Do you have a PDF that you want to use in Canva? Maybe it’s a product guide, an eBook, or a printable. Whatever the case may be, you can easily upload your PDF to Canva and use it as part of your design.
Here’s how:
Contents
1. Click “Uploads” Then Upload Your PDF File
The first thing you need to do is head to the Uploads tab. You’ll find it on the left-hand side of the Canva editor. Once you’re in the Uploads section, either drag and drop your PDF file or click the “Upload Files” button and select your PDF from your computer.
2. Add Your PDF To Your Design From The “Projects” Library
Once your PDF has been uploaded to Canva, it will appear in the “Projects” library. To add it to a design, simply click on the PDF file and drag it onto your work.
3. Edit Your PDF In Canva
Now that your file has been added to your design, you can start editing it. Canva brings the pdf in as an editable text box, so you’re free to swap in your own wording and adjust the font, color, and size. Unless your PDF is an image, you’ll likely want to make some changes before adding it to your design. Keep in mind that a PDF with several pages comes in as separate elements, so you can place each page wherever it works best in your layout.
4. Download Your Design
When you’re happy with your design, click the “Download” button in the top-right corner and select the format you want to download your design in. The available options let you save the finished design as a PDF, PNG, or JPG file.
And that’s it! You now know how to upload a PDF to Canva and use it in your designs. Give it a try today and see what you can create.
