How to Use Canva in the New Create Post?

Last updated on

With the Canva integration, you no longer need to download and upload your creative across platforms. SocialPilot allows you to design visuals directly inside the new Create Post and add them to your post in one seamless flow.

Now, Canva imports behave just like any other media source in the new Create Post. Your Canva designs appear directly in the Media section, where the updated layout supports a single media type per post. You can add up to four images or one video from Canva, and any designs you’ve added recently will also be available for the next seven days in the Recently Uploaded section.

How To Use the SocialPilot App Within Canva?

SocialPilot has integrated Canva within its dashboard for users to be able to easily create graphics and add them to their posts. But in addition to that, SocialPilot has also built a connection in Canva so that people can export their designs from Canva to SocialPilot's Library within a few clicks.

This two-way connection is extremely helpful to streamline the process of content creation, access, and management.

  1. Log in to Canva.
  2. Choose a template to create a new design.
  3. Now, on the left menu panel, scroll down and click on Apps.
  4. In the search bar that appears, search for SocialPilot.

  1. Click on the app thumbnail, then click the Open button.
  2. Once the app opens, click on the Connect button.

  1. Now, sign in to your SocialPilot account.
  2. Once the connection is complete, you will see an "Export to SocialPilot" button.
  3. Now, create and complete your design, and then click on the Export to SocialPilot button.
  4. Select the image format, dimension, and size, and then click on Export.

  1. Now your design has been exported and saved in the SocialPilot Content Library. If you go to the Library, you will be able to see the design you exported from Canva saved there.
