Movable Timer for Canva icon: a stopwatch with a drag handle

Chrome extension

Put Canva's timer where you want it.

Movable Timer for Canva adds a small drag handle to Canva's built-in timer, so you can place it where it won't cover faces, names, or other content. It stays within Canva's browser window and remembers the spot for next time.

Available in the Chrome Web Store (opens in a new tab)

Free. Works in desktop Chrome. Collects no data.

Canva's timer opens in a fixed spot.

Press a number key while presenting in Canva and a countdown appears in the corner of the screen. Canva gives you no way to reposition it, so it can cover faces, names, or other content you need to see. This extension adds the missing handle.

How It Works

Put the timer in a better spot.

  1. Install it.

    Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store. There is no account to create and nothing to configure.

  2. Start a Canva timer.

    While presenting, press a number key from 1 to 9 for that many minutes. In the editor, click Timer in the bottom bar.

  3. Drag it where you want it.

    Hover the timer and drag the handle that appears under it to the spot you want within the Canva page.

  4. It stays put.

    The timer opens in the same spot next time. Double-click the handle to send it back to Canva's default corner.

We built this because a gap in someone else's software was getting in the way of a simple task. That is most of our work: we find where business processes and technology don't fit, then connect systems, automate the handoffs, and build the data pipelines that close the gap for growing businesses.
