How Do I Embed Canva in Canvas?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 8:17 pm

Canva is a design tool that makes it easy to create beautiful designs without having to be a professional designer. You can use Canva to create everything from social media graphics to presentations and flyers.

PRO TIP: If you are trying to embed a Canva design in Canvas, be aware that this is not possible. Canva is not compatible with Canvas, and attempting to embed a design from Canva will result in an error message.

If you’re using Canva to create designs for your online course, you can easily embed your designs into your Canvas course using the HTML code widget. Here’s how:

  1. Open the design you want to embed in Canvas in Canva.
  2. Click Share in the top right hand corner of the design.
  3. Click Embed.
  4. Copy the code provided.
  5. In your Canvas course, go to the page where you want to embed the design and click Add External Tool under Tools in the right-hand sidebar.
  6. Paste the code you copied from Canva into the URL field and click Submit.

That’s it! Your Canva design will now be embedded on the page in your Canvas course. Students will be able to view and interact with the design, but they won’t be able to edit it.
