ask for it on a regular basis — from friends, peer groups, mentors, audience members, and clients. “Find a support crew and connect with other speakers in the industry,” mentioned Karen Hopper , keynote speaker and data strategist at M+R. Hopper personally recommends Shine Bootcamp , which provided her with lifelong friendships, helpful feedback, and a priceless education about public speaking.

Provided by Karen Hopper

“We help each other with feedback on our pitches, topics, outlines, and presentations, and we celebrate each others' wins,'' said Hopper. “ ... It’s well worth surrounding yourself with people who will cheer for you and who will give you honest feedback — the fastest way to get better is to ruthlessly seek out that feedback.”

Clients can also be an incredibly helpful source of feedback. If you’re asked to speak at an event or conference, consider asking the people who hired you. “I ask my client for their reaction immediately after every presentation. It’s important to know how they felt, and whether the presentation achieved their goals. Every time my client is happy, that’s my most successful presentation,” said Jeff Toister , keynote speaker, author, and customer service expert.

Lastly, the best feedback often comes from the source — in this case, your audience. Whether you ask questions during your presentation (which we’ll discuss next) or ask for feedback following your presentation, it’s never a bad idea to know what your audience thought about your keynote.

Feedback may look different if giving a remote keynote presentation, but it's still possible.

“It’s been a creative challenge to adapt a talk I'd hoped to give in person to work in a virtual environment. It's much harder to tell how your talks are received online, without being able to see nodding and note-taking and hear laughter and clapping. But all the feedback I have received [over email] indicated that my talk successfully changed the way many people are thinking about their content idea generation process, and that was the ultimate goal of the talk: to change how people think ,” shared Deziel, referring to her recent keynote at Content Marketing World 2020.

3. Engage your audience.

Nobody likes being talked at . Sure, delivering a keynote presentation involves you doing most of the talking, but it doesn’t have to be a one-way conversation. Many of the experts I interviewed encouraged some sort of audience engagement or interaction to enhance your presentation.

“People love to be involved in a presentation. Rather than explain a concept to my audience, I find a way to have them experience it,” said Toister. “For example, when I share how multitasking hurts productivity and causes us to make more errors, I have the audience try a brief multitasking exercise so they can experience the problem themselves.”

Did you know that audience engagement levels drop considerably (14%) if a presenter does most of the talking, versus if the audience talks just as much? Moreover, 64% of people believe that a presentation with two-way interaction is much more engaging than a one-way presentation.

Presentation engagement also takes practice — just like your presentation content itself. “ ... Entertainment comes from the performance itself: the way in which you deliver that content and the energy you bring to that delivery. This is a separate skill you need to practice. Work with a coach, watch back recordings of yourself to identify opportunities to improve your craft, and watch videos of top-notch comedians, poets and other speakers to see what you can learn from them,” encouraged Deziel.

Lastly, as important as engagement is, don’t let technology stand in the way. While smartphones and polling software can make audience interaction easier, they can also get in the way of you connecting with your audience. “I prefer to just have people stand up, raise their hand, or clap to participate in the poll. It gets the audience moving, and I don’t have to worry about WiFi connections or whether the polling software is working,” said Toister.

4. Prioritize your content as much as the delivery.

While entertaining and interacting with your audience is helpful and exciting, it shouldn’t take precedence over your presentation content itself. “Nearly all of what the audience can learn from you comes from the content: the stories you tell, the examples you share, the facts you cite and the other information you explain. Carefully crafting those materials and testing it out ensures that the audience will get the information they were promised from your session,” said Deziel.

Tools like PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, and Canva can help you hone your content and develop a story within your presentation. A 2018 Prezi study (another presentation tool option) showed that 90% of people believe a strong narrative makes for a more engaging, interesting presentation. Data can help form arguments and explain facts, but stories stay with your audience long after your time on stage.

Storytelling is yet another way to engage with your audience, especially by evoking emotions like humor. “It’s entertaining to ask questions, saying, ‘Can anyone relate to this? Has anyone ever had this type of experience before?’ and then getting them involved with some laughter around those experiences. Laughter always helps,” said Scott, who presented at INBOUND 2020 .

Hopper, who was also a Breakout Speaker at INBOUND 2020, agreed: “Don't be afraid to be funny or drop in jokes — there are studies that show that laughing actually helps your brain retain information better, so not only will your audience have a good time laughing with you, but they'll also get more out of your presentation. It’s a win-win!”

5. Focus on the audience.

Finally, everyone can agree that public speaking is either revered or feared. If you relate to the latter and find yourself nervous when giving presentations, turn your focus on the audience.

