While we do not create our designs in Canva, it is possible to edit the various content pieces in Canva, giving our customers more options when it comes to customizing their content.
So if you love Canva, this is FABULOUS news!
DISCLAIMER:
Editing in Canva isn’t perfect. Some elements you may not be able to specifically edit, but you would have to delete the elements you want to change and replace them with new elements. This is particularly true of our image-based content like cover graphics, wall art and posters. But in the case of documents, you can usually edit the text without having to replace the element completely.
However, if your document is more than 300 pages or 25 MB, you may have to remove pages in order to be able to upload to Canva.
It’s not foolproof, but we pride ourselves on quality design that offers the most diverse editing capability using a variety of tools. Designing our products solely in Canva would create very strict restrictions in editing capabilities.
Also, please note these tutorials are just quick instructions on how to upload the files and start editing in Canva. For Canva feature tutorials, please do consult the Canva website to help you learn all the features of the program.
SUMMARY:
If you convert the various files to PDF format, you can start to edit the files. In the case of documents, you can edit text, remove graphic elements, change backgrounds, etc. In the case of images, you'll be able to remove elements and replace them with your desired elements or text.
Note that you CAN upload PPT / PPTX and DOC / DOCX files directly to Canva for editing (currently, as far as we are able to tell, maximum size is about 300 pages / 270 MB). You do not have to convert them first, but for .psd, you will need a PDF file to do editing.
And great news! As of today, we will be converting all our future files PDF as a service for our customers. That means, all our packages from October 2023 (Abundance Mindset EKit) on will include a PDF version of all our files. That means you can do some editing of them in Canva, Adobe Acrobat and more.
But back to strictly talking about Canva, if you need help or want to see how it works, these tutorials might prove useful.
NOTE – Our cover graphics in documents are images to give the most custom editing possibilities and so you can create 3D versions as well (we recommend this software for making 3D promotional product images), so you will need to edit your covers separately and then insert the image into your Canva document.
