Use this interactive demo to learn how to add background music to your Canva video in minutes.

Quick summary

Adding music to a Canva video is done directly inside the Canva editor using the built-in Audio tab under the Apps panel. You can search, select, and trim music tracks without leaving the editor, then share your finished video instantly.


Steps

  1. At the bottom corner of the edit panel, click 'Apps'.
  2. Select the 'Audio' tab from the editor.
  3. Use the search bar to look for music.
  4. Click on the music track you want to add to your video.
  5. Adjust and trim the music that you added to your video.
  6. Once the music has been added, click 'Share' to save your video.

📌 Why this matters

Adding music to a Canva video transforms a basic visual into a polished, engaging piece of content that holds viewer attention longer. Canva's built-in Audio feature lets creators search, select, and trim licensed music tracks directly inside the editor — no third-party tools or audio software required. This makes professional-quality video production accessible to marketers, educators, and social media creators of all skill levels. Whether you're producing a TikTok, a presentation, or a promotional clip, background music is a proven way to boost emotional impact and watch time.