“Speakers easily get nervous when they focus on themselves and worry too much about their own performance. Focusing on your audience first takes the nerves away and redirects your attention to making sure your audience gets something of value from your keynote,” shared Toister.

That’s the goal of a keynote presentation — to provide value to your audience. Regardless of what story you’re telling, what tools you’re using, or how you’re engaging the crowd, as long as you deliver a presentation that inspires your audience to think differently — even for 30 minutes — you’ve given a perfect keynote presentation.

PowerPoint vs. Keynote vs. Google Slides: Best Presentation Software?

What's the best presentation software for your next project? Discover the answer in our detailed comparison of PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides.

Choosing the best presentation software is a big decision. Your presentation needs to look good. And to make it look good, you need the right tool. The presentation software you choose makes a difference. In this article, we’ll compare PowerPoint vs. Google Slides vs. Keynote.

As a creative, you’ll likely need to give presentations. Maybe it’s to win new business, pitch your team on a design, or build awareness with a marketing deck.

Presentation software allows you to create professional slide presentations. A slide presentation allows the presenter to share information. Initially, slide presentations were geared towards live audiences. Now, slide presentations are just as likely to be delivered to a web audience and published online.

In this article, we compare three of the most popular presentation packages: PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides. We’ll dig into some of the pros and cons of each app.

Also, we’ll link to helpful resources to help you get started quickly, no matter which tool you choose. Finally, we’ll point out some strong template choices to help you make the best use of your presentation software and get started quickly. Let’s dive in.

No matter which software package you use, one way to ensure professional results is by choosing a high-quality template. A template determines the look and feel of your presentation. The right template can elevate it to a truly professional presentation .

The Top Presentation Software Compared

As we dive into the top presentation apps, let’s do a bit of research on top apps. To do that, we’ll use Google Trends. As you can see, PowerPoint’s popularity has held steady as the global leader, although Google Slides continues its popularity.

The closeness of the data for PowerPoint vs. Google Slides may surprise you. Google Slides experienced a huge boom in traffic in 2020 and continues its popularity. However, it still trails PowerPoint. Keynote has a more limited share, remaining mostly flat over the last few years.

This is the worldwide trend, so let’s consider search patterns in the United States. As you can see below, Google Slides is often more popular than PowerPoint in the United States from the perspective of search traffic. At the time of writing, they are roughly equal. Keynote, like the worldwide pattern, is lower but a steady constant.

Now, in this chart, we break down the main differences between PowerPoint vs. Keynote vs. Google Slides. Then we’ll dig into each presentation software in more detail to help you choose between them.

Let’s take a closer look at each presentation software package. We’ll compare PowerPoint vs. Google Slides, as well as Keynote vs. PowerPoint.

1. PowerPoint

As part of the Microsoft Office suite, PowerPoint has been one of the most popular presentation software packages for years. It’s got a large number of themes. Support is widely available through both Microsoft and through user-created resources.

Because it’s an established software package, PowerPoint has many advantages for the small business owner. Those pros include:

• Ease of Use . The navigation structure will be familiar to anyone who uses other Microsoft software. It includes a help system and even some basic tutorials. You can also use Microsoft’s technical support.
• Customization Options . PowerPoint includes a large number of special effects. There are also many themes available, some through Microsoft and some through third parties like Envato .
• File Types Supported . This software presentation package can import and export a large number of file types. It’s compatible with files from other Microsoft Office products. It also lets you integrate audio files.
• Community Support . Due to the large number of users, there are many articles and books to help you learn how to use the tool effectively.
• Integration with Office Apps. If you use Microsoft Excel for data and analysis, it’s a breeze to drop data tables and charts from Excel right into your PowerPoint presentation.
• Artificial intelligence. Microsoft recently launched Copilot, an AI assistant that works in PowerPoint.
• Mobile apps. Available for free, the mobile apps on iOS and Android are the perfect way to take your work with you and not lose your productivity streak.

Despite its many advantages, there are still some weaknesses:

• Collaboration . Recently, PowerPoint has improved the ability to collaborate in real time. However, when you compare Google Slides vs. PowerPoint’s collaboration, PowerPoint lags. To work with another user, you must save the document to OneDrive and invite the people you want to collaborate with.
• Web apps. While Microsoft has a browser-based version of PowerPoint, it’s not as fully featured or as seamless as Google Slides, for example.
• Perception . Some users report that PowerPoint leads to less creative presentations. This is probably because many businesses rely on older, more basic templates that don’t use the most recent features.

