How Do I Save a Template in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 5:38 pm

As a design platform, Canva is used by millions of people every day to create stunning designs. Whether you’re creating an infographic, a social media post, or a presentation, one of the first things you’ll need to do is choose a template.

Canva has over 60,000 templates to choose from, so finding the right one for your project can be daunting. Once you’ve found the perfect template, though, you’ll want to save it so you can use it again and again. Here’s how to do it.

How to Save a Canva Template

First, log in to your Canva account and find the template you want to save. If you’re starting from scratch, click on the “Create a design” button. If you want to browse through Canva’s library of templates, click on the “Templates” tab at the top of the page.

PRO TIP: When saving a template in Canva, be sure to select the correct file type. Otherwise, your template may not be compatible with the program you are using.

Once you’ve found a template you like, click on it to open it up. From there, click on the “Use this template” button in the upper-right corner.

You should now be in the editor with your chosen template loaded. Before you start making changes, though, click on the “Save as” button in the upper-left corner.

This will open up a pop-up window where you can name your design and choose where to save it. By default, it will save to your “All Designs” section, but you can also create a new folder or save it to an existing folder.
