Guide to Sharing Your Designs Effectively

When to Use This Guide:
This guide will help you understand how to share your Canva designs seamlessly using various methods. Whether you want to share a design with friends, colleagues, or collaborators, follow the steps outlined here for a smooth sharing experience.

Overview:
You can share your Canva designs through email, by creating a design link, or by publishing them as a website. Keep reading to discover each method in detail, understand when to use them, and learn about potential limitations.

Sharing Designs via Email:
You can share your designs directly with specific individuals by using their email addresses. Before sharing via email, ensure that your account is verified for a trouble-free experience.

Sharing Links from Inside the Editor:
After finalizing your design, you can share it with others who can then either edit or view and comment on it. You'll be able to see who exactly has access to your shared design.

Limitations to Sharing from the Homepage:
Please note that sharing a design's browser URL via the homepage may have limitations. If the design is saved in a folder or shared outside your brand, it may not preview as intended. We recommend sharing directly from the design preview within the editor.

Creating Public View and Template Links:
With a Public View link, recipients can view your design without any ability to edit. If you'd like to share a design for others to use as a template, provide them with a Template link which allows them to make their own copy.

Turning Designs into Websites:
When you publish a design as a website, it becomes accessible with an SEO-friendly URL and is fully responsive across all devices. You can even secure the website with a password or add a custom favicon.

Adjusting Access Permissions:
If someone requests access to a design, you'll receive a notification. Approving access permissions can be managed straight from your email if you're using Gmail.

FAQ on Sharing Limitations:
While sharing, please note any limitations such as the daily recipient cap to prevent spam. If you face any issues, review these limitations and adjust your sharing methods accordingly.