PowerPoint Gains (Artificial) Intelligence

One of the big advantages of PowerPoint is the fact that Microsoft has already incorporated AI. As you compare PowerPoint vs. Keynote and Google Slides, note that Microsoft added AI first!

The recently launched Copilot AI assistant works inside PowerPoint. It helps you analyze data and style your presentations. Get a full walkthrough of AI in PowerPoint .

6 Quick Tips for Getting Started in PowerPoint

When you decide to use PowerPoint, you may be wondering how to get started. By embracing these six quick tips, you’ll get ideas and be ready to build slides fast:

1. Add Multimedia for Engaging Presentations

Your PowerPoint presentation can be so much more than simple slides. You can add an incredible range of audio, video, and animations. These help you better engage your audience.

Learn more about the power of adding audio and video to your PowerPoint presentation below:

• How to Add Audio to PowerPoint (Free PowerPoint Template Included)
• How to Embed a Video in PowerPoint (With Free Template)

2. Choose a Template to Meet Your Needs

When you’ve opted for PowerPoint, it pays to start by using a template. And not just any template. You’ll save more time and impress more people by choosing a themed template.

Presenting on real estate? Choose a real estate template! Opt for a food-inspired design if you’re sharing slides about a new restaurant. The Envato library has thousands of PPT templates with custom themes.

These themed templates also help give you design inspiration. Slide designs are tailored around a specific topic. As you build out your designs, you may think of things to share that otherwise you wouldn’t have considered. A themed premium template is truly a win-win.

3. Animate Your Slides

Static, unmoving PowerPoint slides aren’t very interesting. Why not add a little spice by using animations to control how text and objects appear and disappear on a slide? They’re easy to add and use.

Animations are stylish, and they help you control the flow of your presentation. For example, you can add a simple Fly In effect to bring bullet points onto a slide, one by one.

Sound intriguing? Learn more with our full tutorial .

4. Build Stylish Illustrated Layouts

PowerPoint layouts should have a few things in common:

• They should be stylish. You need to use eye-catching designs that grab (and keep) an audience’s focus.
• Slide layouts should also be neat and uncluttered. Add too much content and you’ll have a messy, distracting presentation.

Using plenty of images is a great way to build winning layouts. Photos and graphics boost visual interest in a flash. They help you style content in new and creative ways.

5. Keep Formats Consistent With Format Painter

When you’re working in PowerPoint, it pays to maintain a clean and consistent look. This means preserving styles and formats from one slide to the next. But you may not have a ton of time when you’re building slides.

Fortunately, PowerPoint’s Format Painter feature is there to help. Format Painter lets you seamlessly copy formats from one section of a slide deck to another. For example, you can mirror text highlights from one slide to another.

To learn how, read our MS PowerPoint Format Painter guide .

6. Use Infographics and Charts

As you present in PowerPoint, try to illustrate your ideas. A compelling option is to use infographics and charts. These are especially useful if you’re talking through numerical data.

Infographics are illustrations that use graphics to convey information. They’re a hallmark of premium templates. Often, you’ll find dozens of options in a single deck. You can easily swap out the placeholder details with your own data. Infographics are a top way to bring your ideas to life.

The app offers a stylish interface that’s easy to use. Keynote remote works on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod. While the support isn’t quite as extensive as what’s available for PowerPoint, there are still a lot of resources available.

If you’re already a macOS user, Keynote just might be the best presentation software for your business needs. As you evaluate PowerPoint vs. Keynote, these comparisons can help you weigh your options. Here are some of the pros of Keynote:

• Ease of Use . Like many macOS apps, Keynote features an intuitive, user-friendly interface. The Apple version of PowerPoint puts design at the forefront and makes it easy to create a presentation from scratch.
• Multiple Devices . With iCloud, you can use Keynote on multiple devices and sync your files. You can resume editing your presentation on your iPad or iPhone even while on the go.
• Customization Options. With many different themes, animation, and effects available, it’s easy to get creative. There are also many themes available from third-party marketplaces like Envato .
• Export Feature. Keynote files can easily be exported to PowerPoint or even QuickTime. It also integrates well with other tools in Apple’s ecosystem, like Pages and Numbers.

Cons of Apple Keynote include:

• Less Extensive Help Files . Keynote has a smaller user group. As such, there’s a smaller knowledge base that you can learn from. The Apple version of PowerPoint can hardly match the massive number of users of other presentation apps.
• macOS Only . If you’ve got a PC and want to create Keynote files from scratch, you’ll need to use the browser-based editor.

