4 Canva Apps That Will Make Your Designs Smoother, Sassier, and Way More Pro

Designing in Canva already gives you a head start ➔ but these four built-in apps take your visuals to another level.

From typography upgrades to pixel-perfect fixes, here are four Canva tools I use when I want my designs to snap, glow, and flow without extra effort:

1. TypeExtrude

Tired of trying to fake 3D text with copy-paste shadows? TypeExtrude does it right.

With this app, you can:

  • Add 3D depth and dimension to your headlines

  • Create bold, elevated typography with zero manual layering

  • Instantly take your title text from flat to fabulous

📌 Pro Tip: Use this for lead slides or social posts that need a visual “punch.”


2. BrandFetch

Ever spent 10 minutes looking for the right brand logo or color codes?

BrandFetch solves that in one click:

  • Instantly pull verified logos, color palettes, and brand assets

  • Access millions of brands in high quality

  • Drop them directly into your design ➔ no downloads needed

📌 Pro Tip: Great for client decks, press kits, or brand comparison visuals.


3. Image Splitter

If you’ve ever made a carousel for Instagram, you know the pain of lining everything up just right.

Image Splitter makes it easy:

  • Split a large design into seamless slides

  • Customize row/column counts for multi-post layouts

  • Keep everything aligned without guesswork

📌 Pro Tip: Use it for carousels, web banners, or “swipeable” tutorial posts.


4. Image Upscaler

Your client sends you a logo… and it’s 180px wide. Yikes.

Image Upscaler:

  • Fixes pixelated or low-res images

  • Sharpens blurry uploads without distorting them

  • Instantly improves your final design quality

📌 Pro Tip: Use this before adding logos to print or large-format graphics.
