Canva, an all-in-one tool for creators, is one of the most popular graphic design websites around today.
The simple to use interface, editable templates, and access to millions of graphic elements, stock photos, and fonts makes it my go-to for creating almost everything!
From basic image design to social media videos, Canva is such a powerful tool to help you create great looking graphics for a multitude of projects.
In this article, we are going to cover the basics of opening and editing a Canva template. There are so many great things about Canva, that we can't include everything there is to know, but this should help you get started.
How to Open the Template:
If you have made a purchase of one of our templates (thank you so much btw) there will be a PDF file available to you. The links to the template are on the first page in the "Links" section.
Open the PDF using your devices PDF viewer (like Adobe, etc.). Click the Canva Template link, and a Canva webpage opens where you select the "Use Template" button.