As the Apple version of PowerPoint, design is at the forefront of this tool.

3. Google Slides

Google Slides is part of Google’s software office suite included within Google Drive. You could explain it as the Google equivalent of PowerPoint, with one twist: it’s browser-based.

The software and your work reside completely on the web, making it an ideal choice for online sharing. As a browser-first tool, it offers some intuitive and innovative presentation features.

As long as you’re connected, you can access Google Slides from any device. If you work with a team who all use different platforms, Google Slides may be the right choice for you. Here are some Google Slides pros:

• Ease of use . Google Slides isn’t difficult to learn. Help files are incorporated, although they don’t seem to be as extensive as in some of the other packages. There are quite a few third-party resources to help you learn Google Slides.
• Web-based . The online files are always current and up to date. Comparing Google Slides vs. PPT, the online experience is much better with Slides. You can also easily link or embed your document into a web page.
• Collaboration . It’s easy for colleagues and team members to access and edit documents through the web, no matter what device they’re working on. Changes can be made simultaneously in different parts of the same presentation.
• Innovative . Google Slides has several innovative features. For example, there’s a new Q&A feature that allows audiences to interact with a speaker through a link. It looks like a promising feature to hold audience engagement for those who make a public presentation.

Cons of Google Slides include:

• Fewer Choices. Google Slides has fewer choices for effects. There are also fewer themes, though Envato has a good selection of choices. Some users find the program features to be too basic.
• Google Account Required . If you don’t currently have a Google account, you’ll need one to use this app. But you can sign up for an account free of charge.

Where can you go to learn more about Google Slides? As the Google equivalent of PowerPint, you’ll feel at home if you’re familiar with PowerPoint. You can also start with our tutorial, Getting Started With Google Slides . You can also ask questions in the Google Product Forums .

With James Dove

This session explores how you can use Keynote and Images  to create a profession video for your classes. You can use this session to help you build your own in class video teaching tool or as a live presentation to present content to your class.

In Keynote you can now add USDZ models. The effects can be really dramatic when you add animations and MagicMove

Here is a some simple steps to follow in creating your own:   

• Open Keynote and get a blank slide 
• Drag and drop your USDZ file onto your Keynote slide 
• On iPad Two Finger Tap Transition on the slide or on Mac tap Animate and select Magic Move 
• Tap Duplicate and move, wheel and resize your 3D element
• Tap Play to check the speed.
• Go back to magic move settings and change the speed. 
• Experiment with animation builds and Live video. 

See what you can build: 

I have found that creating content in this way engages students and encourages learning. . However even better is when students make and share their own knowledge creating their own Keynotes. Great for Humanities, Science, Design Technology and Languages.

Here is an example of what can be created.

5 Keynote Presentation Design Ideas (Quick Tips)

Here are three sure-fire Keynote design tips. You'll make the most out of your professional Keynote theme. You'll tell a compelling visual story and rock your business presentation:

1. Make Best Use of Template Features

There are so many creative Keynote templates to choose from. It can be difficult to choose best Keynote for your presentations. Style and features are two important consideration points.

We've presented several style examples above. For most presentations, a clean, minimal business style will be a good fit. But have a look at the Keynote slide designs that come packaged inside the theme. 

All the templates featured here have many Keynote slide options. Pick one in the style that fits your business needs. Also look for one that comes packed with the right slide presentation options.

Don't feel like you need to use all the Keynote slides these templates feature. Use the Keynote theme's master slides, image placeholders, and packaged graphics. This will help you keep to a consistent design style.

Use an illustration or infographic when it's appropriate. It adds intuitive understanding to what you're presenting. Keep it simple with text over a photo Keynote layouts. Try not to add too much to an individual slide or too many animations. Simple and straightforward techniques go a long way. This is key to craft a professional Keynote presentation.

Check out this round-up of 35 more Keynote themes. Use any of these for your next Keynote presentation:

2. Keep Your Slide Designs Focused

You likely have a ton of things you want to communicate in your Keynote presentation. Before you even touch a slide, try to simplify all your research and marketing material. This will help you deliver a clear message to your audience.

With every Keynote slide, pick a narrow focus. You want to communicate one idea on each Keynote slide. Make sure each slide is easy to understand. The best Keynote presentation examples build into the narrative of a presentation.

The more info you try to add to a slide, the more clutter and confusion you'll give your audience. Instead, bring an intense focus to each one of your slides.

