This feature benefits designers with limited time and resources but requires consistent visual identity across their designs.
How to Copy Style and Format in Canva
1. How to Change Colour with Copy Style and Format in Canva
Using the Eyedropper Tool
The Eyedropper tool is one of the most excellent features Canva has ever introduced.
If you are unaware of it, let me explain to you very clearly,
The Eyedropper tool is a feature in Canva that allows users to select and copy the style and format of specific elements in their designs, such as colors, fonts, and shapes.
It is a small icon in the left-hand toolbar of the Canva editor, represented by an icon of an eye dropper.
Selecting the Eyedropper tool turns your cursor into a magnifying glass that lets you zoom in on specific elements in your design.
You can then click on the element whose style and format you want to copy, and Canva will automatically capture its style and design.
Here are the steps to use the Eyedropper tool,
Step 1: Select the element whose style and format you want to copy.
Step 2: Click on the “Eyedropper” tool in the toolbar on the left side of the screen.
Step 3: Click on the element to apply the copied style and format.
Step 4: The style and format of the selected element will be copied and applied to the new part.
That’s it; you are done!!!
Now let’s look at the other way how to do copy style and format in Canva.

3. Select the element whose style and format you want to copy.
4. Click on the “Copy Style” button at the screen’s top right corner or click the navigation button once after selecting the elements and get the copy style as shown below.
