How to create an ebook in Canva. Hey guys welcome back. In this video I'll be showing you guys how
0:07
you can get started with building your ebooks in Canva. So let's get into it. Now Canva can be a
0:14
great tool to build your ebooks, especially with the fact that it's so user-friendly and even as
0:20
a beginner you can easily build your ebook with templates and pre-existing designs. So to get
0:26
started you have to create your account on Canva. I already have an account so I have just logged in
0:33
If you don't have one already yet then just simply sign up with your email address and that is it
0:39
From here you can go into this search bar and you can search for ebook. Now this is just to give you
0:45
guys an idea of how to build your ebook. They have quite a few different free and paid templates
0:51
available for you to start building your ebook. They have quite a few categories, industries, or
0:59
niches that they are targeting. So they have things such as you know text-oriented books, they also
1:05
have you know recipe-oriented books, content books, and you know quite a few different types of
1:11
templates are available. So a lot of people might wonder what is the size of an ebook? Well a size
1:17
of an ebook is 512 by 800 pixels but it's really variable by the device that you are building it
1:26
for. If you're building it in a landscape version specifically for iPads that is going to be a
1:31
different design but mostly it is 500 by 800 something along those lines. Now in this we have
1:39
quite a few different templates available so I'll get started with a template and then I'll show you
1:44
guys how you can build your own templates as well. So if you want to build something that's
1:49
absolutely unique to you. Now you guys can see this is a simple ebook that has been designed
1:54
for recipes and whatnot and I'll just take this template over here and they have you know the
2:00
chapter one, the recipes, they have the content. So I'll get started with this fashion newbies
2:09
the ultimate guide ultimate guide like this and then I'm going to replace the image in the
2:15
background and I'm just going to search for a fashion over here like this and I am just going
2:23
to search for any image like so or something that would provide a bit more of a contrast or I can
2:33
just change you know the text color so it's a bit more visually easy to look at but what I'm going
2:40
to do is I'm going to resize this image a little and once I have resized my image I want to place
2:48
it like this or maybe I think I want to place it like so like this and then I'm going to click on
2:57
the text and then click on effects on the top right and provide them with a lifted effect so
3:03
this can help in the visual element so the text is really readable even though it is you know it
3:09
doesn't have a lot of contrast and that's because I don't want to add like you know blocks behind it
3:14
I could add blocks you know translucent blocks to make the text more visually to make the text
3:21
visually stand out but I think this looks a bit more neat and I personally like this look a lot
3:27
now we have our content so in your contents you're going to get started with writing your chapters
3:32
let's say you have chapter one which is history of fashion history of fashion chapter two which
3:42
might be you know let's say it's evolution current styles current icons like this we've built our
3:50
table of contents and with ebooks I like to hyperlink it so in my chapter one I'm just going
3:57
to click on the this icon and then I'm going to group this usually I like to group the entire
4:03
thing so the chapter name is grouped and then I like to go ahead and click on these three dots
4:09
and then click on link over here and you can link these to a particular page if you can't find the
4:17
link you can just ungroup it and link everything individually as well so you can click on link
4:23
and I want this to link to a page which is going to be page number three and page number three is
4:30
the page from where our chapter one is going to start so history of fashion like this and I'm
4:39
going to search for historic now obviously I am using stock footage you guys obviously are going
4:46
to use your own content and whatnot that you might have for your book so we are just using
4:52
some stock image to fill up our book a little like so and now after that we have you know detailed
5:00
details about the chapter we can start writing information within this you can build 10 20
5:06
however many pages you want and I'll show you guys what it's going to look like so if I go into the
5:11
present section this is what the book is going to look like so people can go through it like this
5:16
you know like so people can go through now this is just one design if you're looking to build
5:22
something from scratch that is also a very easy thing to do with canva and you can even make it a
5:28
flip book so if you want to convert simple books or your ebooks into something that's easier to
5:35
look at you can go into share and go into more over here and then if you scroll down you have
5:43
this option in design called simple booklet flip so you're going to click on this and this is another
5:50
application that enables you to create your design as a flip book so it's going to prepare your design
5:57
and it's going to open up their platform where you can convert your ebook and you can view it
6:03
in simple booklet flip and you can just sign in with google facebook or microsoft and you can just
6:10
go on ahead and build flip books with that so now it's preparing our canva design and the best part
6:17
about this is that you can choose how you want it to look like so I want this to be a page curl
6:25
that's the style I want and you also have advanced settings as well but I'm just going to click on
6:29
convert over here and just like that it's going to convert our basic design into a ebook that is
6:37
you know flippable this just helps in making it easier for your customers to read you know a lot
6:43
of customers prefer their book to look like this this can be a great way to make it you know visually
6:50
more appetizing for your customers now if you want to do this with any design on canva you can do it
6:56
it's not a paid feature this is available absolutely for free and you can go ahead and
7:01
get started from scratch as well so if I was to get started from scratch I would go into elements
7:06
go into shapes like this and then I'm going to enter a pink shape you know I'm going to
7:16
use a simple color and then I'm going to enter a similar block this time over here
7:23
and then change the color on this one a little like this and then convert this into texture
7:30
like this and then I can just add some texture over here like this we're just going to join
7:36
these elements together and we're going to bring this to the front and I'm just going to add some
7:44
more texture and I can enter you know the title of the book and then I can go into the next page
7:49
and start writing the contents and the rest of the pages as well so I hope you
