Three methods for Exponent Superscript in Canva

Magic Write for Exponent Superscript in Canva

Select any text or any number in Canva that needs to become an exponent. Click Magic Write and choose Custom Prompt. Ask the AI to create a proper exponent for the number, generate the response, and click Replace to apply it.

Use a clear prompt like this:

Please turn this equation by adding a proper exponent.
Turn the number two to be an exponent.
Just give me the simple response.

Manual placement

Insert a regular text element for the base, for example X. Add another text element for the exponent, such as 2 or 3. Position it at the top right of the base and make it smaller to look like an exponent.

This is straightforward but probably not perfect if you are creating a lot of exponents. If you just need it occasionally, this technique works well.

If you want a creative follow up, try building a polished 3D book cover once your text is set.

Equations app

Go to Apps in Canva and search for Equation. Click the Equations app, then in the Basic section choose the exponent option. Change the color to match your background before inserting, because you cannot change the color later.

Enter the base like X and the exponent number such as 3. Click Insert to place the exponent generated by the app.
