Can You Link Canva to Instagram?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 2:52 pm

As a business owner, you know the importance of marketing your products or services on social media. With over 1 billion monthly active users, Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms. And, with the addition of stories, live videos, and shopping features, it’s become even more attractive to businesses.

So, can you link Canva to Instagram?

The short answer is yes! You can link your Canva account to Instagram so that you can easily share your designs on the platform.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Log in to your Canva account and select the design you want to share on Instagram.

2. Click on the Share button in the top-right corner of the design editor.

3. A pop-up window will appear with various sharing options. Select Copy Link.

4. Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and log in to your account.

5.Tap on the + sign to create a new post.

6. Paste the link you copied from Canva into the caption field and tap Share.

Your Canva design will now be shared as an image on Instagram! Plus, since you’re using a link, anyone who clicks on the image will be taken directly to your Canva design where they can view it in full screen mode or make their own edits.

There are a few things to keep in mind when sharing your Canva designs on Instagram:

The first is that only images are supported (no videos), so if your design includes video elements, they won’t be visible when shared on Instagram.

The second is that designs shared from Canva will appear as a regular image post on Instagram, without any of the interactive features (such as tags, mentions, or hashtags) that are available when sharing natively from within the app.

Finally, while you can share links to designs on Instagram Stories, only users with an iOS device will be able to see them (Android users will see a “Link not supported” message).

In conclusion, linking your Canva account to Instagram is a great way to easily share your designs with your followers. Keep in mind that some features (such as video) won’t be available when shared from Canva, but overall it’s a quick and easy way to get your designs in front of a large audience!

PRO TIP: Canva is a great way to make professional-looking images for your blog or social media accounts, but you should be aware that there are some risks associated with linking your Canva account to Instagram. Your Canva account could be hacked, and the hacker could then post malicious content to your Instagram account. Additionally, the hacker could access your personal information and use it for identity theft or other malicious purposes. To protect yourself, only link your Canva account to Instagram accounts that you trust, and be sure to set strong passwords for both accounts.
