Easy Tech TutsHow to Edit Audio in Canva with this Tutorial Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Canva includes basic audio editing tools that let you shape sound directly within your video project, without needing separate audio software. This is useful for adding music, voiceovers, or sound effects to social videos, presentations, and promotional content. This guide covers the core editing steps.
01Upload or select an audio track
Add your own audio file or choose one from Canva's built-in music library, then drag it onto your project's timeline.
02Trim the clip to length
Drag the edges of the audio clip on the timeline to cut it down to the section you need.
03Adjust the volume
Use the volume control to raise or lower the audio level, especially if you're layering it under a voiceover.
04Add effects or fades
Apply a fade-in or fade-out so the audio starts and ends smoothly rather than cutting abruptly.
05Preview and export your project
Play back the full video to check the audio timing, then export your finished design.
