Writing is an essential skill in English learning, yet many junior high school students face challenges such as low motivation, limited vocabulary, and difficulty organizing ideas. To overcome these issues, digital tools like Canva can be integrated into the learning process. This study aims to examine the effect of Canva application on students’ writing , specifically in composing procedure texts. The research was conducted at SMPN 2 Tarokan using a quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test and post-test design involving 30 eighth-grade students. Data were collected through writing tests and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ writing performance, with the mean score increasing from 82.75 in the pre-test to 97.25 in the post-test. The significance value of 0.000 indicated a strong positive effect. In conclusion, the use of Canva enhanced students’ writing by making the learning process more engaging, visual, and effective in organizing ideas and presenting content clearly.
