Uploading fonts

 

 

1. From the homepage side panel, click  Brand.
2. Click the Brand Kit tab. If you have multiple Brand Kits, select one to customise.
3. Under Brand fonts, click  Upload a font.
4. Scroll down to Fonts and select  Add new, then  Upload a font.
5. Confirm and wait for the upload to finish. If your font doesn’t upload, check our article on Font upload errors.

Using uploaded fonts

Your uploaded fonts can be used the same way as fonts from the Canva library.

 

 

1. Click on a text box.
2. Click on the Font dropdown on the toolbar above the editor.
3. Your uploaded fonts will appear under your  Uploaded fonts. You may need to scroll down to see it.

To set it as a heading, subheading, or body text box under Brand Kit, see Setting up and using brand fonts.

Grouped fonts

For fonts with multiple weights, you’ll see them grouped. Select the  arrow next to it for the list.

If the fonts aren't grouped correctly when uploaded, there may be a problem with the metadata in the font file. Delete the fonts from the Brand Kit and update the metadata with the correct family name before re-uploading.

Can’t find the uploaded fonts

Can’t find the fonts you uploaded? It may be on a different Brand Kit. To switch Brand Kits, go to  current Brand Kit’s name, and select the Brand Kit you’d like to use.

Using bold and italics on uploaded fonts

Ensure you upload both the regular file and the bold or italics file if you want to use bold or italics fonts. For each font family, you can add up to 18 styles.

• The "B" and "I" buttons will be grayed out if you've only uploaded the regular version, not the bold or italic version.
• If you have fonts uploaded before July 2023, you'll need to re-upload them with the additional styles to ensure they're automatically grouped.
• When designs with older font versions are uploaded, they must be updated with the newer versions.
• "Condensed" style fonts will always be uploaded separately.
• Canva doesn't support variable fonts.

Deleting uploaded fonts

 

 

1. From the homepage side panel, click  Brand.
2. Click the Brand Kit tab. If you have multiple Brand Kits, select one to customise.
3. Scroll down to Fonts and find the font you’d like to delete. If you’re unable to find it under Fonts, select Manage uploaded fonts.