3. Tell an Integrated Visual Story

It's almost irresistible to want to present a lot of visuals to your audience. Too many graphics can be overwhelming. Try to align what your presentation speech with the visuals in your Keynote layouts. 

You want data and images to tell your story. Design your Keynote slides to lead your audience through a visual narrative. 

Make sure to try out animations in an Apple Keynote theme. This will help segue visually from one slide to the next. You might only need a bar chart, rather than complicated data vis.

If you're pitching a business idea, use photos that line up with the features you're presenting. Have a clear point to each Keynote slide. Present only the info and graphics that best show your point.

4. Leave the Audience With a Big Finish

After a great Keynote presentation, close with an exclamation point at the end. Make it memorable. If you don't leave the audience with a powerful ending, they might forget.

Save something for the end. Spend the last slide showing a completely new perspective on your idea. It might be the Keynote slide that leaves them talking over when they leave the auditorium.

5. Use Animations as a Punchline

Animations get a bad rap when building presentations. We've all sat through presentations with distracting Keynote slides. That's caused by too many objects flying around. Complex animations can be distracting from your content.

But that's not how animations should work. Less is always more with Keynote animations. Use animations sparingly so that it draws attention to your key elements. Save them to support a final point to close your Keynote presentation.

Choose one of the Keynote templates for Mac in this article. They will give you great presentation features to work with. Grab the best Keynote slide designs and use them to connect with your audience.

Put these Keynote design tips to practice. Choose the right Keynote layouts for your business info. Tell an engaging visual story and drive your message home.

How to Customize a Pro Keynote Presentation Template (Fast!)

We've already looked at some of the best themes for Keynote. Now it's time to learn how easy it is to customize them. Use slides from top Apple Keynote templates to build custom presentations.

We'll work with the Keynote theme Fashion Keynote template .  This is one of the top Apple Keynote templates available via Envato Elements. We'll customize five slides so that you can see how easy it is to transform Keynote slide templates.

Let's get started:

1. The Market Slide

Let's start by customizing the slide labeled "The Market." This is an important slide for many Keynote presentations. It can show your geographic footprint.

You can customize most Keynote slides by clicking on individual elements. Here, we need to update the slide master in this case to adjust the logo. The slide master controls many slides at the same time. It's a separate "layer" for editing your templates.

To adjust a slide master, go to  View > Edit Master Slides.  You'll see a trimmed down version of the Keynote slide. Drop in the logo and tagline to update many slides simultaneously. Then, exit the slide master from the View  menu.

Now, we can update the specifics of the slide. In the example below, I've added a tagline. Then I clicked on individual elements and recolored them from the Format > Style menu. It took me less than a minute to update this slide to match my brand.

2. The About Slide

An About slide explains most aspects of your business. Use a simple About slide can for an overview of the entire Keynote presentation.

As you open this slide, you'll notice that the elements are already updated to include the new logo. That's because it uses the same master, so you'll see the logo is already updated. My second step was to type in the text boxes, as well as adding a new headline that introduces the slide.

In the example below, I clicked on the rectangles. Then I changed their color from the Format > Style  menu to recolor the progress bars.

3. The Social Strategy Slide

Let's get social! A social strategy Keynote slide shows your focus on social media channels.

How Canva Evolved an Internal Keynote Event into an External-facing Festival of Creativity

“We don’t want to be the normal tech keynote; that’s not our style. We aim to put on a show and to entertain. Our keynotes and the content are always very whimsical, colorful, theatrical, fun and entertaining. That’s our brand and who we are.”

–Jimmy Knowles, Global Head of Experiential, Canva

What started as a themed keynote followed by a vibrant afterparty, geared primarily toward an internal audience of Canva’s employees, known as Canvanauts, Canva opened the doors to an external audience for the first time, evolving the third iteration of Canva Create into a daylong festival of creativity at YouTube Theater/SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, on May 23.

An event of firsts, it was also Canva Create’s first time in the U.S., as the brand hosted the first two events in Sydney where it’s headquartered, and recast the keynote via a virtual experience for millions of global users to view news on the latest products, tools and features. In addition to its usual lineup of speakers from the leadership team, Canva brought in several thought leaders, including Disney ceo Bob Iger, actress Mindy Kaling and author Adam Grant, for keynote conversations. (Plus, the Canva Enterprise rap performance from the keynote went viral…)

Additional touchpoints included the Headshot Hub, the Canva Canteen for lunch, networking opportunities, photo moments and the Canva Consultations support desk staffed with employees to answer questions about accounts and features. A hit with attendees, the DIY Swag Shop gave away dip-dyed tote bags with corporate lingo and fun phrases like “Let’s unpack that,” “Totes a good idea” and “Low-hanging fruit,” which could be customized with patches. ( Agency: Public School)

Jimmy Knowles, global head of experiential at Canva, describes Canva Create as “a jam-packed day full of electric energy,” and the event exceeded attendance goals with more than 3,300 participants. Since 2022, Knowles has seen Canva Create’s evolution from internal event to festival of creativity. Below, he delves into the event’s shifting priorities as Canva enters the b-to-b space, and the nuances that come from tailoring a keynote event into a full-day external-facing program.

