So, if you want to export 60fps video from Canva but can’t find any setting to adjust the frame rate? That’s because Canva doesn’t give you that option natively. You can’t just toggle a switch and get 60fps – at least not through the regular settings.
But here’s the thing – I discovered a workaround back in July 2023 on my YouTube channel, and I was the first person to share this trick. Since then, I’ve seen countless copy videos and Reddit posts using this same method. Now that I’ve launched techrealtime.com in 2026, I want to bring you the original, definitive guide right here.
Let me show you how to force Canva to export buttery smooth 60fps videos.
The Trick in a Nutshell!
Canva’s render engine defaults to 30fps. But if you include any video element that’s already rendered at 60fps, Canva matches that frame rate for your entire export. Simple, right?
Here’s the step-by-step breakdown:
- Step 1: Open Your Project in Canva
Fire up Canva on your browser or mobile app and open the project you want to export. Get everything ready – your animations, text, images, whatever you’re working with.
- Step 2: Try the Regular Download (Just to See)
Go ahead and click “Share” then “Download” like you normally would. Export your video and check its properties. You’ll see it’s stuck at the default 30fps. Nothing special yet.
- Step 3: Get a 60fps Video File
This is where the magic happens. You need a short video clip that’s already rendered at 60fps – even just one second long works perfectly. I’ll link a blank 60fps file you can use, or you can create your own.
The key is Canva detects when a 60fps element is present in your project and switches its output to match it.
- Step 4: Add That 60fps Clip to Your Project
Add it as a new silent slide at the very end
Or drop it somewhere in your timeline where it’s hidden (behind other elements, scaled down to nothing, whatever works)
The file just needs to exist in your project. Canva doesn’t care if anyone actually sees it.
- Step 5: Export Again
Now go back to “Share” and “Download” one more time. Give your file a name and let Canva do its thing.
- Step 6: Check Your Video
Play the downloaded video and check its properties. You should see that sweet 60fps playback – way smoother than the default 30fps. Huge difference, right?
FAQs
Q. How to Export 60fps Video from Canva?
Canva doesn’t have a native 60fps setting — it exports at 30fps by default.
But here’s the trick:
1. Add a 60fps video clip to your project (even 1 second, hidden somewhere).
2. Canva detects it and switches the whole export to 60fps.
3. That’s it. No extra tools. Still works in 2026.
Q. What if I add a file with more than 60fps in Canva? Will it go higher FPS?
A. No, Right now, Canva caps exports at 60fps max. Even if you throw in a 120fps clip, your output will still be 60fps.
So no need to hunt for higher frame rate files – 60fps is the ceiling for now.
Q. Does this still work in 2026?
Yes, Canva hasn’t changed this behavior since I first shared the trick. The default is still 30fps, and adding a 60fps element still forces the higher frame rate.
Q. Why I’m Sharing This (Again)
I’m not gatekeeping. I shared this trick freely on YouTube back in 2023, and I’m sharing it here now. All I ask – if you use this method in your own content, a quick credit or link back to techrealtime.com or my original video would mean a lot. I put in the work to figure this out so others wouldn’t have to.
Wrapping Up
That’s literally it. No complex software, no paid tools, no editing skills required. Just a simple workaround that tricks Canva into giving you the frame rate you actually want.
