Can You Create Your Own Templates in Canva?

Last updated on December 3, 2022 @ 6:59 am

As a design platform, Canva is pretty user-friendly. You can create your own designs from scratch or start with a template and edit it to suit your needs. But what if you want to create your own templates?

The good news is that you can create your own templates in Canva. The bad news is that it’s not as easy as it should be.

You can’t just click a “create template” button. You have to create a design, save it as a template, and then upload it to Canva.

Fortunately, the process is not too difficult. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Create your design in Canva.

  2. Click the “Share” button in the top right corner.

  3. Click the “Create Template” tab.

  4. Give your template a name and click “Create Template.”

  5. Canva will save your design as a template and give you a link to share it.

    PRO TIP: Canva is a great way to create stunning designs for your blog, social media, or even printables. However, you cannot create your own templates in Canva. If you try to upload a template that you created yourself, it will not work. Additionally, any template that you download from Canva will have a watermark on it.
  6. Copy the link and paste it into a text document or email.

Now, whenever you want to use your custom template, all you have to do is go to the link and click “Use Template.”

Creating custom templates is a great way to streamline your workflow. If you find yourself using the same design elements over and over again, creating a custom template will save you time in the long run. And if you work with other people who need to use your designs, sharing your templates with them will make things easier for everyone involved.