Take a Photo Tour of Canva Create:

Event Marketer: How did Canva Create start, and what was that first iteration like?

Jimmy Knowles: Canva Create as a platform has been on a little bit of a wild journey. At Canva, being an Australian company, we broke down our yearly cadences in terms of the Australian seasons. At the beginning of each, we would have the season opener, an internal-only event that was an opportunity for us to talk about the goals that we crushed that past season, give an outlook into what different teams across the entire company are working on for the next season, what products we’re launching, what we’re developing, what events we’re going to host, all of that. They would become these massive events that would always be themed; everybody would get dressed up. It ranged from Canva Land that was candy and sweets themed to one that was themed around the Roaring ’20s and “Gatsby.” There were these elaborate sets, and it was this really fun, whimsical way for how the company and leadership were sharing updates.

We wanted to shake things up and turn this on its head. We also wanted to bring a little more of this magic externally to the community to show them how we do things at Canva and give more of our personality. So my first six months at Canva were spent building what would become the first-ever Canva Create hosted in Sydney in September 2022. Called “The Future is Visual,” it was really meant to be an evolution of our season openers. We had 2,500 Canvanauts in Sydney come to the Hordern Pavilion dressed in neons, sequins and costumes, and we had what would become our first major public keynote presentation that launched the full Visual Suite to the world. It was done in a way that was very Canva—it was colorful, loud and over the top. There were pyrotechnics, confetti and a rap.

EM: How has Canva Create evolved from year one to year three?

JK: “The Future is Visual” was the first time that we were able to really land the messaging around our Visual Suite in a big way that was able to be digested by press and by our community and get people really excited about the future of Canva and what we were doing. It was such a massive success for us that we turned around six months later and held a second Canva Create in March 2023 called “Brand New Era.” We saw this shiny thing that got so much attention, buzz, excitement and chatter on social media, and it was like “OK, let’s double down on this.”

As soon as it wrapped, we quickly got to thinking about what the next version of this looks like. And there were a couple of things that we knew were really important. One, the United States is a massively important audience for us. Two, we were looking to land the narrative around Canva being enterprise-ready and being a workplace tool—so this shifting perception from Canva the tool that you use to make your save-the-dates, birthday party invitations and fun social media graphics, to Canva the tool that’s powering your entire workplace and your entire team to collaborate to create content at scale. With that in mind, it made sense for a strategic shift to the United States to “fish where the fish are.”

I think sharing some of that magic of what happens internally translates so well to an external audience, so we decided with this 2024 iteration to open up Canva Create for the first time to an external audience and to invite our community and sales prospects through the doors to experience that same magic and to get hands-on with the product and to interact with Canvanauts from across the globe.

EM: What were some unique challenges that came with opening up Canva Create to an external audience?

JK: In how we present and how we talk about some of these things, all of that had to change and become a little bit more external-friendly, like some of the inside jokes that we might have used in season openers don’t necessarily translate to an external audience, so you have to do a little bit of a shifting of that content. That comes with a significant change for us internally to think about how we still maintain that sense of what everyone loved about season openers. It became more of a marketing objective for us.

Beyond just the great keynote, how Canva Create first started out, there needed to be more substance and content for the day. We saw this very clear opportunity to create different touchpoints for people to not only get involved with the product, but bring this highly creative community together, to learn from each other, to learn from thought leaders, to be inspired. Not everything we did at Canva Create was solely and exclusively about Canva; it was ways to get them thinking about AI and what that means for creativity, looking at things like typography and design, dissecting different elements of collaboration in the workplace, and what it means to create your personal brand.

Now with Canva Create 2024 under our belt, the sentiment and the outpouring of love, excitement and appreciation from the community for opening the doors for them to experience it for themselves has been so overwhelmingly positive and exciting. And it helps us realize and know that the decisions that we made were the right ones, and it feels like we’ve cracked a really nice formula.
